Amazing property! Perfection

This would have to be one of the best places to stay along the Great Ocean Road. With uninterrupted views of the ocean, a roaring fireplace and hot tub, it is the perfect weekender. And pet friendly!!!

Magical in Apollo Bay

We had a wonderful stay at Achilles. The pictures do not do the property justice. Very centrally located for exploring the Great Ocean Road. We loved sitting in the hot tub, staring at the stars and listening to the waves crash nearby…Truly magical!

An oasis

This was a much needed getaway for five tired mums, and this property did not disappoint. Every need was catered for, and the hot tub divine. The property is a good 15 minutes walk into town, and the view from the balcony spectacular, especially on a moonlit night. Highly recommend!
Response from VrboOwner on 3 April 2020
We are glad that a group of tired mums got the break they deserve. The views, the luxurious facilities and the outdoor spa all make Achilles' the perfect place to relax, unwind and catch-up with good friends. We would welcome you back anytime!

Lovely luxury holiday home

Was as described and a lovely experience. Great hearing the waves whilst sitting in the spa. Short walk to the beach. Short driving distance to town. Beautiful bushland view at the front with beach scenery in the back. Just lovely.

Amazing birthday weekend:)

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful house for my 40th birthday weekend - all I wanted was a quiet weekend away. Perfect location right near the beach with absolutely amazing views from the living room. Loved the outdoor spa. And so amazing that it was dog friendly - Harvey our goldie had a great weekend too. Have already recommended it to multiple people & can't wait to stay again.

Achilles-ocean views with hot tub

I would highly recommend this property, great location (can see the water from the balcony), fully equipped kitchen, extremely clean and check in was easy. Was close to Appolo Bay shops and a great central location made it easy to explore the great Ocean road and Otways. Even my pooch loved it. Will definitely be back. Thank you

Fabulous!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is just lovely and in a great, quiet location but within easy walking distance of the shops food and supplies. The teens loved the bedrooms with TV’s (what luxury!). Loved the sea views from the balcony and the wood fire was so cosy for the chilly nights. We really appreciated being able to bring our little dog, he also had an amazing time! Unfortunately the spa was malfunctioning which was disappointing as it was a key feature in our choice of accommodation however the managing agents were very responsive with great communication, they really tried so hard to remedy the problem so they can’t be faulted at all. We would love to return.
