About this property

Beach Family Apartment "La Mer"- 2 minutes walk to main beach entrance and store


If traffic jams, crowded beaches, noisy crowds, back-to-back shops and parking meters are your idea of a getaway… then La Mer is not for you.

Coronet Bay offers something far rarer — peace, space, and a genuine escape from the pressure of city life. Read our visitor reviews, and you will quickly see why guests fall in love with the calm, the simplicity, and the slower pace.

Arrive, unpack, and instantly unwind in the French-inspired charm of **“La Mer”**, where all linen and towels are supplied and the home is fully equipped for a relaxed, effortless stay. Experience this modern coastal retreat at beautiful Coronet Bay, just 80 minutes from Melbourne.

**“La Mer” (French for *The Sea*)** is perfectly positioned in one of Coronet Bay’s most sought-after locations on Champ Elysees Esplanade — only 150 metres from one of the safest swimming beaches in Australia.

The property features **three bedrooms**:
• Main bedroom with a queen bed
• Second bedroom with two single beds
• Third bedroom with a bunk bed (double on the bottom, single on top)

Comfortably accommodating up to **seven guests** — and yes, **sheets and towels are included in the price**.

Located on the ground floor, the property offers **excellent wheelchair access**, making it suitable for guests of all ages and needs.

“La Mer” is ideal for couples or families seeking a true coastal escape without complication. Spend your days at the beach, exploring the Gippsland region, or discovering nearby attractions — then return to relax in the spa, read a book, share time with loved ones, or enjoy a quiet evening together. Fishing enthusiasts will also appreciate the nearby boat-launching facilities at Corinella.

This is a **hidden coastal gem** — enjoy the energy of Phillip Island during the day, then retreat to the serenity of Coronet Bay, just 15 minutes away.

The location is unbeatable: **150 metres** from Coronet Bay’s main beach, barbeques, general store and bus stop.

Coronet Bay is one of Victoria’s best-kept secrets. Visitors often say they cannot wait to return. Just a one-and-a-half-hour drive from Melbourne, it sits peacefully between Grantville and San Remo, and only minutes from Phillip Island.

The beach is exceptionally safe and family-friendly, featuring barbeques, a children’s playground, BMX track, local bus service and community centre.

The local store — only **80 metres from La Mer** — is open daily and stocked with everything a holidaymaker needs, including liquor, DVD hire, basic groceries and great coffee.

There is also plenty to explore nearby, with Bass Coast wineries, cheese factories and venison farms all within easy reach.

**La Mer at Coronet Bay — arrive relaxed, leave refreshed, and start planning your return before you even go.**

Enjoyable stay

Well appointed and best living area design of all holiday stays we have enjoyed over many years. Owners easy to contact and went above and beyond when weather issues out of their control impacted our arrival. Always felt able to relax and enjoy the many little luxuries this accommodation affords.

Great holiday house

Le Mer was the perfect place for our little family to stay while we were attending the Moto GP on Phillip Island! Its in a great quiet location in Coronet Bay with the local store just a stones throw away. The house had everything we needed and more, it was clean and very homely. Will definitely stay again if we ever come back!

Great location

Really enjoyed our stay. Location was great so close to the quiet beach. Apartment was well equipped with everything we needed such a fans in each room, comfy beds and plenty of storage. Quiet location and across the road is the general store with a variety of takeaway and supermarket items. Would definately stay again. Only negative was the electric stove that took way too long to heat up.

Great place to stay near the beach

We found this property to be neat and tidy. Everything was well organised and some basic cooking and bathroom essentials were provided. The space was big enough for our family of 5 and there was a good selection of board games and dvds for entertainment. Our favourite part was how close the house is located to the beach, which we visited everyday. We had some great swimming weather but even on cooler days it was so easy to pop back home if we didn’t want to stay long. Our stay was over New Year’s Eve and we went to the local NYE event that was put on by the community which was just a 2 minute walk away. It was very family friendly with live music, food trucks and amazing fireworks on the beach. Well worth it if you are in the area during this time. We would definitely recommend this property to others.

A haven - steps from a serene beach and within easy reach of Phillip Island

We truly enjoyed relaxing at La Mer which is well-equipped and located so close to a general store, playground and beautiful, calm beach (perfect for little ones). Phillip Island and its many family-friendly attractions are within easy reach by car. Coles delivers to this property, so we arranged for all our essentials to arrive at the door soon after we arrived, ready to start chilling out. Plenty of storage space including coat hangers. Everything has been thought of. Great communication by hosts. Highly recommended.

A gorgeous slice of heaven

It was just beautiful. We went for a holiday with the option of a beach and the plan was to do not much. That is exactly what we got. It was a gorgeous home away from home. Nick and Mercine are lovely people who own the place. Even put up with our slighty loud and possibly roudy footy spectating! It was perfect! Exactly the holiday we were looking for. Thanks Nick and Mercine. We will see you again!

Spotless property. Utensils galore. Games. Space.

Comfortable beds. Spotlessly clean inside. Peaceful spot. Rear deck and umbrella. BBq. Many cooking utensils. Supplied oil and other thoughtful items including 1l milk which was not expected. Also has pod coffee machine and pods. Furniture is very nice and comfortable. Very Spacious for two adults and 2 kids and fine for 4 adults and 2-3 kids also.

A stay at La Mer

A most beautiful tranquil setting, a very comfortable and pleasant environment. We felt right at home immediately, with the apartment having everything we needed. The decor is restful, the setting so close to the bay, there was nothing extra we needed. Nick & Mersine have thought of everything & were very easy to communicate with, no complications, just friendly & welcoming. Thanks for a really great getaway!
