Beautiful Home in Apollo Bay

The home was spotlessly clean, comfy beds, well fitted out and in a great position - far enough to be away from the craziness but close enough to walk to shops and restaurants.

The property itself was awesome. We had an awesome stay with our family and were sad to leave the house behind. It was clean, had beautiful little extras around and a nice bottle of champagne in the fridge as a welcome! Thank you! Only feedback would be I had issues with the company regarding hiring linen and trying to get hold of them prior to booking and once booked. It ended up being over $200 to hire linen which I thought was beyond reasonable. In the end we brought our own but not what you’d expect when already paying a premium cost for a holiday house.

Immaculate

Lovely property. Very clean and everything feels quite new. Kitchen well stocked with cookware and essentials. Secure yard for the dog. Lock up garage for the bikes. Easy walk to the beach and in to town. Rooms are not overly spacious, but overall a very comfortable stay.
