Easy walk to beach and shops. Not cheap so was appalled we had to bring our own linen and bath soaps.

We were delighted to find a holiday rental at Apollo Bay which had a fully enclosed back garden for our two large Groodles. The garden was safe and secure, and that's why we chose this property.
The kitchen is bursting with crockery and pots & pans and the coffee pod machine works well.
On the negative side, the living space is quite cramped and the bathroom (which looked recently renovated), had almost no horizontal surface to put anything on other than the floor.
The garden is full of birds but many of the plants have been neglected, especially the roses...distressing for a gardener.
You can hear the surf at night and it's a short walk to the beach.
Overall, good value for money and in a good location but he property needs some love.

we were staying after racing the amy Gillett ride. so to relax. the floors were gritty underfoot, as if they had not been cleaned, there was thick fluff under the beds, and someone had left a pair of socks. our dogs went into garden that was overgrow (not like pictures) at the bottom of the garden was all muddy, so not very good for dogs to play. we were very disappointed so left a day early. when taking keys back at 6pm everything was closed at office and we could not get to the box to drop off as gate was locked. so we had to leave in office letter box. in all not a relaxing couple of days we had hoped for.

We loved the location of the house and that we could take our dog.

The house was very comfortable and extremely well equipped. However, the gardens front and back and the unfenced creek next to the driveway require maintenance and safety upgrade.

Just lovely!
We were there for a week and everything we needed was there. A very pretty garden which we adored given we live on the 11th floor of an apartment. Walk to everything. Thank you owners, you deserve a medal ….

great place, tidy and convenient
Great place to spend a week in Apollo Bay, house was tidy and clean. Great back deck and garden.
Only comment would be it could get very hot in there in the Summer, no curtains or blinds in the main rooms and no Air Condtioning.

Short Bay Stay
The property is situated in a good area, within a short walking-distance of the beach and shops. The front garden needs a trim as exiting the driveway is quite challenging.

A home away from home
Such a lovely place to stay, with everything we needed on hand. Comfortable, warm, lovely outlook into the garden where there was plenty of bird life and also glimpses of the ocean which was within earshot too. Just a lovely little oasis. Thankyou!

Clean, close to town
It was an easy walk to the beach and town. The property was good for our needs there were some things we didn’t realise. When it’s the secret garden it sort of is! The house is very sheltered by the garden which makes it private but the trees also stop you getting down the driveway if you have bikes on the roof! It also is very hard to see out the driveway. We found it quite cold, would not like to be there in winter. The backyard seemed very dog proof but our dog did manage to get into the neighbours yard. The garden did just need a good hack back!
It was clean, beds quite comfortable, kitchen well equipped and close to everything, all in all it was pretty good

Walking distance to beach and town
Cute house located walking distance to the beach and town. Beautifully renovated bathroom with great shower. Beds are all firm and comfortable however the photos online for the property should be updated as the bunk beds are not two singles with a third mattress underneath like I brought up sheets for, they’re a double bottom bunk with a single on top and a spare single mattress underneath.
Love that it’s dog friendly, the backyard is spacious and the raised dog bed and dog house was a great touch! Our dog thoroughly enjoyed her stay here.
Kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans and bowls you’d need.
Thank you!!

A petit cosy accomodation but just needs a couple of improvements and it would have been perfect
Nice petit accomodation. Smaller than I thought compared to the image in the website. Clean and Neat. Basics complete especially kitchen essentials. Maybe better to include in the description what’s provided. Our family loves cooking and we brought our basic kitchen spices. And it was all provided for. Downside as everyone’s comments that there’s only 1 toilet which is where the shower and bath is. So if it’s for a group of 6-8 we all had to wait and or wake up early if we plan to shower and prepare for a hike. The land is so massive that they should have thought of building another toilet at least. Bedrooms are nice and cosy. No hangers provided though and the shelves are not for delicate clothings. Small improvements required.

Family friendly.
Nice place. Good amenities. Kitchen and bathroom are great! Smart TV with wifi was also great. Plenty of heating. Great to have laundry facilities too.
Very Close to beach and main strip for a nice sunset stroll. We travelled with 1 year old baby which was all fine.
Could have been slightly cleaner on arrival.
Overall recommended, good value for money.

Good location and nice house
Cute little 3 bedroom house - renovated kitchen and bathroom - very clean with mid century furniture - house has a nice feel about it - kitchen very well stocked (cooks kitchen) and has a large deck and BBQ out the back - 1 block from the beach. Would stay there again - only downside is the solo bathroom
