Fabulous stay

We had a wonderful stay, the house had everything we needed. Very comfortable beds. Short walk to the beach which has fabulous rock pools. Hope to go back one day. Only slight gripe was needing to go back to Apollo Bay to drop the key off, a little locked drop box at the house would have been better. All in all though, an excellent stay. Thank you!

Beautiful Skenes Creek

Very nice little beach house in a wonderful part of Skenes Creek, among tall eucalyptus trees bursting with bird life. Cute and comfortable, though we didn’t quite get the hang of the wood fired heater. Beach is an easy walk down the hill, but be aware it is no longer viewable from the deck, as a big new house is being constructed right next door. Online listing didn’t say anything about that so we were initially disappointed.

Disappointing

As soon as we walked in, we noticed ants crawling all over the kitchen and sink. There was so much of dust under the furniture. Hard to believe this place was professionally cleaned between visits.
