Amaaaazing!
Stunning location. Immaculately clean. Able to charge our electric car was an absolute plus and a must considering the local charger was out of order. The view?! Incredible. Comfy sofa with a gorgeous fireplace listening to the sound of the waves. Heaven. The goodies given were a bonus: free range eggs, bread, fruit m, muesli, chocolate, sparkling wine all delish and very much appreciated. Spotlessly clean. Private. Wished we could have stayed longer.

Absolutely loved the place, and so did the kids . Spacious yet cosy, very well maintained, amply stocked to do your own cooking and washing, beachfront and 2mins to the beach. Having the Koala sanctuary with the 2 "resident" koalas for the kids to spot everyday was brilliant. Lili was always responsive and accommodating, and by chance meeting her in person, checking in with us to make sure we were OK was so nice. Left this place with a heavy heart (the entire family) but with so many memories and photos to bring with us. Will definitely come back to stay. Stayed 5D4N and wished i could have stayed longer. Definitely a place to consider for those staying in Apollo Bay or those thinking of this as abse to travel around the region

First it was a little hot when I got there and turn on the air with the fan on high. In one hour it did not change the temp at all. I checked the vent and a little cool air was coming out with it on high. Bugs every where!!! Even woke up in the morning with a very big spider. There are ways to stop the bugs. I was ex sighted about the tub hmm but there was a black hair in there and a worm. I cleaned it out and 1/3 of the jets did not work and the ones that did had no power at all. I tried to open the door where the tub was but it was dragging on the bottom and would not open. I needed a very good cleaning. I went into the bathroom and there was water outside the shower like someone just was taking a shower. The only thing was good was the lady I called was very lovely.

Our stay was just fine .
I have a query why is the check-in time is at 3pm and checkout at 11am, it's not even 24hrs and in the complementary things list you kept in the villa mentioned chocolate and it's was not there Either you don't mention it or you give it.
All-in-all it was an unpleasant experience and over price place to be at.
