We enjoyed our stay in Torquay. It is a beautiful town with wonderful beaches and great ocean walks. It is a good place to stay if you want to enjoy beaches, see coastal rainforest, drive the Great Ocean Road and visit wineries.
The apartment is modern with all the amenities you would want. It is located in a cul-de-sac in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy access by car to restaurants and supermarkets. It is about 1.25 km from the beach, but sits on a hill so you can watch a beautiful sunrise over the ocean and watch freighters sail toward and away from Port Phillip Bay. Out host was responsive to emails and very helpful when we needed information about the apartment. The apartment is clean and pleasant, the bed is comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed the balcony with the great ocean view. If we come to Torquay again we certainly would not hesitate to repeat the stay.
