Beautiful! I can't speak highly enough of my experience here. There's something very special about this place. It has a small, tranquil, 'resort' feel, and the open views and sound of the ocean were stunning...every minute felt like a holiday, even just standing at the window or balcony, staring out over the water. I loved walking around the gorgeous gardens and hills on the property. This all added value to my time away, as opposed to staying in a suburban house in a back street, where you don't have the holiday feel until you go into the main street or go to the beach. Some people prefer that type of stay, but it is something to consider, especially for shorter holidays or when the weather is so-so. Also, the rustic, colourful decor really added to the beach resort vibe.
I recommend the Balcony Room for couples or singles wanting to get away from it all and have a romantic or escapist getaway while being able to zip into Apollo Bay for trips. I stayed five days and only left Petticoat Creek twice! The beach is stunning, there's plenty of walks to take. Even standing over the BBQ (with a wine and the best view) was my preferred dinner.
I can't wait to return to this magical place. Thanks so much to Ebony, Lesley and Mike for a fabulous stay!
