Our stay at the Bay House was absolutely incredible. Isla's communication was fantastic so we could coordinate check in despite us being behind schedule (as can happen when hiking on great ocean road). Great location, just minutes from the main drag of Apollo Bay. Honestly, the pictures don't do this place justice. It is one of the most gorgeous properties I've ever stayed in with absolutely outstanding views. The bed was comfy, the fire place was toasty warm, and the kitchen/amenities were very well appointed with amazing attention to detail (high quality linens/towels/hand soaps etc). The grounds are beautiful, we saw wallabies, a koala, and of course Isla's gorgeous highland cows. We sat in front of the fireplace, with the windows open, hearing the sound of the waves crashing and many kookaburra's laughing away. It was serene. We have already decided that a stay at the Bay House will be at least an annual (maybe 6 monthly?) tradition for us. Thanks again Isla and John and we hope to see you again very soon! :)
