Absolutely perfect! This was our first time here and everything was exactly as shown in the listing, only bigger and more beautiful - especially the views. Sam is an energetic, warm and welcoming host - we had a group of around 30 guests including kids and we absolutely loved it here. The place is older and has a great history, all of which adds to its charm - yet everything was very clean and well presented. The living area is enormous and is so wonderful for communal cooking, dining and dancing! And the kids loved playing pool and table tennis in the adjoining sunroom. The beach across the road had amazing rock pools and a sandy swimming area about 100 metres down, and the growing fame of the nearby Carisbrook stone cairns and the waterfall walk were spectacular. We also used the 2 self-contained cottages which are fully and tastefully renovated with great amenities and character. And Apollo Bay is exactly a 15 minute drive away so it's close enough for shopping etc, but just far enough away so we could enjoy our seclusion. Every person in our group, which has been coming to Apollo Bay for 20+ years now, agreed that this was the best place we have chosen to date. Can't wait to see you next year Sam!
