We were surprised to discover that the house was not located directly in Apollo Bay (if we had read the other reviews more thoroughly we would have known). However, we echo the other reviewers - not being located directly in Apollo Bay but just 10 minutes outside the town in Skenes Creek was absolutely for the best. The beach was untouched, quiet and beautiful, as was the surrounds. The house itself was wonderful, a dream house in design, bright and modern, clean and well equipped. Thank you Bill for providing such a wonderful place to stay.
