Our family had such a wonderful (and much needed!) long weekend at Sharee’s beautiful house. The upside to Covid is holidaying in your own State and discovering beautiful places like Skene’s Creek! The view from the house is as gorgeous as the photos indicate and the log fire was mesmerising (with plenty of wood provided).
Having no wifi provided us with a real opportunity to connect with our kids in an old school way.... we brought a few board games but discovered Sharee also had some as well as a variety of DVDs. We went to the op shop in Apollo Bay and bought a DVD (The Bourne Supremacy) to add to the collection ☺️
Being able to bring our two Golden Retrievers was fantastic (thanks Sharee) and they thoroughly enjoyed their long walks and swims at the beach. For any other dog owners, Apollo Bay is a very friendly dog town! Make sure you check out the Great Ocean Road Brewery Tasting Room which is dog-friendly and a great place to sample local beer, cider & wines as well as enjoy a platter of locally produced cheeses, dips, bread, olive oil etc. All the dogs have their photo taken and are added to the Wall of Fame! We also had dinner one night in the Great Ocean Road Brewery beer garden.... dogs go out to the beer garden via the inside of the pub 😆 The beer garden is heated, the food was delicious and due to us being engrossed in the middle of an intense game of Uno, we failed to notice that one of our Golden Retrievers had quietly wandered off. When we realised and looked up, she had moved to a table of 10 and was loving all the pats she was getting 🤣 There were approx 8 dogs in the beer garden and they were all so calm / good!
We’d highly recommend Sharee’s place to anyone looking at taking a trip down the Great Ocean Road. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your little slice of paradise.
