We had a great weekend away staying in Skenes Creek at Fisheye9. It's totally self contained with everything that you could need. The house is modern and cosy. It's nestled in amongst light bush, but also right opposite the beach, so it's a great spot if you want to enjoy the attractions of both the Great Ocean Road and the Otway Ranges. And Apollo Bay is only 5 min drive away.
We only said 'Hi' to Tanja over the fence - even though they are next door, you wouldn't know it - we had total privacy and the place felt like it was all ours for the weekend. That said, all Tanja's prompt and friendly communication suggests they would have been more than happy to help had we needed it.
Highly recommended.
