We had a really enjoyable time at Coleridge. It has beautiful sweeping views and you can hear the ocean waves at night as it is so close to the water. The location is very convenient to the shops (and the fresh fish market!) but far enough away to be a relaxed holiday. The living space is very homey and welcoming with plenty of throws and comfortable pillows for lounging. It was very clean (the floors were freshly mopped when we arrived.) There were more cooking items available in the kitchen than we expected from the description, such as a cabinet full of spices, oil and vinegar. It had all the regular appliances you would expect and an excellent kitchen drawer full of tongs, large mixing spoons and a big block of knives.
The only issue we had was when the fire alarm began chirping from a low battery early one morning, but we called the property management when they opened and it was taken care of within the hour. They were very responsive. They will probably need to repair/build a new deck at some point as some of the boards are starting to pull up in places. We really enjoyed the bird life (mainly king parrots and rosellas) that wandered the deck railings every day. We were also lucky enough to hear a koala growling in the bushes behind the house one evening. He was sitting in a tree right in front of the house the next morning to our delight. Would definitely recommend this place if you want to stay in Apollo Bay.
