We were unfortunately disappointed with our stay. The house smells terribly of smoke.. Upstairs was the worst. Everything we brought home stinks! Even after washing. We contacted the real estate about the air quality and the black out, their responses were not overly helpful. Basically saying that the black out was out of their hands and we should use the split system instead of the wood fire.
The black out lasted 2 hours, which we understand is out of their hands. However there were no torches or candles etc. in the house and we couldn't use the wood fire because it smoked the house out (even more then it already was).
In saying all of that, the view was beautiful, we did lots of day trips to the beach, waterfalls and walks. Apollo Bay is a beautiful spot.
