Great two-family house

Great house for a beach holiday for two families (and their different pets) with the separate downstairs unit. Gorgeous outlook and views from the main house, abundant birdlife (and a resident koala!), and easy walk to the beach and Great Ocean Road track. House is spacious, comfortable and not too fancy so makes for a very good stay with pets and kids. Lovely wrap around verandah.

A pleasant and relaxing stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this Marengo property. It was roomy and comfortable with heaps to do for the kids. The views of the sea were fantastic and we were minutes from the beach and the Apollo Bay shopping strip. The property was perfect for us (2 families with 8 adults and 4 kids) with ample room. There was even a family of king parrots who came to visit us everyday. Would come back again definitely.

Amazing view and walk to the beach

It was lovely waking up each morning to watch the sunrise over the ocean before walking down to the beach. Kids particularly loved the resident parrots that came to say hello. Bedding was great for a family.

Clean and comfortable house in excellent location

We loved our stay here. The house was clean and very well stocked with all the necessities. The beds were comfortable and the view was lovely. The location was perfect with the Great Ocean Walk at the end of the street. We brought our dog along and he loved the balcony that went all around the house. He also loved the walks. The bird life was lovely too. The separate little unit downstairs was also ideal as my son and his wife stayed for the weekend. We would definitely stay at this property in the future. Thanks.
