Brilliant seaside stay for three families
Lorna was a terrific host at the sandcastle property. The house was an amazing place for a short school holiday get away, walking distance to beach and shops. We’ll be back, for sure.

Great roomy beach house
The Sandcastle is a lovely 6 bedroom house with everything you could need. We walked to the beach every morning with our dog & enjoyed seeing the resident koala in the garden. The house is clean & comfortable & host Lorna very welcoming & helpful. We hope to be back next year.

Family beach weekend
Great house in perfect location. Lots of space for our big family. We needed a bit of help, so a book with info about how appliances etc. work would have been useful.

The most wonderful stay at Apollo Bay
We had an absolute ball in this gorgeous house. It was ample space for our group of 12, and Lorna made us feel so welcome. It was close to the beach, had a huge family room perfect for Christmas lunch, and all the amenities we could think of for a fun summer holiday. Highly highly recommend. We’ll definitely be back!
