Well equipped house but beds are terrible

Our overall stay was very disappointing. We stayed for 5 nights in March. The beds where so uncomfortable that we all ended up with bad backs and my husband ended up sleeping on the couch. The cleaning was not great and there was water damage on walls. We could hardly see out of the windows as they where full of dirt. On a positive note the place was very close to ocean and we had some nice walks there.

Watching Fireworks across the water from the balcony

Great setup in a great spot; view of the ocean and Apollo Bay was terrific! Even had a growling koala wandering past the bedroom in the middle of the night!

Perfection

The property was exactly as shown in the listing. The view was spectacular, all amenities were functional and of a good standard. With two young children under 8, having a space where they could have fun and not have to be quiet was fantastic as there was a descent distance between us and the neighbors. Plenty of space, beds were comfy, and the place felt like home. We will definitely be staying again.

Beautiful getaway

This place is in an amazing location with wonderful views of the ocean. It ticks all the boxes! A relaxing spa bath while watching the sunset was an added bonus as well as a warm fire for the cold evenings.

GREAT LOCATION

Great location, close to Apollo Bay but not too close. Easy access to main road, but away from traffic noise. Still able to hear the surf rolling in at night. Good facilities in accommodation, adequate heating and plenty of hot water.

Awesome view of the ocean

The house offers a clear view of the ocean that more than offsets any minor discomfort that we felt. It is 5 minute drive away from Apollo Bay where amenities are. Walking distance to the beach is a great boost -- we can get wet and sandy and walk home. There is only 1 aircon on level 2 living room that can stream down the bedrooms on level 1. Each bedroom has a electric cool heater that works very well. It is a good base to explore anything within 2 hours radius, including 12 Apostles, nearby bays and forests. Driving back to the city would take 3 hours about, so avoid ending the trip here and mad rush to the airport -- its tiring. Surely an awesome place to be.

Disappointed

I am so disappointed at the cleanliness of skenes beach house. We booked this place for our anniversary but regret it so much as the place was covered in cob webs and spiders, it was impossible to sleep on the beds due to spiders and webs under the bed so we had to sleep on the sofa bed with our 2 children. We paid $300 a night and I would've expected it to be well looked after! half our day went on buying Mortein from the shops and then vacuuming the house & the edges of the walls as the entire house was filled with spiders. The views and location of this place was probably the best part of our stay apart from that I don't recommend this place to anyone unless you don't mind sleeping with spiders!

Skenes Beach

Lovely comfortable,modern, clean holiday home. Thank you for the Welcome Wine - a nice touch. The beds were really comfortable and it was great to be able to wash and dry clothes efficiently. Unfortunately the oven wasn't working . The light and fan were on but no heat, which at the time made me a bit cross because I had a casserole ready to bake.

Beautiful stay

We spent last weekend at the beautiful skenes beach house and we were more than impressed. Great location with spectacular beach views from the deck and living area. Just a short stroll to the beach which is pristine and peaceful. Accommodation was great with very comfy beds downstairs and everything you could ask for to make our stay very comfortable. Very clean throughout and modern. We will be back and recommend highly
