About this property

Short walk to surf, shops and all the best things Torquay has to offer

TORQUAY RETREAT is a property second to none. Its great location will mean you can throw away the car keys, they won't be needed.

Located only 150m from the surf beach and the front beach, any desire will be satisfied whether it be a day surfing, playing at the beach with the family or going for a stroll around Cosy Corner to watching the wind and kite surfers off this picturesque surf coast.

You have the choice of dining in or going to one of the many cafes and restaurants at your doorstep. Alternatively the Torquay hotel is only a very short stroll away or you can enjoy a BBQ or picnic at the beach.

The Torquay township with it's supermarkets, shops, banks and many other facilities is an easy 5 minute walk away together with the new Torquay Central providing specialty shops to satisfy the shopper in all of us. If that is not enough every type of surf shop including Billabong, Quicksilver and Ripcurl are within walking distance.

For the sporting, there are golf courses and tennis courts close by and Go Ride A Wave just around the corner for those keen to learn how to surf.

Great location and very comfortable
The location is great for access on foot to a variety fabulous beaches, coastal walks and cafes/restaurants. The accommodation was really comfortable with a variety of living/balcony spaces. I recommend a cool drink/cocktail on the front balcony in the late afternoon after day at the beach and before a delicious meal.

We had a great stay at Torquay Retreat. The house was very clean and also well equipped, particularly the kitchen, with everything we needed. We also appreciated the ducted heating and electric blankets over the cold June weekend. The location was excellent, close to the beach, walking path and restaurants. Thanks for a relaxing weekend!

Best street in Torquay
Clean and comfortable and just a short walk to back and front beaches. Choose to eat in with a good range of kitchen amenities or take a short walk to a variety of dining options. There are a range of seating/chatting areas inside and out. Friendly helpful and efficient communication with host.

Everything you could want
In a terrific location, this light-filled and well appointed townhouse was perfect for our holiday with teenage children. We all had our own space but could get together to enjoy a board game or share a meal on the balcony. Walking distance to front & back beaches, restaurants and shops.
