About this property
*Relax and unwind - ocean views, pet-friendly, walk to the beach, unlimited wifi
Beautiful architecturally designed, split-level beach house overlooking Skenes Creek beach on the spectacular Great Ocean Road.
With ocean views from the house you can watch the waves break on the beach from inside or from the large deck wrapping around the living area. Watch Mother Nature at her finest from sunrise to sunset. Feed visiting king parrots and rosellas, watch surfers take to the waves and ships pass on the horizon.
Skenes Creek beach is a popular swimming, surfing and fishing beach only 5kms from Apollo Bay and a short drive to town and the local shops, supermarket and restaurants.
This much loved family beach house accommodates up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms and with 2 bathrooms including master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe.
2 x Queen bedded rooms
1 x Twin Single bedded room
Main bathroom has shower over bath and separate toilet. Ensuite has walk-in shower.
A large open-plan lounge and dining area adjoins the well-appointed kitchen, all with ocean views. Outdoor dining table and a barbecue give you the option to dine alfresco on sunny days and warm evenings or in Winter you can light the Aga stove and enjoy a cosy night in with the smell of wood smoke in the air.
The kitchen has all of the necessary amenities including microwave, pod coffee machine, blender, wall over, gas hotplates, dishwasher and is well equipped for cooking, baking and entertaining.
A laundry with large washing machine adjoins the kitchen.
Well stocked with digital TV, Netflix, DVDs, books, magazines and board games the house is the perfect setting for unwinding with family and friends. High speed WIFI also makes working from home a breeze, stay longer than a weekend and bring your laptop with you to have the ultimate office with a view!
