Alpha Centauri - Harbour and golf course location
Located in one of the most sought after areas in Apollo Bay - between the Fishing harbour and Barham River estuary, and across from the golf course. Alpha Centauri provides the ideal mix of ocean views, walking distance to everywhere, and on a quiet street.
Featuring environmentally considered passive house architectural design by James Goodlet of AlterEco, the house makes the most of the location, views and orientation.
Enter through the glass door and up the timber staircase to the sunlit open plan living, kitchen and dining area. Windows look out onto the ocean at the Barham river mouth, and to the greenery of the golf club. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, microwave, espresso machine, and features a servery opening onto the patio. This North facing suntrap is the perfect spot for breakfast, afternoon reading or happy hour.
Lay on the lounge looking out on the ocean view, or watching the golfers form. A large screen TV enhances movie nights and series bingeing. The large dining table comfortably seats 8 people. Just off the dining area is the office workspace with desk and ergonomic chair, then a powder room tucked behind it.
Downstairs are the two queen bedrooms with shared central bathroom. The bathroom has a large shower, toilet and vanity.
Alpha Centauri has a well considered, passive house design, double glazed windows, concrete flooring, central heating and cooling system throughout. Decorated with striking artworks, the house has a modern nostalgia feel.

Beachside home
A beautiful and bright home with ocean views right out your window and the golf course across the road! Very comfortable furnishings in the living area and comfortable beds downstairs! Would love a pedestal fan or something to help with airflow downstairs! Overall a stunning beachouse to stay at!

Summer getaway
Brilliant location with views over the golf course and beach. A variety of beaches to visit and fantastic fish and chips just down the road
The property was wonderfully located and exceptionally clean.
Close to the beach, golf course and harbour so endless activities for the kids. Close walking distance to the main street shops.
Everything you need and highly recommended.
