Uringa at Skenes Creek

BIG BALCONY AND STUNNING SEA VIEW, 3 BEDROOMS, PET FRIENDLY

Set amongst the Eucalypt trees and overlooking Skene’s Creek Beach, with Kookaburras, Lorikeets and King Parrots as your daily guests, this casual classic beach house is set to impress.

Located 200m from the beach, with only a short 5 minute drive to Apollo Bay, cinema, cafés and restaurants, all with the beach virtually at your door step. Wake up to see the ocean and hear the waves!

A very relaxing and healthy get-away with plenty of things to do, including walking along the beach into Apollo Bay if you're feeling energetic, exploring of the Great Ocean Road, feeding the birds by hand on the deck, bush walking in the nearby Otway National Park, or swimming, surfing and fishing at the Skenes Creek beach or Apollo Bay beach/breakwater. Skenes Creek is also fabulous for children - toddler age can safely frolic in the safety of the shallow waters of the creek which flows into the ocean and teenagers will love the surfing.

Please note although dog friendly, the fencing around property is NOT secure.

The house sleeps 7, is air-conditioned, has a fireplace and TV including Google Chromecast for all your streaming needs.
2 showers - no bath at property.

NO LINEN provided (doonas and pillows are provided but guests will need to provide their own doona covers, sheets, pillow case covers, bath mats, bath/beach towels and hand towels)

Bedding Configuration:
Bedroom 1: 1 x Queen
Bedroom 2: 1 x Double
Bedroom 3: 1 x Single Bunk with trundle (3 x singles)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The house is a relaxed retro-vibe throwback. Nothing fancy but clean and tidy with a cosy feel and all mod-cons you could need. Great view, not unobstructed as it is set back a block from the sea and shrubbery from the house in front partially blocks some of the vista. But lovely all the same. Can certainly hear the waves at night. Wood fire was well stocked, garden was cosy and well maintained - the dog loved it! Very short drive to Apollo Bay.

Hello,The home was very well stocked! The location was fabulous. We are not picky, but it needed to be cleaned better. There was dust (which I get to a certain extent near the ocean) but it had clearly been there a while - there were dusty spiderwebs in corners and windows. The carpet is very dirty. It made it hard to relax. I’m sorry. We’ve given every other place we’ve stayed 5 stars.
