Uringa at Skenes Creek

BIG BALCONY AND STUNNING SEA VIEW, 3 BEDROOMS, PET FRIENDLY
2 NIGHT MINIMUM (NO 1 NIGHT BOOKINGS PLEASE)

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)

Great location!
House was literally 100 metres from the beach and balcony had gorgeous view. Had everything we needed for a great stay! A classic beach shack type stay. Apollo bay was a short drive away to morning coffees and heaps to do in the area. We were there for a very hot weekend and the air con was a treat! We also had our dog stay which was really appreciated!

What a perfect getaway, magnificent views and you could hear the waves crashing in the beach below. We and our 90kg mastiff thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Would also be great in winter with the coronary style heater.
