Apollo Bay Accommodation at Colonial Cottages

Apollo Bay Accommodation at Colonial Cottages: 8 fully self contained colonial style cottages.

........just across the road from a beautiful, sandy beach and your very own seal colony.......  

Apollo Bay Colonial Cottages are set on 4 hectares of lanscaped grounds adjacent to beautiful Marengo Beach, 2 kilometres west of Apollo Bay on the magnificent Great Ocean Road 2.5 hours from Melbourne. Marengo Beach is wide & sandy and the water can be crystal clear; lovely for swimming, boogie boarding, exploring the rock pools, fishing and the off shore reef is home to a local seal colony. A local tour guide can take you out in kayaks to get up close and personal with your new neighbours. We are also en route to the famous Shipwreck Coast and its many attractions including the 12 Apostles.

 
 
The cottages are either 2 or 3 bedrooms, are separated by native shrubs and gardens and all have superb views of the coast and Otway Ranges. The bedrooms have queen size beds with electric blankets, doonas and pillows. Quality linen and towels are supplied. Cots, highchairs and baby sitting can be arranged. They feature traditional open fireplaces as well as electric heating, 2-person spa baths, TV, VCR, CD/radio, telephone (local calls), colonial dining settings, full size refrigerators and electric stoves, plus microwave ovens, crockery, cutlery, glassware and cooking utensils – in fact, everything you require for self-catering. Initial supplies of tea, coffee, milk and sugar are supplied. Every cottage has its own laundry with washing machine, tumble dryer, clothesline, and ironing equipment. There is under-cover car parking and space for a boat or trailer. The large open area for recreation includes wood-fired barbecues and picnic tables. Golf, bowls, tennis, hang-gliding and horse riding, are available. An ornamental lake is home to waterfowl and colourful water lilies. Across the bridge near the lake discover abundant native flora and fauna and steps leading to a secret garden.

 

The cottages are close to many waterfalls and rainforest fern gullies in the Otway National Park.
Port Campbell and the Twelve Apostles are a wonderful destination for a day trip - on the way, explore shipwreck sites, sea caves or visit the Cape Otway Lighthouse.
Fishing is great from the rocks, rivers and surf in Apollo Bay, with a safe harbour for launching boats. Magnificent beaches are close by for swimming, surfing, or simply strolling.
Several local restaurants feature menus with locally caught rock lobster. Watch the boats at the harbour unload their catches or visit the local fishermen's co-op and prepare your own.
Just a liitle further afield are the major tourist attractions of the Otway Ranges.
