The Apollo Bay Guest House - la maison de la mer (the house of the sea) - is a unique property, situated on the waters edge on the Great Ocean Road.

"We invite you to relax and pamper yourself as you listen to the sound of the waves gently roll in to greet you. Enjoy the refinement and charm of this french influenced residence, nestled in the peaceful surrounds of the Barham River where it meets the Southern Ocean."

Property Description:
Few homes along the Great Ocean Road have the distinction of being located on the waters edge with the famous Road at their back. Here the Barham River offers a tranquil foreground waterway with a low sand bar the only thing between it and the beautiful sand and surf of Mounts Bay.

A startling vision in white, this newly opened guesthouse is characterised by sophistication and exclusivity. The building is something of a seaside manor with a classic presence that is complemented by formal landscaping around a central fountain. Night lighting creates yet another compelling scene in the courtyard.

There are two ensuite bedrooms in the main house. Both have french doors to the sun deck overlooking the ocean and river. All guests have access to the main living rooms in the centre of the house. The lounge has an open fireplace and views to the ocean, and the Sunroom, where breakfast is served, also has an open fireplace and views of the north garden.

The interiors are furnished with exquisite antiques and lavish architectural detail. Ornate cornices, chandeliers, marble, leadlight and timber panelling have all been incorporated in the luxurious design. Slightly more rustic is the provincial style, one-bedroom studio which faces the fountain courtyard. Its upstairs bedroom has a stunning view of the ocean and beach.

Special Features:
Special features that guests can look forward to include; champagne on arrival, extended breakfast hours, afternoon tea, on-premise liquor licence, late check out and on site massage (by appointment).
