Great location with excellent ocean views from both the main bedroom and living area. Just a short drive into Apollo Bay and a very short walk to the beach at Skenes Creek. Highly recommend

Uringa is a secluded traditional beach home with beautiful views of the bay and surf. The garden at Uringa is home to abundant birdlife; Cockatoos, King parrots and Crimson rosellas are regular visitors and Blue Wrens and New Holland Honeyeaters flit around the bushes. Skenes Creek is a 6 minute drive to Apollo Bay with shops and restaurants and gentler swimming beaches. Uringa is highly recommended as a place to relax and unwind.

Strategic location, amazing ocean view, serene and green surrounding, only 5 minutes drive from Apollo Bay town centre, and just a short stroll to the beach. The house sleeps 7 people, the fireplace is bonus, the only thing would be the cleanliness needs improvement and the property can benefit from a little maintenance. Overall we had a great time.

Great little old 60s shack with excellent view of Skenes Creek waves from balcony and open plan living areas. Perfect for a weekend getaway with our dog, who enjoyed the enclosed rear yard. Other than the exceptional views we really loved the hot shower, coonara wood fire, comfy beds, old style feel and location.

We had a lovely time staying here. The house is older but was clean and set up very well with everything we needed. We loved the view from inside and out, and listening to the waves was lovely. Being pet friendly meant we could bring our dog and she had a great time on the nearby beaches. We would happily stay here again.
