Beautiful architecturally designed, split-level beach house overlooking Skenes Creek beach on the spectacular Great Ocean Road.

With ocean views from the house you can watch the waves break on the beach from inside or from the large deck wrapping around the living area. Watch Mother Nature at her finest from sunrise to sunset. Feed visiting king parrots and rosellas, watch surfers take to the waves and ships pass on the horizon.

Skenes Creek beach is a popular swimming, surfing and fishing beach only 5kms from Apollo Bay and a short drive to town and the local shops, supermarket and restaurants.

A large open-plan lounge and dining area adjoins the well-appointed kitchen, all with ocean views. Outdoor dining table and a barbecue give you the option to dine alfresco on sunny days and warm evenings or in Winter you can light the Aga stove and enjoy a cosy night in with the smell of wood smoke in the air.
