What a great weekend

Beautifully appointed cozy cottage, ideally setup amd located for a couple with a pet, we had our dog with us who enjoyed her stay immensely. With the beach only a few minutes walk away, it really couldn’t have been better.

Perfect little getaway - even on a rainy weekend

This property was perfect for our little weekend getaway without her baby. The fences were very strong and adequate for our larger dog. Very graciously, Jane had a box of toys and bowls and towels for satisfying all the cleanliness and care. We absolutely loved the extra sized shower, and the bed was extremely comfortable.

Beautiful home right near the beach

You can hear the noise of the waves as it’s one house back from the ocean. The locals are friendly and the house has anything you need. The yard was nice for my dog and the area was quiet.

Perfect for a couple and two well behaved Dogs

Perfect for our stay in Apollo Bay. Central to the town and so close to the beach. Our 2 dogs loved their twice a day beach walks and swims.Perfect time to visit in start of Winter when beach is dog friendly. So much to see in the Otways, or just stay at Janes and play Scrabble and munch on the so many local delights. Absolutely no need to cook, except make cuppas, sip some Wine and relax. A beautiful June experience.

Beach holiday

Fantastic location close to everything. Our dogs enjoyed the trip as much as we did. We loved that we could hear the ocean during the night (with the window slightly open). Thanks to Jane for an easy and pleasant stay.

Welcoming and wonderful

Fantastic property with an awesome host. Loki and Willa loved the property and we were confident that out two goldies were secure and safe. Great location so close to the beach and shops. Apollo Bay is very dog friendly and Jane is very caring and wants two and four legged guests to enjoy their stay. We will be back!

Loved Seamist!

We absolutely loved our stay at Seamist. It was a perfect little home for my mum and I and our toy poodle for our short stay. Very dog friendly yard, our toy poodle loved running around. We loved that everything was very close and just a walk away. Seamist had everything we needed, was very clean and welcoming. The home owner had great communication and even left us and our dog some treats upon arrival! We plan to return next year! Thank you so much for accepting our request to stay at Seamist.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Buckingham

I live in Apollo Bay with my husband and children. We live, work and go to school in our town and greatly support and get involved in our local community.

Why they chose this property

Apollo Bay is a wonderful place to live and to visit and we are happy to own a cottage that we can use as holiday accommodation. It's location appealed to us as it is very central in the township.

In addition to all the other reasons to stay, as the host I can assure you that I clean the cottage to a high standard.
All sheets and towels are laundered by a professional laundry service so are washed at high temperatures.
Duvet covers and tea towels are home laundered separately at high temperatures.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is central to Apollo Bay with just 2 minutes to the shops and beach. Guests can leave their car at the cottage and explore the township and the beach on foot.
Dogs are welcome to stay with prior notification and the secure yard is ideal for them.
