Marengo Views | 180° Clifftop Ocean Retreat

Wake to waves, watch seals on the reef, and walk to the Great Ocean Walk in minutes.

Perched above the Marengo Reef Marine Sanctuary just outside Apollo Bay, Marengo Views is a spacious, light-filled coastal retreat designed around its uninterrupted Southern Ocean outlook. The main living, dining, kitchen, deck, and master bedroom all face the ocean — creating a constant connection to the coastline.

Sleeping up to 8 guests across 3 bedrooms with a separate upstairs family retreat, the home is ideal for families, couples travelling together, remote workers, or longer coastal stays.
