Just a minute or two walk to Separation Creek beach, this cute little cottage is a perfect escape for you and your four-legged friends. Surrounded by lush well-established gardens the home includes a 2-bedroom cottage and separately accessed studio, all under the same roofline. Absolutely perfect for inviting friends or relatives who prefer their own space, The Beach Cottage also features a spacious rear yard with covered decking and ocean glimpses. The main living is cosy with a wood fireplace, comfy lounges, and TV. Two bedrooms and main bathroom flank the living to the rear. The studio has its own en suite, kitchenette and separate side balcony. The yard is fully fenced, with a lawn area and is perfect for most pets.

The property was perfect for us. It’s right in the middle of things, but far away from the crowds, with a beautiful beach just down the road and a delightful walk to the Wye River general store and hotel. The house is perfectly appointed and very comfortable and the King Parrots also came to visit, which was very special. ##### Georgina S. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica F. 5 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet spot Lovely comfortable home with such a flexible well designed outside area. Our elderly blind dog even figured out the ramp, and had a wonderful time gambolling on the lawn. It’s a great treat to be in a small residential cove with no businesses at all, just the sound of the sea and the birds. Thank you! ##### Jessica F. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean S. 18 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy and Nice Great property sitting in a brilliant location. Seated in between Lorne and Apollo Bay and with a 10 minute walk to the beach it is the ideal location to break journey and relax. The 3 bedrooms home has a cozy garden and is well fenced off for your fur babies. Plenty of wood is supplied by the owners which will let you keep the home nice and warm during the colder nights. The one thing to look out for is, like all home in the area, water needs to be used sparingly. Also, it is good to note that the closest grocery store (Foodworks & IGA) is either in Lorne or Apollo Bay. ##### Sean S.
