- "Good sea view " - "Wow! What a place. So serene, amazing views, and so peaceful. Highly recommend it. " - "Absolutely loved the place, and so did the kids . Spacious yet cosy, very well maintained, amply stocked to do your own cooking and washing, beachfront and 2mins to the beach. Having the Koala sanctuary with the 2 "resident" koalas for the kids to spot everyday was brilliant. Lili was always responsive and accommodating, and by chance meeting her in person, checking in with us to make sure we were OK was so nice. Left this place with a heavy heart (the entire family) but with so many memories and photos to bring with us. Will definitely come back to stay. Stayed 5D4N and wished i could have stayed longer.

Attention to detail is a priority at our villas with those little extra touches that make our villas special - fluffy robes and bath sheets, bubble bath, hairdryer, books, games, ready for your arrival,

Lisa is available to assist guests, and on-call 24 hrs in case of an emergency.

Point of View Villas is ideally suited to a few days exploring the Great Ocean Road. Apollo Bay has some of the best beaches along the coast and in the world. You can learn to surf, take a fishing trip, kayak out to the seal colony or just stroll along the beach. In winter whales can be seen frolicking in the bay.

The town also features some great restaurants, with views of the beach so you can enjoy a coffee or a seafood meal at your leisure. World-renowned, Chris's Beacon Point Restaurant is first class for food and views. Don't miss Dooley's award-winning ice cream in town for a treat.
We also recommend some of our talented local therapists for some relaxing massage therapy.

In the hinterland, there are abundant waterfalls and walks. The Otway Fly Treetop Walk and Triplet Falls are 2 of our favourites. We also recommend where to see koalas in the wild. A visit to the historic Cape Otway Lighthouse and a swim or beachcombing at secluded Blanket Bay are also high on our list of recommendations.
Oh, and of course don't miss the world-renowned Californian Redwood Forest.

50 mins along the scenic Great Ocean Road are the 12 Apostles which make for a great day exploring the many coves and stunning Bass Strait scenery. A helicopter flight along the coast is an extravagance, but worth it.

Point of View Villas are 1.5 km from the Great Ocean Road. The best travel option to Apollo Bay is by car to enable you to make the most of the surrounding areas. Alternatively, the bus arrives and departs along the coast twice a day for Melbourne. There is also a local taxi service.

Point of View is the ideal location for a honeymoon, romantic getaway or just a few days exploring the Great Ocean Road. Each day is a new experience at Point of View with stunning rainbows, picturesque storm fronts, soaring eagles, king parrots, kookaburras, and wrens galore, the occasional wallaby, the sparkling blue ocean, glistening moon rise over the water, or the twinkling lights of Apollo Bay. Magical!
