- "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. Definitely a place to consider for those staying in Apollo Bay or those thinking of this as abse to travel around the region"

Elegant & stylish beachy villas 100 metres from main Apollo Bay beach and 5 minutes walk from the heart of town. Quiet and very private location for those seeking serenity and a stunning & spacious garden setting brimming with stunning bird life.
Wake early to the sound of the crashing waves and be at the beach in a moment to watch the stunning sunrise!
Beeches villas are nestled amongst beautiful established tranquil gardens. Stretch out on the lush lawn reading a good book and make the most of the unique open space and privacy with spectacular mountain top views. The villas are fully self contained and recently refurbished with high quality furniture and fittings - creating a relaxed, romantic and private feel.
Guests will be supplied with a local map provided by the tourism centre and a guide stipulating house rules. There is minimal interaction with the owner unless the guest instigates contact. Guests are encouraged to call our mobile number should they require any information or assistance.
Beeches is in a fabulous location on the edge of town. It is a quiet property very close to the beach. There is a special sense of space and wonderful views up to Mariners Lookout. It is a 40 minute walk up the mountain but so worth it!!!! You don`t get any of the traffic and pedestrian noise you would get if you were closer in to town. Our favourite spot for coffee/breakfast/lunch/dinner is La Bimba. Located above the bakery up a flight of stairs, La Bimba does everything well! Superb food & great coffee!!!
Check out Hawkeye for stylish clothes & quirky gifts & mementos.
You can walk everywhere from Beeches if you wish. Meander along the ocean to the harbour and watch the fishing boats unload. Or alternatively, venture into town and discover The Bay`s many cafe`s, stylish boutique`s and pubs offering fabulous entertainment and food.
Each villa is given 1 off-street car parking space directly at the front of their villa for easy access and security.
There`s No Fenced Yard.

Set on 18 hectares surrounded by gardens, each villa is positioned to ensure privacy. The open plan bedroom/lounge, kitchen with a wall of full-length windows fronting the ocean, ensures you can take in the amazing views from the bed, kitchen, lounge, or even the spa and shower.

Nespresso coffee is on hand to keep you caffeinated.
The double balcony with your own BBQ and outdoor furniture means you can make the most of the outside space whether cooking a meal or just enjoying some fresh seafood from the local harbour fish shop.
Each villa has its own private balcony and car space. Guests may enjoy the gardens and acreage but are asked to respect the privacy of guests in other villas.
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.

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!
