Currently operated as a successful Airbnb, the owners are happy to pass on details upon sale.<\/p>\n

Apollo Bay, a beloved coastal village along the world-famous Great Ocean Road, is surrounded by the breathtaking Otway National Park, making it an ideal base for swimming, surfing, rock pooling, fishing, beach walks or simply curling up with a good book.Liveable, loveable and brimming with retro charm \u2013 whether you’re looking for a seaside retreat, an investment property or a permanent home, this coastal gem is one to inspect.<\/p>\n
