Uringa at Skenes Creek

BIG BALCONY AND STUNNING SEA VIEW, 3 BEDROOMS, PET FRIENDLY

Set amongst the Eucalypt trees and overlooking Skene’s Creek Beach, with Kookaburras, Lorikeets and King Parrots as your daily guests, this casual classic beach house is set to impress.

Located 200m from the beach, with only a short 5 minute drive to Apollo Bay, cinema, cafés and restaurants, all with the beach virtually at your door step. Wake up to see the ocean and hear the waves!

A very relaxing and healthy get-away with plenty of things to do, including walking along the beach into Apollo Bay if you're feeling energetic, exploring of the Great Ocean Road, feeding the birds by hand on the deck, bush walking in the nearby Otway National Park, or swimming, surfing and fishing at the Skenes Creek beach or Apollo Bay beach/breakwater. Skenes Creek is also fabulous for children - toddler age can safely frolic in the safety of the shallow waters of the creek which flows into the ocean and teenagers will love the surfing.

Please note although dog friendly, the fencing around property is NOT secure.

The house sleeps 7, is air-conditioned, has a fireplace and TV including Google Chromecast for all your streaming needs.
2 showers - no bath at property.

NO LINEN provided (doonas and pillows are provided but guests will need to provide their own doona covers, sheets, pillow case covers, bath mats, bath/beach towels and hand towels)

Bedding Configuration:
Bedroom 1: 1 x Queen
Bedroom 2: 1 x Double

The house is a relaxed retro-vibe throwback. Nothing fancy but clean and tidy with a cosy feel and all mod-cons you could need. Great view, not unobstructed as it is set back a block from the sea and shrubbery from the house in front partially blocks some of the vista. But lovely all the same. Can certainly hear the waves at night. Wood fire was well stocked, garden was cosy and well maintained - the dog loved it! Very short drive to Apollo Bay.

Hello,The home was very well stocked! The location was fabulous. We are not picky, but it needed to be cleaned better. There was dust (which I get to a certain extent near the ocean) but it had clearly been there a while - there were dusty spiderwebs in corners and windows. The carpet is very dirty. It made it hard to relax. I’m sorry. We’ve given every other place we’ve stayed 5 stars.

For the price plus fees having to bring sheets doona cover bath mat etc was rude. The house is very tired and dated. The ensuite shower doors need replacing and the tiny sink is non functional for an ensuite. Cooking fry pans were disgustingly unclean and the non stick was indeed very sticky. Sliding door to verandah needs fixing as does broken floor tiles. Cushions on chairs are stain ridden the loo paper was not cheap rubbish so that was a plus Water was hot. Birds were lovely and view excellent Amanda did help when I rang about yfi.

This is our second time staying Uringa. Always comfortable, warm and homely. It is a great location with beautiful beach views- the weather was cold but it’s winter and the best time to be at the beach. Doggos loved it as well.

Perfect weekend away on Great Ocean Road

Thankyou Amanda for being an amazingly, accomodating host. We needed a little get away right by the water and this did not disappoint. Allowing us to check in earlier, this was the perfect, homely batch, with everything you need! Walking distance to the most beautiful little bay. Kids absolutely loved feeding the local Cockatoos that they brought back their entire family for food lol Highly recommended to all at a great price and location! We will be back xx
