    We loved the location as it was quiet with a country feel. The pool was brilliant & we we’re a short drive away from all the biz

    The host was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, we walked in to a very nice and very clean guest house with little homey touches like a bottle of champagne and snaks for the kids. Sarah was responsive and answered all questions promptly...

Our country escape is perfect for people who enjoy all Torquay has to offer while also enjoying a country setting away from the crowds. With all the comforts of home, it is a cosy space for a romantic weekend away or a mini-break with the family. The accommodation is a gorgeous two-bedroom guesthouse, which features modern open plan living design, providing ample space for the family to gather. There is one loft-style bedroom with a queen bed and a built in wardrobe and a separate bedroom with a double and single bed. Both bedrooms have quality mattresses and linen. All bedding and towels are provided. A high chair, porta cot (with linen) and baby bath can be provided on request. The bathroom has a good sized shower and the room is spacious. You'll find a well-equipped kitchenette supplied with pots and pans, gas hotplates, a full size fridge with freezer and a microwave. We have a split system air conditioner to make your stay comfortable whatever the weather. Outside there is a gas BBQ and outdoor area with table and chairs. The other outdoor spaces are shared and you are welcome to join us in using the landscaped swimming pool and spa and children's playground.
Our country escape is a recently renovated semi-detached two-bedroom space located within the quiet, bushland properties of Torquay North. Surround yourself with native bushland, fresh country air, and choose to either relax with all the creature comforts you need to feel completely at home or explore the Great Ocean Road and all it has to offer. Please note that the property is a 10 minute drive from Torquay town centre and the beach, we consider this a feature, but you may prefer to be closer to the town centre!
