Clifftop 180° Ocean Views | Great Ocean Road | Sleeps 8 | Family Retreat | House in Marengo
3 Bedroom House in Marengo
Wake to waves. Watch seals on the reef. Step onto the Great Ocean Walk in minutes.
Marengo Views is a spacious, light-filled clifftop home just outside Apollo Bay, designed to make the most of its elevated position above the Marengo Reef Marine Sanctuary. The main living, kitchen, and dining areas — and the master bedroom — are all oriented toward the ocean, so the outlook is always with you.
The home sleeps 8 across 3 bedrooms, with a separate upstairs family retreat that makes it especially well suited to two families travelling together, extended family groups, or parents wanting their own space from the kids. The layout offers both connection and privacy — gather for long breakfasts on the deck, or retreat to different levels when you need quiet time.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Master bedroom: King bed with two private balconies — east-facing (sunrise, reef, seals) and south-facing (Harrison’s Beach, afternoon sea breeze).
Bedroom 2: Queen bed, sheltered garden aspect — quiet and naturally cool, ideal for deeper sleep.
Bedroom 3 / Family retreat: Adult-rated bunk bed plus two single beds (sleeps 4), with its own lounge, workspace, and a huge ocean-facing picture window. A standout space for teens, kids, or a second couple wanting their own zone.
LIVING SPACES
Two separate living areas — the main downstairs lounge with gas log fire, and the upstairs family retreat — each with Smart TV. The elevated ocean-facing deck is the centrepiece: meals, drinks, sunsets, and the ever-changing view across the reef.
KITCHEN & DINING
Fully equipped kitchen with everything needed for extended stays, including a Breville Barista Touch coffee machine with starter beans, plus tea, coffee, and welcome snacks on arrival.
WORKING REMOTELY
Fast Wi-Fi 6 (NBN 100, typically 70–90 Mbps) and a dedicated ocean-view upstairs workspace with 34” monitor, webcam, keyboard, and mouse — framed by a large picture window over the coastline. A genuinely unique spot to work.
FAMILIES
Cot, high chair, children’s dinnerware, board games, and PS4 all provided.
COMFORT
Split-system heating and cooling on both levels, gas log heater downstairs, two bathrooms with walk-in showers, fresh linen and bath towels, full laundry with washer and dryer.
OUTDOOR
Covered carport plus additional off-street parking, outdoor shower for after the beach, on-site EV charger (7 kW Type 2, $15/night).
