Marengo House | Clifftop 180° Ocean Views | Great Ocean Road | Sleeps 8 | Family Retreat

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).
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Marengo is a quiet coastal pocket just south of Apollo Bay on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road — one of the most scenic stretches of coastline in Australia.
• 2–3 min walk to Harrison’s Beach via coastal path
• 3 min walk to the Marengo Rock Pools and the Great Ocean Walk trailhead
• 8 min walk (600m) to Marengo Main Beach
• 5 min drive to Apollo Bay cafés, shops, and restaurants
• 30 min scenic coastal walk into Apollo Bay
The outlook shifts constantly — glassy mornings, rolling afternoon swells, surfers at Marengo Point, and seals on the reef year-round. Dolphins and passing whales appear in season. Parrots, rosellas, and cockatoos are regular visitors.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK
Access & stairs: The home is split-level with multiple stairs, including around 25 steps from the carport to the main entrance. Best suited to guests comfortable with stairs; may not suit those with mobility concerns or heavy luggage.
Parking & driveway: Carport plus additional off-street and street parking. The concrete driveway has a gentle slope — take care reversing and keep left. Motion-activated floodlights at night. Low-clearance vehicles may prefer the street.
Check-in: From 3:00 pm via smart lock (contactless, code sent before arrival). Check-out by 10:00 am. Early/late requests considered subject to cleaning schedule.
Stay details: Minimum stays vary by season. No pets, no smoking, no parties or events.

Summary: Our stay in this home was fantastic, highlighted by Max's generous communication. The accommodation had everything we needed. There was a good supply of small personal additional items - handsoap, shampoo/conditioner, tissues (both facial and toilet) - in regards to laundry supplies, there was an abundance of laundry pods and a very generous supply of necessities in the kitchen. We were impressed with the small touches of fresh herbs on the kitchen sink and a ready stash of supplies in the pantry.The house itself was clean and comfortable; the ambience beautiful (incredible outlook over the ocean, with beautiful breezes). Morning and evening visits by the resident parrot families. A veritable supply of board games and a tv upstairs and downstairs. Max's communication was quick and nothing was a trouble. We had inclement weather during our stay which made staying in for a day unavoidable - but the house was cozy and inviting. The drive into Apollo Bay itself was quick and the bakery soon became a favourite stop-in along with the "Shelter Cafe". This was truly a fabulous find, with wonderful hosts. We definitely hope to return.
