Marengo House | Marengo Views | 180° Clifftop Ocean Retreat

3 Bedroom House in Marengo

Wake to waves, watch seals on the reef, and walk to the Great Ocean Walk in minutes.
Perched above the Marengo Reef Marine Sanctuary just outside Apollo Bay, Marengo Views is a spacious, light-filled coastal retreat designed around its uninterrupted Southern Ocean outlook. The main living, dining, kitchen, deck, and master bedroom all face the ocean — creating a constant connection to the coastline.
Sleeping up to 8 guests across 3 bedrooms with a separate upstairs family retreat, the home is ideal for families, couples travelling together, remote workers, or longer coastal stays.

The Space

The layout works especially well for:
* Two families travelling together
* Extended family groups
* Couples wanting separate living zones
* Remote working stays
* Relaxed Great Ocean Road getaways
The elevated position above the reef systems creates an ever-changing outlook — from calm glassy mornings to rolling swells breaking across the coastline.

Bedrooms (Sleeps 8)
Master Bedroom
King bed with two private balconies:
* East-facing balcony with sunrise, reef, and ocean views
* South-facing balcony overlooking Harrison’s Beach and the coastline
A beautiful spot to watch seals around the reef systems or surfers at Marengo Point.

Bedroom 2
Queen bed with a quiet garden outlook — naturally cool, sheltered, and ideal for restful sleep.

Separate upstairs retreat featuring:
* Adult-rated bunk bed
* Two single beds
* Lounge area

Living Spaces
Two separate living areas provide flexibility and space to unwind:
* Main downstairs lounge with gas log fireplace
* Upstairs family retreat with Smart TV and workspace
The elevated ocean-facing deck is the heart of the home — ideal for long breakfasts, sunset drinks, and watching the changing light across the water.

Kitchen & Dining
Fully equipped kitchen designed for short or extended stays, including:
* Breville Barista Touch coffee machine
* Starter coffee beans
* Tea, coffee, and welcome snacks
* Generous dining and entertaining space

Remote Working
Fast Wi-Fi 6 (NBN 100 plan, typically 70–90 Mbps) plus a dedicated ocean-view workspace including:

Marengo is a peaceful coastal pocket just south of Apollo Bay on Victoria’s iconic Great Ocean Road.
Walk to:
* Harrison’s Beach (2–3 mins)
* Marengo Rock Pools
* Great Ocean Walk trailhead
* Marengo Main Beach (8 mins)
Apollo Bay cafés, restaurants, pubs, and shops are only a 5-minute drive away, while a scenic coastal walking trail connects Marengo to town.
The coastline is constantly alive with movement — rolling swells, seabirds, surfers, reef activity, and seasonal whale or dolphin sightings. Rosellas, parrots, and cockatoos regularly visit the property.

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.
