A Room With A View - Westward | Apartment in Wongarra

Escape to a contemporary, architect-designed sanctuary perched above an expansive ocean horizon, framed by a sweeping valley. This tranquil retreat offers complete peace, with nothing but the sounds of birdsong and waves crashing below to accompany your stay.
Nature lovers will be captivated by our resident koalas, occasional wallabies, and the abundant birdlife that frequents the lawn. Keep an eye out for dolphins and seals year-round, and if you visit in late winter or early spring, you may even witness majestic whales passing by.

For those who prefer a slower pace, this accommodation is a true sanctuary. Relax in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and take in the ever-changing panorama of land, sea, and sky from the balcony and spend time soaking in the spa bath in the bathroom. You’ll be approximately 800m from the ocean (as the crow flies) or 2.8km by road.
Apollo Bay is just a 20-minute drive (14km) away, offering a selection of charming cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops for dining and retail therapy.
Adding to the charm of this unique property, you’ll also share the 10-acre retreat with Ronaldo, Paco, and Herman—the friendly alpacas—and Dougal, our shaggy Scottish Highland cow.
