Chocolate Gannets, Apollo Bay, Melbourne & Victoria, Australia, Australasia
Chocolate Gannets, Apollo Bay
Located directly opposite a beautiful sandy beach, Chocolate Gannets offers luxury accommodation and superb ocean views on the Great Ocean Road. Four individual luxury villas are surrounded by rolling countryside about two and a half kilometres from Apollo Bay.
Highlights
Sleep
Each contemporary Sea Villa is luxuriously appointed, each with two bedrooms, a small kitchen, open living space featuring a wood fire and huge two-person spa bath. Two Beachfront Villas have uninterrupted views of the rolling waves with floor to ceiling windows to enjoy the spectacular views. Just behind, two Luxury villas have particle ocean views. The villas are a stone’s throw from the beach, or a short four-minute drive into Apollo Bay with its shops and restaurants.
