A dreamy and cozy space that’s a true cabin in the woods. Long Tide Retreat is the most magical space to rest, reconnect & recharge, just 15 minutes from Apollo Bay, Victoria
Set amongst lush, green open lawns and tall majestic rainforest, the barn is perched a few hundred metres above sea level, giving truly breathtaking ocean views. There’s a calm energy from the open spaces and surrounding forest. A vast expanse of land, sea & sky merge with the earthy and warm tones of the cozy barn style A-frame house.
The Barn is sitting perched atop a hill with epic (we actually do mean EPIC) ocean and forest views
We are travellers, too, and have tried to put everything in the barn that we miss when we travel, including a comfortable bed!
No traffic noise here, ever. No light pollution, unless it is a full moon, just the synchronised breathing of the ocean and forest
When the storms roll in, there is nothing better than curling up on the couch by the fire with a book and a cup of tea
We have books, magazines, board games, drawing supplies and puzzles. Regional TV and DVD player (current count is 150+ of our favourites on DVD)
We also offer an incredible selection of organic teas, from our friends at Love Tea, and locally roasted coffee from our friends at Hello coffee in Apollo Bay.
Long Tide Retreat is surrounded by pristine national park as part of the Otway Ranges National Park and an endless number of beaches and waterfalls that extend in both directions along the great ocean road. It is a natural paradise and is so fun to explore in either direction, including inland where you will find some old growth forest, waterfalls, and some tourist attractions such as the Otway treetop walk and the Californian redwood forest.
Skenes Creek North is a semi rural but mostly forested coastal landscape. To give you an example we have about 6 acres of cleared space and the rest of the 167 acre property is natural bush.
This magical slice of nature sits towards the end of a picturesque, approx 2km long, winding, gravel road with breathtaking ocean views greeting you along the way. When you arrive, you will be further welcomed by a wonderfully rustic 2 story timber barn style home, sitting perched atop a hill with epic (we actually do mean EPIC) ocean & forest views.
Delight in our unique A-frame barn and immerse yourself in the feeling of tranquility in the forest.
