Frankie - A wonderful place to escape the city

Summary:

Frankie - Perched amongst the bushy trees. Located in the peaceful hamlet of Skenes Creek, perched amongst the gum trees. BYO Linen - Hire available



The Space:

Welcome to Frankie!



Located in the peaceful hamlet of Skenes Creek, perched amongst the gum trees, Frankie is a much loved family home. A wonderful place to escape the city, it has the best of the bush and the beach. You'll experience beautiful bird life, native animals and a relaxing family experience.

Located over 2 levels, the home is nestled into a beautiful un-fenced garden & backyard along with downstairs bedroom with double bunks, and bathroom/laundry. Upstairs opens up into a bright living/dining/kitchen area, with the generous, undercover deck, making it feel like you're up amongst the trees.

With a fully fitted out kitchen, you can cook to your heart's content, play boardgames, relax with a book, or sit out on the deck taking in the trees, the birds and, if you're lucky, our local (sometimes very loud) koala.

It's a short 10 minute drive from the main township of Apollo Bay (or a wonderful long walk along the beach at low tide), and a 5-10 minute walk down the hill or 2 minute drive to the Skenes Creek main beach.
