Callahan - At Apollo Bay

Great view; everything we needed.

The Callahan is a home away from home for us. We have stayed a few times now. It has that old school rustic charm. The atmosphere of a family home comes at you as soon as you walk in. The views are phenomenal and the location to town is perfect for us not too close not too far. Access to the GOR is amazing you are in the middle of everything. If you are ok with the wardrobes being full and living out of your suitcase then you will love it here. For us the hominess and the views far out way the lack of storage for our clothing. We love our time in this part of the world and Callahan makes it more enjoyable. The games, firewood for the open fire in winter and binoculars available to use are a welcome touch. It gives that time to reconnect with your family without all the distractions of the modern world, which for me is invaluable these days. We will be back again. Love, love, love.

We were very disappointed with bedrooms 2,3 and 4. Curtains falling down in one room, and dark and depressing decor in all. Shabby looking quilt covers. A wet towel left on laundry floor. Attention to detail was poor: frozen over freezer, junky ' cupboard ' with glad wrap etc. A hair on the cupboard shelf and in the microwave made us feel like we had to sanitize all surfaces including the heavy plastic cover on the dining table. A very bad way to start a holiday.

Our week at Callahan, was far too short! From the moment you walked in it felt like a family home where all were welcome. The fire was amazing for doing puzzles by, the kitchen was family friendly and allowed us all to cook together and the huge dining table was the perfect place for making memories! With an amazing view and location to the beach it was the perfect winter escape!

An older style but comfortable house with amazing views and instant access to the local beach. Open fire place is the only real source of heating and there is no dishwasher, but otherwise it is well appointed. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Callahan to others.

Amazing

Comfortable house in a great location. We really enjoyed our stay!

This little piece of paradise was just what we needed. Beautiful views to Marengo beach and a short walk to the rocky reef, beautiful in the sun and the rain. The beds aren’t the most comfortable, clean bathroom and kitchen facilities, be sure you take your own frypan and sharp knives. We will come again.

Morengo is such a fantastic place for families. It has a lived-in feeling which made it even more comfortable. Proximity to the beach without any major road crossings made it so easy for the kids to wander down on their own making for a fantastic holiday for us (2 families). The house has a fantastic layout for families. Notable absences are a bath, and reading lamps. The real estate managing the place were not very helpful and pretty defensive when enquiring about covid cleaning. Our holiday in the Callahan house was really fantastic. Thank you to the Callahan family for opening your lovely beach house to others.

House was warm inviting colours .history of house of the family was interesting to read about .so exciting to watch the sunrise from the bedroom window !!we were lucky in June had 3 days of sunshine !!we had been to marengo Apollo bay often in our past so reliving the lovely area !!the only negative took lots of time too get the open fire to give out heat !!but eventually perseverance and Malley roots mixed with red gum that was there for our use ,fire got warm as we there 4 days . Bed was comfortable .
