Short walk to surf, shops and all the best things Torquay has to offer

TORQUAY RETREAT is a property second to none. Its great location will mean you can throw away the car keys, they won't be needed.

Located only 150m from the surf beach and the front beach, any desire will be satisfied whether it be a day surfing, playing at the beach with the family or going for a stroll around Cosy Corner to watching the wind and kite surfers off this picturesque surf coast.

You have the choice of dining in or going to one of the many cafes and restaurants at your doorstep. Alternatively the Torquay hotel is only a very short stroll away or you can enjoy a BBQ or picnic at the beach.

The Torquay township with it's supermarkets, shops, banks and many other facilities is an easy 5 minute walk away together with the new Torquay Central providing specialty shops to satisfy the shopper in all of us. If that is not enough every type of surf shop including Billabong, Quicksilver and Ripcurl are within walking distance.

For the sporting, there are golf courses and tennis courts close by and Go Ride A Wave just around the corner for those keen to learn how to surf.

Our group of 7 had a great stay at Paul and Wendy's place. The location is excellent, short walk to surf and front beach, and local shops. The house is very comfortable, clean, well laid out for a group and had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this place and hope to return.

Everything about our stay in Torquay was fabulous. It was roomy and very comfortable for our family. The great location of this home cannot be beat! We were able to walk to multiple beaches, so many stores/restaurants, and the street is not noisy. We didn’t have to use our car once. We ran into travel trouble trying to get to Torquay (our flight was canceled) and Paul was very quick to reply to my messages, he was kind and as accommodating as he could be. We really appreciated him! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you so much, Paul, for the wonderful stay!

We had a great stay at Torquay Retreat. The house was very clean and also well equipped, particularly the kitchen, with everything we needed. We also appreciated the ducted heating and electric blankets over the cold June weekend. The location was excellent, close to the beach, walking path and restaurants. Thanks for a relaxing weekend!

Best street in Torquay

Clean and comfortable and just a short walk to back and front beaches. Choose to eat in with a good range of kitchen amenities or take a short walk to a variety of dining options. There are a range of seating/chatting areas inside and out. Friendly helpful and efficient communication with host.
