It's easy to relax and feel a world away from it all inside this enchanting mudbrick cottage. Cut deep into a lime stone hill, nestled amongst the trees and parklands; capturing the serenity synonymous with the natural beauty of its coastal location.
This stunning sustainable home built in the late 70’s radiates warmth and rustic appeal, with a beautiful mixture of natural and recycled materials from rammed earth walls and exposed wooden beams, to vintage Telephone booth doors.

Boasting a well-appointed kitchen and generous open plan living/dining space, beautifully styled and featuring a vintage 10-seater canteen dinner table, potbelly fireplace and unique handmade lights and pendants that create an ambiance like no other.

Accommodation includes three generous size bedrooms plus a roof concealed ladder, which pulls down to reveal a stunning fourth bedroom loft. Centrally located and newly renovated bathroom with a beautiful deep bath tub and luxurious shower enhances the exposed stone that adds to the earthy feel of the home.

Just a short 3-minute stroll will lead you to Ocean Grove's hidden treasure Bluewater Lake. A further 10-minute walk and you will discover many of Ocean Grove’s local attractions including, Surf Beaches, Barwon River, Golf Course and the Main Street filled with award winning cafes and restaurants.

After a day of exploring Ocean Grove's endless attractions come back and get lost in your favourite book as you unwind beside the potbelly fireplace or simply relax beneath the trees in the hammock listening to the birds and the sounds of the waves.

If you're a budding chef, gather your friends and family around the wood-fire oven to cook your favourite pizzas whilst the kids toast marshmallows around the fire-pit or explore the playground and large surrounding parklands.

And bring the furry family member too,
We welcome well mannered dogs and are happy to provide dog beds and bowls.

    This is our second year in a row visit, so we are very familiar with the property and it offers our family just what we need for our stay near the coast.

    We arrived to find dirty bench tops, dirty wine glasses and plates in the cupboard and a dirty fridge. After 6 hours drive and looking forward to celebrating Christmas tea with family we were disappointed to say the very least.

    Had such a wonderful stay at this gorgeous home! So cozy and welcoming. My friends and I absolutely loved the warmth this house gave, overall we had such a lovely time. The only fault I will give this house is the toilet doesn’t flush properly, all my friends and I had troubles using it and often had to flush multiple times! Apart from that, it was a perfect place to enjoy each other’s company and definitely would stay again! Thank you Tyson :)

    My friends and I stayed at this property for an event. The property is very different and interesting in a gorgeous location. However, we found communication with the host to be disappointing. The day before check-in, I sent in enquiry which was never responded to. At check-in time I still hadn’t been sent details on the key lock box. It took several attempts at calling to make contact with the host, meaning we were unable to check in on time. I believe the accessibility of this property is not accurately portrayed on the site. There is a STEEP set of stairs to go up and down to access the property. Additionally, the main bedroom is up a huge ladder. This bedroom also has mould issues and the balcony door doesn’t shut. The property has no linen included due to washing, yet there are doona covers on the bed and pillows on some of the pillows ?which also need washing?. This leads me to question whether these items are washed or not between guests. The mattress and pillow protectors are also heavily stained. There was a huge list of check out conditions in the condition. So we had to spend a long time completing these before check out. So, overall while it was a cute quirky house in a lovely spot, I wouldn’t stay again.
