Tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street in Barwon Heads, this charming coastal retreat offers a serene escape just moments from the Barwon River. Surrounded by native flora and only a short stroll from the boat ramp and fishing spots, the home enjoys a tranquil setting ideal for those looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy a slower pace. The location offers both seclusion and convenience—within easy reach of the village centre and pristine beaches, yet quiet enough to hear birdsong in the mornings.

The home’s newly renovated interior blends modern design with everyday comfort. Thoughtfully designed living spaces are bathed in natural light, creating an uplifting and calming atmosphere throughout. Two distinct lounge areas provide ample room for family connection or quiet retreat, each equipped with 50 inch flat-screen TVs and Netflix for relaxed evenings in. The stylish kitchen, featuring Caesarstone benchtops and quality appliances, is well-equipped for preparing everything from leisurely breakfasts to beachside picnics.

With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home is well-suited for families or couples seeking a laid-back getaway. The primary bedroom offers privacy with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the second queen bedroom and a third bedroom with two bunks and a timber cot makes it easy to accommodate guests of all ages. The house sleeps 8 guests plus 1 infant.

Outdoors, the large secure yard faces north and is an ideal space for children, pets, or afternoon barbecues under the sun. The alfresco area invites relaxed outdoor dining, while a pair of kayaks—complete with adult and child life vests—encourage exploration of the nearby river. Pet lovers will appreciate the secure fencing and pet-friendly policy, making it a truly inclusive space for all members of the family.

The town of Barwon Heads is beloved for its natural beauty and small-town charm. From scenic coastal trails and surf beaches to a renowned golf course and vibrant local cafes, the area invites discovery and leisure in equal measure. Whether you’re paddling along the river, watching the waves roll in, or browsing boutiques in the village, every day presents a new way to unwind. This welcoming home serves as a perfect base to enjoy it all—peacefully, comfortably, and with ease.

    Barwon Abode has a beautiful coastal ambience- sunny outlook in a quiet and private street. Excellent back yard for my Labrador. I appreciated the quality bedding and towels. Will definitely return.

    Great location, quite street, a 5-minute walk to the riverside trail, and only a 5–10 minute drive to supermarkets and restaurants. The room provided all the basic essentials, and the clean backyard was very dog-friendly.We would choose this house again if we vacation there next time.

    Being all on one level was great for my elderly mum and easy to keep the dog contained! On arrival, the house was immaculately clean!Furnishings are comfortable and contemporary, kitchen is well appointed and a joy to cook in, with a huge island bench, and open plan living/dining. Beds were extremely cozy, with lovely thick doonas to keep us warm on this icy weekend. Luxurious towels in the bathrooms, with extra if needed. The yard is very big and my dog enjoyed sniffing and running around, lovely views to the yard from all living areas. Whilst the property is pet friendly, there is no separation between front & back, so a little tricky keeping the dog in whilst getting out of the gates, but we managed!Overall, a fantastic place for a mini break!

    The fit out was perfect and immaculate, bedding gorgeous everything was terrific apart from the BBQ wasn’t clean but that wasn’t the fault of the owner who offered someone to clean it for us ASAP. Wonderful stay and will do it again.
