Torquay, Victoria
Ironbark is a classic, low-key, single-level, Western Red Cedar beach house in a quiet street in Jan Juc Village, the more rural and treed area of Torquay.
The interior of Ironbark is light with large windows and garden views. The home is furnished and decorated in a comfortable and relaxed beach style. There is interesting and fun artwork on the walls. It has a rustic, yet at the same time, modern ambience and modern conveniences.
You will definitely feel you are out of the city and suburbs and the architecture and busy-ness of those environments and in the easy-going, relaxed atmosphere of the beach and countryside.
This is a family beach house and is set in a large (668m2) Australian native bush-style garden with many trees. The property is secure with a high front fence and gates that can be securely closed for child safety.
The home is much-loved and regularly used by the owner and is therefore well-maintained and kept clean and attractive and is very well-equipped.
The spacious open-plan living area has a wood fire for Winter, a reverse cycle air conditioner/heater and includes a T.V. seating area, a second seating area that has views of the garden, a study desk, a full kitchen with dishwasher and adjacent dining area with Grandma’s charming retro 1960s kitchen dresser and dining table for six. There is a separate laundry with tub and washing machine and a clothes line and airers.
All the living areas receive the afternoon sunshine and there are outdoor blinds on north and west-facing windows for protection on hot Summer days.
The comfortable bedrooms - two with the morning sun, the third with views of the front garden - are carpeted, have quality beds, built-in wardrobes, chests of drawers, quality sheets, doonas (feather & down in Winter), pure wool blankets, pillows and also electric blankets for the cooler months.
The master bedroom has a King-sized bed and a semi-ensuite bathroom. Bedroom 2 has 2 Single beds and Bedroom 3 has a Queen-sized bed. The semi-ensuite bathroom has a full-sized bath, a separate shower, a new, modern vanity unit with basin and mirror and a toilet. There is also a separate second toilet and modern vanity unit with basin and mirror.
For your outdoor relaxation amongst the trees there is a family-sized table with 6 chairs, an outdoor umbrella, a lounge chair, 2 bench seats with coffee table.
There is a smaller table with chairs on the west-facing verandah for enjoying drinks at sunset. Enjoy a meal or a drink outside while listening to the native birds and feel free to use some of the herbs in the herb garden!
All who stay at Ironbark enjoy the large garden, the spacious open-plan living areas and the understated charm and relaxing beach-style ambience!

Gorgeous house, thoughtfully and tastefully furnished with everything one needs. Great location and facilities. Glenda was kind, generous and responsive as a host. Would absolutely stay again.
This lovely home had everything we needed. The large open plan area was well laid out. Clear instructions - easy to follow. Hot water, comfortable lounge/couch & beds. A very clean home. Off street parking was handy & a fab. verandah. The host - Glenda - was always available. We had a great Christmas.
Loved the house, deck and garden. Very cozy with the stove lit. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds.
Everything was available to make this a very pleasant stay - kitchen fully equipped and all necessary cooling and heating provided. Relaxing Outdoor areas. Unfortunately there was an issue with insects in the kitchen and on the bedsheets.
We had an amazing time staying at this place! Glenda is such a great host, she left us some welcome chocolates, coffee and wine on the day we arrived..and very easy to communicate! And the house..it is a hidden gem! Spotless.. kids loved all the creativity in the house! 5 min drive from all the beaches.. Definitely we will go back!!
We enjoyed a week at this house. It was very clean, with a well-appointed kitchen. Great leafy block to enjoy sitting on the deck, peacefully watching the bird life. Communication with the host was easy, and very responsive.
Glenda is a wonderful host who replies promptly to messages. The house is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We enjoyed a very relaxing break at Ironbark and hope to return in the future! ?
Great location, very clean. Had everything we needed. Glenda left some Easter eggs in a basket, my kids thought that was great.
This house is immaculately clean. It has all the creature comforts, plus extras. I couldn’t fault it. My husband and two primary aged kids loved it. Thanks for having us.
Cute and cosy timber cottage, perfect for families wanting a beach holiday in a bush like setting. House was extremely clean and well maintained. All furniture was very comfortable and towels/bed linen all new and fresh!! Perfect for a family stay and would definitely book again.
