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 cityand suburbs and the architecture and busy-ness of those environments and in the easy-going, relaxed atmosphere of the beach and countryside. See if you can spot the distant sea view on the horizon.
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 clothes 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.
All who stay at Ironbark enjoy the large garden, the spacious open-plan living areas and the understated charm and relaxing beach-style ambience!

    The house is always meticulously clean, thoughtfully furnished and supplied, and comfortable; Glenda is great with communication and is an excellent host. We’ve stayed three times now.

    Such a lovely, clean and well equipped home ! This was the perfect beach getaway and we were so sad to leave after our stay. All the amenities were too notch, working great and modern, like the kitchen, tv, aircon etc. The house is super comfortable and full of light, and the garden was just beautiful to view from the lovely deck out the back. Short walk to the great Jan Juc beach. I can't wait to come back !

    We loved staying here. Glenda was so easy to communicate with and went above and beyond. The house is great, super cosy and the outdoor area is so nice under all the trees. Would definitely stay again, thanks Glenda :)

    Kitted out with all the essentials and attention to detail second to none, Glenda is an excellent host and we love staying here with the our 4 children. It has everything we need and is in a great location. We enjoyed the bbq and deck and all of the excellent cooking equipment. Thanks Glenda!

    Secluded location on a quiet street, close enough to the beach to walk (15 mins) but far enough that it's not crowded and noisy. Beautifully maintained property and excellent host. Glenda takes great care of this lovely house and its guests. This was our second stay.

    Lovely stay, house is decked out with everything you could possibly need, feels like a home rather than an unloved accommodation, large open space to hang out as a group.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Rustic Charm in Torquay/Jan Juc, a true beach shack that was neat as a pin on arrival. Availability of linen is a huge bonus and Glenda was a wonderful, attentive and understanding host, ensuring our stay was minimal fuss and easy to check-in and checkout. Highly recommended.

    Our second time here and still one of the best rental accomodation we’ve ever stayed at. Glenda goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. House is very well appointed, sparkling clean and within close proximity to all you need. Thanks Glenda!

    Glenda’s home was very well presented, clean and fully stocked with everything we needed during our stay. It was in a good location with beaches and shops a short drive away. Glenda was also very easy to communicate with and responded very quickly.
