Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac just one house back from the beautiful mangroves of the Barwon River estuary, this modest French inspired cottage has recently been renovated keeping all of the original charm but integrating it with modern and luxurious style.

The kitchen and bathrooms have recently been renovated and are bright, airy and include modern appliances. The living, dining and 4th bedroom overlook a massive outdoor BBQ and entertaining area. All bedrooms are spacious and include built-in robes. Two of the 4 bedrooms have en-suites and the main bathroom, which includes a bath, services the other two bedrooms.

The house features split system air conditioning as well as hydronic-heating throughout. A double lock-up garage ensures vehicles can be stored securely.

The house is situated on a large 1000 square metre block with a beautiful fully-fenced cottage-style garden for you to relax in. There is ample room and plenty of shade for your family pets. The outdoor entertaining area is a feature of this property and the massive decked area features both open and undercover areas - perfect for a quiet and relaxing get-away.

Enjoy walks with the dogs along the Barwon estuary boardwalks or take a short drive to the designated dog beach just past the 13th beach lifesaving club. There are activities a-plenty in Barwon Heads as well as a thriving cafe and retail strip on Hitchcock Avenue - which is also within walking distance.

For any questions don't hesitate to contact or call Tim on .

    Overall very pleased with the property and amenities. However some things were a bit annoying. Like cutlery that's not really clean and needs dishwashing. TV that's quite small for the size of the living room. Lack of doors in all bathrooms and lack of ability to lock the doors even where there are doors. With high price comes high expectations. Still, it didn't made our stay less pleasant. We enjoyed our time in the house - overall it's quite welcoming and well located. Small fixes would elevate it from good to exceptional.

    Property was as described and depicted in photos. It was the perfect short stay for my husband and I and our elderly dog. We appreciated the open plan kitchen and lounge, quality appliances, ammenities and decor. Our dog enjoyed wandering safely around outside in the pleasant and secure front and back yard and snoozing under the big shade tree adjacent to a very comfortable deck and barbecue area.

    House, location, all good but property needs maintenance. bathroom taps need new washers as ensuite taps are very difficult to turn on or off. No doors on the ensuites, not really acceptable. BBQ not used.... needs tuff clean! Air con in living room very noisy and needs maintenance.

    A little late to leave a review but cannot fault this property or the communication we had with the Property Manager. A wonderful home, our puppy adored the open, secure space, and we really loved our stay. Thankyou!

    Looked like a slam dunk from the pics and the reviews and it was everything we hoped for. Slight hiccup getting the entrance details but that was sorted just before we pulled up at the front gate so no drama there. Tim was quick to respond both times we reached out via the app. Hydronic heating was sensational. Only negative was the rear bedroom next to the living room has no heating at all. Being Sept it was just ok.

    A very pleasant weekend away in Barwon heads. The property presently excellently, comfortably warm, clean, spacious, all the modern conveniences, great coffee machine and a wonderful fireplace. All we needed for an enjoyable family weekend away where the inclement weather was hardly a factor. Pet friendly was a big tick, thank you. Would love to stay again in the future.

    We booked this property for a weekend away in winter for some family time. It’s such an incredible place, and the photos don’t do it justice as to how stunning the home and property is. Tim was quick to respond and very accomodating. We can’t wait to come back and visit throughout the year.

    A wonderful, bright, roomy house in quiet area of Barwon Heads. Would suit several family groups or just a quiet get away for a couple and their pooch as was the case for us. Host Tim was helpful regarding one small enquiry we had after arrival. Highly recommend this property to all. Gavin & Georgie H.
