Known for its stunning beaches and natural beauty, it is a popular spot for both locals and visitors looking for a relaxing getaway. The town is nestled between Aireys Inlet and Lorne, offering easy access to the spectacular coastal landscape that defines the region. Fairhaven’s main draw is its long, pristine beach, ideal for swimming, surfing, and relaxing. The surrounding area is home to lush Otway forest and walking trails, making it a great destination for nature lovers. The town has a small welcoming community, a Surf Life Saving Club and offers a quiet, laid-back atmosphere. While the town itself is relatively small, it’s a perfect base for exploring the wider Great Ocean Road region. With its scenic views, outdoor activities, and tranquil vibe, Fairhaven is an ideal location for those looking to experience the beauty of Victoria’s coastline in a more serene, less crowded setting.brbrbrbrEnjoy the nearby family friendly activities in the neighbouring town Aireys Inlet such as, the Great Ocean Road Mini Golf, Aireys Inlet Skate Park and Playground, the Bark Hut reserve and of course you could take the Eco Logic Split Point Lighthouse Tour and climb to the top of the famous Round the Twist lighthouse. There are some great beaches to explore in Aireys/Fairhaven and of course Painkalac Creek if you're wanting to paddle board, kayak or fish.brbrbrbrGetting Around:brbrGetting around Fairhaven, Victoria, is generally done by car, as the town is small and public transportation options are limited. The Great Ocean Road, which runs through the town, provides easy access to nearby areas such as Aireys Inlet, Lorne, and the surrounding coastal spots. Visitors often use their own vehicles or rental cars to explore the region, as it allows the freedom to visit the many scenic locations at their own pace. For those looking to explore the local area more leisurely, cycling is a popular option, with bike-friendly paths and routes along the coast. Walking is also a great way to enjoy the natural beauty of the region, with several trails around Fairhaven and nearby beaches, such as the popular Fairhaven Beach. Taxis and shuttle services are available but may not be frequent, so having your own transport is recommended for the most convenient and flexible travel around Fairhaven and the surrounding areas.

The Pole House - At Fairhaven

Fairhaven, Victoria, Australia

Welcome to The Pole House. Widely known as the most photographed house on the Great Ocean Road, and probably Australia!brbrSuspended 40 meters above Fairhaven Beach, the Pole House is one of Australia's most iconic homes. Recently renovated, The Pole House now adds a luxurious modern setting to a holiday experience like no other. Whilst carefully planned and crafted, The Pole House is not about accommodation, nor is it about facilities or amenities, of which it has many, The Pole House is about the experience. Picture yourself waking to the sound of crashing waves, opening your eyes to find yourself suspended above the most spectacular coastline in the country. The Pole House is adventure, so take yourself to the edge and indulge in one of the most unique, iconic and awe inspiring destinations. Sea you there.brbrStrict No Party Policy (schoolies, hens, bucks etc) See terms and conditionsbrbrThe Pole House is becoming increasingly more popular for wedding proposals and other special occasions because of its unique setting. However, in line with our no-party policy (clause 7 of our T&Cs), any type of decorations must be pre-approved by Gorh and includes prohibition of the following:brbrNO decorations attached to walls, floors and/or ceilingsbrbrNO moving of furniturebrbrNO candles (only battery-operated)brbrNO party equipment (such as smoke, sparkles, etc. etc.)brbrIf you have organised for people, other than yourself, to enter the property before your arrival, we will meet them on site to ensure they adhere to our rules.brbrFirewood is only supplied from May to October.brbrThe Pole House does not have a full kitchen and only provides basic cooking facilities i.e. microwave oven, toaster, kettle, coffee machine, so please plan meals accordingly.brbrbrPlease Note: this property is Not suitable for children. brCheese platter and sparkling wine for illustrative purposes only (Not supplied) brThere are external security cameras installed. Cameras are positioned to view areas for external security monitoring only. All cameras are installed in line with local regulations.br brbrThe Pole House was recently featured in an episode of 'Destination Happiness' brbrIt is rare someone writes a book good enough for it to enter the literary canon and be enjoyed by successive generations. Decades pass between the composition of one great symphony and another. Its just as infrequent that an architect designs and builds a house that becomes iconic, even famous. In Australia there is the Rose Seidler House, built in NSW in 1950 by Harry Seidler; The Walsh Street house, built in 1958 by Robin Boyd; Grounds House, built in Victoria by Roy Grounds; the Philip Island House, completed in the late eighties by Barrie Marshall; Gottlieb house by Wood Marsh; Kempsey House designed by Glenn Murcutt; and Castlecrag House, in NSW, the work of Hugh Buhrich. One quickly comes to the end of the list. brbrThe avant garde is not so rare. Neither is the excellent. But the avant-garde and excellent together is achieved so seldom we can hold the names of these select few in our heads.brbrThe Pole House at Fairhaven was built by Frank Dixon and instantly became a landmark, a manmade natural attraction, a concrete apostle, a sentinel guarding the eastern gate to The Great Ocean Road. It was built by the ancients in the seventies, a time before computers and ring roads when the coast was a rumour, and it became a totem in a far place.brbrChildren in cars heading down the coast held competitions to see who could spot it first. It became such a shared part of the landscape people stopped to take photos, and as you stand on its balcony with a drink in your hand people wave from passing cars and toot their horns as if you hold some honourary position. Its current owners call this being anonymously famous.brbrDriving past the Pole House these last thirty-odd years Id always wondered what it would be like looking down from the inside out across the sea. It turns out to be one of those rare experiences that exceed expectations like Paris or the Great Barrier Reef.brbrThe house has just been redesigned by Franco Fiorentini from F2 Architecture and is a brilliant new statue on an already famous pedestal. The first feeling one has at the Pole House is a vertiginous thrill based on altitude and distance, as if you are Leonardo DiCaprio leaning high out over the water off the front of a mighty ship as it cuts through rolling swell. Apprehension and awe mingle as the house sways gently. You are both airborne and seaborne, having left land, and the very Earth, behind. You're also brought face-to-face with the paucity of you own language as you keep repeating the same hackneyed phrases over and over. Wow. I cant believe this. Wow.brbrThe house is a blaze of architectural brio. The taps have lights hidden in their mouths shining down along the bubbling paths of falling water, and alongside each light a diode, so when the water is cold it is blue, as the temperature rises to warm it turns purple and by the time the water is hot it is bright red. The couches recline and stretch at button-press. Blinds covering two whole walls rise at the press of another button, uncovering half the world. Wave your hand near a set of light switches and they glow and tell you what's on and what's not. The main room curves around a central bathroom pod clad in burnt ash panels. In front of the floor-to-ceiling window a suspended fireplace hangs from its own chimney essentially a fire burning in a cold sea. The floor is a dark stone the Medicis might have trod. Wifi is available.brbrFor all this, architectural features really have no significant place in the wonder of this house. Its defining and beguiling feature is that the sea and sky are in the room. The rumbling surf and two hundred degrees of ocean with a vast superstructure of cloud overhead. The mood of the house is set by the mood of these elements. Subservient to a constantly changing pageant of light, cloud, wave and colour.brbrDramatic reefs of fire to the west as the sun goes down, while in the East saturated purples fall to night. The closer you are to the sky the more its intricacies are laid bare. You soon understand this room might hold a thousand different sunsets. Another thousand dawns. In here, as part of the sea and sky, each day will be an entity set apart from those before and to come.brbrThe land is a lesser, peripheral, presence. But you could study it all day from up here. Fifty kilometres of coast. From the Split Point Lighthouse at Aireys Inlet the Great Ocean Road rides a rollercoaster of hills through the forests of The Otways to and beyond Lorne. The hills ripple and fold with the passing sun.brbrLike no other house on the shipwreck coast you have the feeling you are perched on the edge of a vast unknown. Its a rare sensation. You get it at Treetops Hotel in Kenya at the edge of the immense Aberdare National Park. And at El Questro Station, sitting clifftop with the infinite Kimberly laid out below. At the Pole House you are at a frontier, the edge of the world you know and the beginning of some other exotic sphere. Its a mood, a portal to another place Antarctica or ease somewhere further away than you were expecting.
