About this property

Ocean Views Retreat

Perched high in a sought-after pocket of Ocean Grove, enjoying the Panoramic views, and sitting pretty is this family favourite offering all the creature comforts, the ultimate getaway awaits. Travel as a couple for a romantic escape or as a few families combine to enjoy the summer holidays, this well-thought-out property offers year-round comfort and appeal. A short drive to the Terrace and Ocean Grove Beach.

An architectural delight with character trimmings and a modern edge offering spacious rooms spread across multiple split levels. Light-filled and airy sweeping, panoramic views from Point Lonsdale to the Bluff at Barwon Heads and divine sunsets to the west. This is where you come on holiday!!

The beautiful and established gardens surround this home giving a welcoming feel as you approach the entry. Upon entry, you are greeted by a beautiful 70’s timber spiral staircase which leads you to the basement or as we like to call it the “kids retreat” offering a huge bedroom decked out with 2x single bunk beds, rollaway bed (upon request), sitting area and TV, with plenty of room to play. The 3rd bathroom with a shower, vanity and toilet completed with garage access.

To the left take 3 steps down into the master bedroom which boasts balcony access with 2 chairs and stunning views, plenty of robe space and a full ensuite.

The dining area is a space of its own where you can look over the sunken 1st living area, engage in the kitchen activity and look straight across to the ocean.

Take another 3 steps down into the ever-inviting first living area which offers a wonderful ocean breeze in Summer and a cosy and inviting vibe through Winter.

The kitchen is a fantastic size and equipped with more than just the basics making entertaining a breeze. A sizeable pantry with quality appliances overlooks the 2nd living area which has sliding door access to the outside entertaining area.

The rear of the home hosts bedroom 2 and the main central bathroom is equipped with a corner bath, shower, and vanity. A large laundry complete with a trough, front loader, and fixed ironing board with access to the outside and a separate toilet to complete this wing of the home.

The outside area is manicured and pleasant offering lots of undercover seating as well as garden seating, a plumbed-in Ziegler & Brown BBQ, a clothesline and plenty of room to run around for the kids. Please note, that whilst we welcome dogs, the yard is not secure and there is clear access from the front to the back.

Features of the property include ducted heating and split system heating and cooling, laundry facilities, onsite parking and smart TV with streaming capabilities.

Vacation at ocean grove
We stayed at this property for four nights. The location is good and the house itself very spacious and comfortable with nice views and decor. The check in process was straightforward. Unfortunately the weather was not good during our stay so our beach holiday was not as planned. A couple of things to note is that the kids bedroom is on the bottom floor and there is a spiral staircase to access the main upper level and other bedrooms so children are the main people traversing this staircase which could be hazardous. Also there was no external remote for garage door to the property meaning that you had to actually go into house to open garage door from inside which was a real pain. I received no response to my question about whether one existed. These issues aside we enjoyed our stay.

Weekend away
House super tidy and lovely furnishings. Great having 3 bathrooms with 4 children and 4 adults. Would have loved to use the spa but didn’t realise didn’t have a plug until went to use. Could have gone to supermarket to purchase if I really wanted to. Good price, lovely quiet area short walk to great coffee and beach

Great place to stay!
Great house, beautiful views! Perfect getaway for family with a little dog. Just needed a vacuum under the furniture, otherwise clean and tidy with everything you'd need for a comfortable holiday.
