I was asked to rate the national park. As implied by the name the Great Otway National Park really is great, however the house is not located in it as far as I am aware. We loved being there. Enjoyed eating on the deck overlooking part of the ocean and walking down to the town and beach. We loved the 1950s vibe. The host was also great to deal with. Thank you for having us.

This renovated 1950s beach shack is truly a trip down memory lane. Care has been taken to preserve the character of the shack, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We stayed here for 5 nights in winter, the owner recommends bringing your dressing gowns and socks, which made perfect sense. The wood fire and the view of the ocean in the background were the highlights. The General Store and the Pub were within walking distance, and we visited both venues pretty much every day for breakfast and dinner. The view of the ocean from the balcony is stunning, too.

Magic spot

Lovely little place for a few days to get away from it all. The view was fantastic, sitting amongst the gum trees, with the birds, watching the ocean. When the rain came over it was lovely to snuggle up with the fire on and watch the clouds scoot past. Wish we could have stayed a few more days.

Amazing views

Loved our stay at this property. The view was amazing, decor very nice, and such great wildlife around. Such a cosy and nice vibe!! Only disappointment was that as two couples we only had access to the main bed in the open plan communal area and the bungalow. We were hoping for two separate rooms, as it was listed there were 3 bedrooms available. But Overall we had a lovely stay!

Svar fra VrboOwner den 8. jan. 2023
So lovely to hear you really enjoyed the house and thanks for taking the time to post your review. Just to clarify with regards to the bedrooms. How the rate for the house is structured is by the number of guests. If you are one couple you are paying to rent main house master bedroom only, if you are two couples you have access to the main house master and bungalow both of which are on separate parts of the property and with their own tv. You did not pay for use of the 3rd bedroom hence it wasn’t available. The master bedroom is in an open plan space to allow you to enjoy the ocean and bush views from your bed. All these details are explained and shown in the multiple images on the listing. From the sounds of your stay this really wasn’t an issue but I urge potential guests to fully read the listing and view all the images before booking as the house is truly unique. It’s perfect for a group of couples as you’re all located in bedrooms on separate areas of the property giving you significantly more privacy than you would ever have with a traditional home with all the bedrooms located in one building. Thank you for leaving the house so tidy and would happily recommend your group to any host. Warm regards, Louise

Stunning views

This is a unique property with a distinctive 50s beach shack vibe. Is is rustic and very relaxing. Worth reading all the notes on the layout because this is also quite unique. We loved the deck, bbq, stunning tree/sea views and the collection of 50s furniture and memorabilia. Louise was a helpful and responsive host.

Short getaway

Cool retro vibes but a little dusty and musty for the price. Please read the fine print if you plan to stay here - there is no bed linen or towels included in the price and the set up is a studio if you only require 1 or 2 beds. There is also quite a lengthy list of chores to complete upon departure! Definitely not suitable for enfant and parents, unless you plan to go to bed early!

The house is not for everyone. This is clearly spelt out in the listing. I had a lengthy conversation with you about the fact that the listing also clearly states the house is not suitable for children under 5 years. All this along with guests are required to supply linen and towels are also outlined in the listing. The house is a unique experience and it’s priced at the lower end for Wye River, and inaccordance with not having guests pay an extra cost for the Colac linen service to supply linen but provide their own. Had you communicated your displeasure at this I would have refunded your booking. Kath’s View has 3 bedrooms on separate parts of the property and is ideal for adult groups or those with teens especially. As a couple you booked and paid for the use of the master bedroom only. Again, the listing also clearly states it’s an open plan bedroom along with multiple images of this set up online. Couples love it…..lying in bed watching the open fire and the ocean/bush view. It’s very cosy and unique not being boxed in by 4 walls of a traditional bedroom. It’s disappointing to receive your review as we spoke before you arrived and you raised none of these concerns prior. Unfortunately, I have no control if guests choose to book without fully reading the listing before doing so.

5 nights of bliss

Exactly like the pics, very vintage and cute as. Tiny, but great little kitchen that had all we needed. The balcony was the perfect place to take in the view. A short walk to the beach, easy down the hill but a bit tougher coming back. Communication with Louise was very easy and prompt with responses. With 3 grown boys it was a little tight but we made it work. There was a lovely welcome also with chocs and champers which was really appreciated.

Thank you for your kind words. It’s lovely to hear when guests appreciate the effort that’s gone into making the house a true vintage retro experience. It’s not for everyone as it is a unique experience. And as you mention, the kitchen is small but unlike other new house, I love to cook so it’s equipped with everything you need to cook up a feast, including things you wouldn’t find in other holiday rentals. I’m glad the boys enjoyed their Wye break and Christmas at Kath’s View. You left the house so clean and would happily recommend or welcome you back anytime. Happy New Year. Warm regards, Louise

Thank you Daryl for your glowing review, as stated its an original 50s beach shack where the layout hasn’t been changed but the interior has been renovated in keeping with the 50s vibe and is more than comfortable with all the original 50s furniture but to clarify, just in case possible guests are mislead by your review, the bathroom is downstairs but it is accessed completely undercover and enclosed so you are not weathering the elements when entering and exiting the bathroom unlike the situation of an old school outside loo! Love your analogies of what makes it unique, old cars over a Lexus, vinyl over Spotify and I love Lucy over Married at First Sight. Very apt although I think you’d agree that modern turnaround smart tv in the main house is Gold. I’ve been searching for an original 1950s wooden cabinet record player in working order but am yet to find something special in perfect condition. It’s a big ask…. But if anyone has one please and doesn’t require please get in touch. Would love guests to be able to bring their vinyl down and enjoy. Pleasure having you and your family stay and appreciate you taking the time to post a review. Welcome back anytime. Warm regards, Louise

Easter 2021

Authentic Australian beach home with great ocean views. The home is decorated in lovely 50's furniture and is great for a romantic couples retreat (main floor is like a self contained area with open plan bedroom / kitchen / lounge / WC and fireplace and stepping onto a large Balcony). Other 2 rooms are great for teens/adults and the outside/downstairs bathroom is all part of the beach experience. We all loved sitting out on the balcony soaking up the fresh air, ocean views and wildlife. All you need is down the road, great Cafe/Store and Pub. Some of us didn't have phone reception but I think that was a bonus. Kath's place is a wonderful reminder of how beach life should be lived.

Thank you Laura for your review. Was a pleasure hosting your family. Your review sums up the house perfectly and the essence of what it offers. Lots of love has gone into making it so uniquely 1950s. I’m assuming your two adult boys got a kick out of the blast from the past and enjoyed being in separate bedroom quarters with space to themselves, and yes, off the grid is often a blessing.

Disappointing and overpriced

While some of the living spaces are nice, this property is overpriced relative to other properties around and has some serious issues. It is not a 3 bedroom property. The third bed is next to the kitchen and open to the living room. Also there is no washing machine so we found ourselves having to use the local campground laundry rooms. And whilst being aware that the bathroom is outside, navigating uneven concrete paths in the middle of the night is not good. Some of the appliances are old and potentially unsafe. This property needs some upgrades.

Dear Lane, I can only assume from your review that you booked Kath’s View without having fully read the description or viewed the multiple photos online. With regards to not being value for money, it is slightly more expensive as you booked the peak week of New Years Eve which anyone would expect, but it is still priced low to mid level for Wye River. I have gone to a great deal of attention to detail with photos and description because the house is unique. This includes explaining that the master bedroom is in the open plan top floor to allow you to enjoy magnificent ocean views, watch the fire and turn the tv around to also enjoy. To put a wall up and box this bedroom off from being able to lie in bed and enjoy the ocean view would be wrong in my opinion. The house is a beach that has been furnished with original 1950s pieces that I have specifically chosen over many years to remain authentic to the decade the shack was built. In terms of out dated appliances, I can on.y assume you are referring to the 1950s New World oven in the kitchen. This oven is in immaculate condition for its age, works perfectly and I have cooked some amazing slow roasts in it over the years. Furthermore, there are multiple alternative cooking options of a large BBQ on the deck and brand new microwave/convention oven in the kitchen. No guest in the 10 years I have rented the property has ever raised an issue with safety on the floor outside the bathroom. It is not uneven nor unsafe, it’s just a concrete floor which is how they built holiday shacks in the Fifties. I do not list that the property has a washing machine and if this was an essential requirement then perhaps a modern beach house and completely different holiday experience would have suited better. Overall the years I have offered the house for holiday rental, I’ve had nothing but appreciation from guests who have enjoyed a very unique retro holiday experience and the property’s stunning ocean view. Regards, Louise

Sanctuary in a time capsule

The reviews saying that the property is smaller than the pictures are correct - the photographer was savvy! However, if you keep that in mind you won't be disappointed. Our stay was just the peace I needed with a bonus adventure back into my childhood (but with all the mod-cons of air-conditioning and electric blankets). We ate on the deck and soaked up the view - this is particularly nice in the morning watching the sun on the sea. We lay on the couch or deck and star gazed at night. Jigsaw fans will love the huge glass table - you can do your favourite thing and take breaks gazing at the view through the bay windows. We always bring our own cooking utensils but there was no need here - the kitchen was well equipped. Cooking on the 1950s hob was definitely a blast from the past for me. My teenage daughter, a child of her times, was amazed by the separate taps for hot and cold water. The fire was also a wonderful bonus and draws well while providing heat. We were glad of the cooler weather as it gave us an excuse to use it. Highly recommend this as an escape from the world and a digital detox (we cannot comment on the TV as we did not turn it on!) We also had no problems with reception on our Optus phones - Wye River appears to have resolved this long standing issue.

Lovely to hear when guests enjoy the house’s trip back in time, especially youths experience for your teenage daughter. A great deal of effort that has gone into making it a time capsule and it’s not for everyone but I’m happy to offer the house for with those who wish to enjoy such an experience. My nephew is the photographer, aidanbphoto and I’ll pass on your compliments on his work. However, we didn’t intentionally mean to portray the space as bigger than it but to translate in images that the top floor main house level is one open space combining kitchen, living room, dining room, powderroom and master bedroom with no walls as also part of that open plan. Good to hear Optus now have reception at Wye as Telstra has had a monopoly on service in Wye for years. Thank you for your honest and unbiased review. Would happily recommend you as a guest or have you stay anytime.

Memorable

We loved that the house has remained true to the 1950s. It was so good to get the children off their devices and Netflix streaming and take in the glorious natural surroundings. My children absolutely loved being woken up by the kookaburras and cockatoos every morning and made sure they were all well fed. One of the best family holidays we’ve had 😀 The view was incredible too!

Thank you for your review Deb. From the sounds of things the girls really got into the retro spirit of the house and enjoyed Wye’s wildlife. Wye is a pretty special place. Pleasure hosting you and thrilled you had a lovely family break. Welcome back anytime. Best wishes, Louise

Stunning Ocean Views

Ideal for a quick get-away. A Fun, quirky house - a real step back in time of old beach shacks of the 50's/60's - but with all the mod cons! Everything you needed was there- milk and chocolates on arrival was lovely. AESOP hand wash in the bathrooms. If you are taking children, and you intend to sleep upstairs (which we did), the downstairs bedroom doesn't lock and is semi-outside, as is main bathroom and loo. The other is a separate dwelling-which my 21yo loved!! Great communication with the owner Louise.

Hi Jo, thank you for your feedback. Great you 21 yr old loved staying the Port-hole bungalow and you all enjoyed the retro ambience of the house. The downstairs bedroom does lock, it has a deadlock on the door. I’d suggest that the cleaner has just forgotten to snib it after cleaning. While both the downstairs bedroom and bathroom are under the house accessed by the external verandah, they are completely undercover, so guests won’t be subjected to the elements when heading downstairs to either. One of the design quirks of how they built shacks in the 50s. There’s also the newly installed loo inside the main house, so no need to go downstairs if sleeping in the master or just all hanging out in the open plan top floor living areas. Was a pleasure having you, Ken and the kids stay. I’m thrilled to hear when guests really enjoy and appreciate the effort that’s gone into restoring it. Warm regards, Louise

A stylish space with incredible views

We had a fantastic stay at Kath's view. The styling and attention to detail was incredible and we loved feeling like we had stepped back in time. The view is stunning, perfect for a summer's evening bbq. There's plenty of excellent wildlife spotting to be done too, we had a wandering koala join us on the lawn and so much Birdlife! Would definitely recommend a stay here, thank you!

Beautiful views, cosy and distinctly retro

We had a comfy stay and warmed up to this quaint property. It is smaller than the photos suggest and we were surprised by the number of conditions placed around the use of the property and against the bond just before commencing our stay. As this is a small house, the kitchen is small and appliances provided are more suited to short stays. Aside from this, it is well located, easy to find and lovely to return to after a long day at the beach.

Make sure you read the description properly. The set up is not a regular home.

2 of the 3 rooms require you to walk outside the main building. The other bed is in the lounge room. The toilet and shower are located outside the main house too. It’s a cute place, but very expensive for what it is.

Like a movie set - totally unique beach house

Amazing beach pad we loved the 1950's interior and we felt like were on a movie set. We couldn't leave the deck and had BBQ's both days. House is well equipped for entertaining and location is ideal with short walk to beach & pub. Very cool beach house with beautiful views. Will def stay again.

Om værten

This house has been a passion project, as a lover of mid-century design and all things 50s/60s, I searched for years to find the perfect beach shack to house my collection of 1950s art and furniture started when I was in my early 20s and have been collecting ever since. I finally found the perfect original shack, in a prime location with no powerlines in front to spoil the ocean view and being as private as one could possibly get. This house is deeply personal named after my loved Grandmother, Kath. I’m thrilled to share it with those who seek and appreciate experiencing a unique step back in time.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

Unique position with lots of privacy surrounded by the tallest gumtrees in Wye that still exist. The wildlife you see when staying is hard to describe, the birds, a mob of Grey kangaroos in the backyard and the gorgeous birdlife, particularly the Kookaburras that land on the deck. You never know what you’ll see or experience landing just metres away when sitting on the deck. It is not in the best interests of the bird life ie Cockatoos to feed them bird seed or meat. It maybe great for the kids and getting pictures but it takes away their natural instinct to source their own food. Please refrain from this urge for their welfare.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

It is one of very few original beach shacks on the Great Ocean Rd that is still original in design and furnished as a time capsule of the 1950s. I’ve worked tirelessly on getting the house to where it is but there is still more I’d love to do and it will come in time....it’s the cosiest time capsule you’ll ever experience.

Many in my family where hoping it burnt in the 2015 Christmas Day bush fire so I could rebuild a modern beach house but I would have been devastated if it had gone. There are plenty of modern beach houses in Wye River but Kath’s View was built by legendary local builder Paddy Harrington in the 1950s and is one of a few remaining and that’s a precious thing to keep his legacy and this history in the town.

To appreciate his significance and contribution to Wye..... you can enjoy a walk along his honorary path from Wye to Separation Creek. Paddy’s Walk starts at the side of the CFA on the Boulevard just down the bottom of the hill from Kath’s View.
