Welcome to 'The Nook' named after the nostalgic weatherboard frontage the new owners so adore. With a fully enclosed backyard, an open an light filled living space and a cosy log fire, 'The Nook' is the perfect retreat whether you are travelling in Summer or Winter. The house retains its rustic charm but has all the mod cons you needs - the perfect base for a relaxing and carefree stay. Only a two minute walk to the Main Street, coffee shops, supermarket and Robe's beaches.
The property is in a private location while being close to the village conveniences. Take an easy wander down the main street for shopping, cafes, restaurants and cellar doors – or soak in the spectacular coastline along one of the walking paths. With outstanding local wineries and beaches to explore, a fascinating history, fresh seafood to sample, adventures aplenty and so much more – your stay can include as much or as little activity as you like.
The home is suitable for couples, a getaway with friends, a bigger family or even the solo traveler.
Some of our favourites:
• Savour a warm sticky bun at The Attic House
• Visit the iconic Cape Dombey Obelisk (for the perfect Robe photo)
• Get your caffeine hit from a locally roasted Mahalia coffee
• Enjoy a local beer or wine at the Cally (Caledonian Inn)
• A long lunch at Sails (the lobster thermidor pie or a crayfish is a must)
• If you’re here in summer, enter a team in twilight lawn bowls (bonus: the club has the best view in Robe)
• Take in live music at one of a few venues in town – the Cally, Robe Hotel
or Woodsoak Wines often have local artists playing
• Take a drive along Long Beach – it’s 14km of perfection – or head over to
West Beach for a more rugged coastline.
However you spend your time in Robe, we hope you enjoy your stay at 'The Nook' and have a chance to unwind.

PET POLICY
We love dogs here but there are some basic rules:
We do not allow puppies
Dogs are allowed indoors but are not allowed in bedrooms, on carpets, beds or furniture.
Do not allow your wet dog in the house, this can leave a lingering smell in the house that is difficult to remove. Penalties will apply.
Dogs barking frequently or for extended periods is not acceptable . All dogs bark occasionally, including mine, but it is your responsibility to control your dog and ignoring them until they stop is not an option.
BYO blanket/bed for your dog to sleep.
The towels in the bathroom are for humans only.
Please report any accidents so I can ensure they are cleaned up properly – this will be at the expense of the guest.
If your dog sheds hair then there is a vacuum cleaner in the laundry to clean it up before leaving.
Dogs must not be left on their own in the house.
