About this property

Haleia | Luxury Sea Views | Direct Beach Access

Perched on the clifftop above Smiths Beach, Haleia is Phillip Island’s most unique and breathtaking stay. With panoramic ocean views, direct beach access, outdoor dining, a hot-tub & two outdoor showers, it’s a luxury escape designed for peace and presence.

Exhale the moment you enter. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sea.

Family friendly with 5 bedrooms (3 w/ ensuites), 2 living areas, cosy upstairs fireplace, Gaggenau kitchen appliances & Italian tiles.

Pure coastal calm.

The space

Upstairs Living & Panoramic Views

Haleia's open-plan upper level is the heart of the home - a spacious, light-filled sanctuary where floor-to-ceiling windows span the entire width of the house, framing uninterrupted views of the ocean, cliffs, and landscape. This level is thoughtfully divided into four distinct zones:
• A living area with plush sofas, a fireplace (wood, kindling, and firelighters provided) board games and a smart TV.
• A dining area featuring a striking, natural tree-trunk table seating 12 - perfect for long, shared meals.
• A reading/viewing nook with four sheepskin-lined high-back chairs and ottomans placed directly in front of the view - a place to watch surfers, weather, sunsets, and farmland merge with the sea.

Every inch is designed for calm and connection - to nature, to one another, and to the rhythm of the coastline.


Downstairs Wellness & Leisure

Start your day with yoga in front of the windows or on the deck, with the sea as your backdrop.

A second, expansive downstairs living area includes a ping-pong table, dumbbell weights to stay active, and a large lounge area with 82" smart TV - all with expansive views across the cliff top and ocean.


The Beach

Step out your back gate and down a private, gently sloping cliffside path directly onto Smiths Beach, one of Victoria’s most spectacular and family-friendly stretches of coastline.

Known for its soft sand, incredible surf, and natural rock pools, it’s perfect for swimming, body surfing, or exploring with little ones. At low tide, stroll over to YCW Beach - another gem just around the rocks. After your beach adventures, rinse off in one of two outdoor rain showers, or slide into the hot spa to unwind.


Outdoor Spa & Relaxation Zone

Soak in the 6-person outdoor spa, or gather in the sunken outdoor lounge for a game on the all-weather TV. Two outdoor rain showers offer refreshing post-beach bliss. Finally, relax on the back deck with a glass of wine overlooking the landscape and ocean views.


The Location

Situated on Phillip Island’s southern coastline, Smiths Beach faces the Bass Strait and offers direct access to everything the island has to offer. A 3-minute walk takes you to a local café for great coffee and food, as well as the legendary Island Surf Shop & School.

The famous Phillip Island Circuit and the Phillip Island Winery are 5 minutes by car. Cowes is just 10 minutes by car, as are the Penguin Parade, Nobbies and most local attractions - all within easy reach, yet peacefully distant.


Kitchen

A fully equipped chef’s kitchen with designer stone benchtops and premium appliances, including a Gaggenau oven and cooktop, Liebherr fridge, and filtered water tap. The spacious butler’s pantry includes a second Liebherr fridge w/freezer, Gaggenau in-bench steamer, and Nespresso machine with pods provided. You’ll also find a microwave, sandwich press, toaster, kettle, tea and coffee, and all the cookware you need to prepare and serve meals in style.


Bedrooms
• Master Suite: Queen bed, ensuite (w/ bath & dual vanities), ocean views, walk-in robe.
• Bedroom 2: Queen bed, ensuite, upstairs near master.
• Bedroom 3: Queen bed, ensuite access to main bathroom, located downstairs.
• Bedroom 4: Queen bed, downstairs with private outdoor access.
• Bedroom 5: Bunk room with 2x double/single bunk beds — sleeps 6. Perfect for kids.


Outdoor Dining

Surrounded by architecturally landscaped gardens, Haleia’s outdoor areas are just as special as what’s inside. Enjoy the Mediterranean-style dining courtyard, complete with a Gaggenau built-in BBQ, full sink, concrete dining table for 10, and outdoor Sonos speakers. On the ocean facing deck, you’ll find curved couple’s relaxation chairs nestled into the garden overlooking the Bass Strait — a perfect spot for a glass of wine and a quiet moment as the sun sets.

• 6 adult spa/jacuzzi
• Full home automation with Sonos sound system (ceiling speakers throughout the living areas, master bedroom, and outdoor areas)
• Wall-mounted iPad control system for windows, blinds, music and more

About the host

Hosted by Sam

Host profile image
We’re a family of seven — two parents and five kids — who love the Aussie beach lifestyle, exploring nature, and discovering local experiences in beautiful places. Travel and new adventures are a big part of our lives, and we’ve always been drawn to the kind of places that offer both peace and inspiration. Hosting is our way of sharing a space we’ve poured our hearts into — one that celebrates the coast, encourages connection, and gives others the kind of grounding experience we value most when we travel.

Why they chose this property

Smiths Beach has always felt special to us. It’s a place where raw natural beauty and ease of living come together. The moment we entered the house and looked out over the ocean, we knew this was the spot. The beach is incredible — family-friendly, with world-class surf, rock pools for the kids, and ever-changing views that never get old. You can walk to the local surf shop, grab a coffee, or just spend your day watching the tides roll in. It’s peaceful, yet close to everything — the perfect balance.

What makes this property unique

Haleia Retreat is unlike any other home on Phillip Island. It’s perched high above Smiths Beach with direct beach access and some of the most breathtaking views in Victoria. Every room has been designed to connect with nature — from the floor-to-ceiling windows that span the entire width of the house, to the outdoor spa, yoga spaces, and Mediterranean-inspired garden dining. The home itself blends high-end luxury (Gaggenau appliances, Italian tiles, full automation) with warmth and wellness. It’s a space to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel totally at ease — whether you’re watching the surf, reading by the fire, or cooking a long dinner with family.
