Blue Seashell Cottage a short walk to the beach

SUMMER IS ALWAYS A WONDERFUL TIME TO VISIT Indented Head and the Bellarine Peninsula. Sandy beaches for relaxing long walks at the water's edge, finding treasures washed up on the shore. Great food at restaurants, cafes and farm gates!

Come and relax at our modern, cozy, air-conditioned/heated 3-bedroom beach cottage. Walk to gorgeous Half Moon Bay Beach. Indented Head is a tranquil little village on the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula.

Fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Each bedroom has a Sleepmaker Queen size bed with 100 percent pure cotton bed linen. Cotton cellular blankets, Pure Wool blankets and Feather and Down quilts. Pure cotton bath towels are also included. You only need to bring your beach towel!

Open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area overlooks large deck with timber outdoor setting and gas BBQ.

Sink into a comfortable sofa or armchair, and relax with a good book or watch a movie on the flat screen TV.

The Cottage is fully self-contained. The kitchen with its gas cooktop, electric full size oven, microwave oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer and loads of pantry items for you to use allows you to cook if you desire, or eat out at one of the amazing restaurants a short drive from the cottage.

The bathroom has a deep bathtub to soak in after a big day at the beach. A separate shower recess and a separate toilet.

The Cottage is connected to the NBN providing fast internet service.

Your well-behaved pets are always welcome at Blue Seashell Cottage.

Towels are supplied especially for the dog's wet paws. Dogs can be with you inside the cottage.
