About this property
Ocean Retreat multi family stay Gas heated Pool/spa 5min walk to Ocean.
This gorgeous property is truly amazing. Situated on a 2 acre property, with a heated pool, heated spa and plenty of space inside and out for you all to spread out. Its like having your own private resort; you won't want to leave!
The Ocean Retreat is sheltered behind the sand dunes, in 2 acres of private ground.
The National Park backs on to the boundary and you can hear the ocean in the background. A footpath to the back beaches of the stunning Mornington Peninsula can be found at right next to the gate. Its just a short stroll across the dunes and you're at the ocean! The property has a country feel in an urban setting.
We are lucky enough to share our space with large amounts of wildlife in and around the property. You may be able to see Swallows nesting, wallabies hopping through the bush/dunes early in the morning or evening and often, possums running along the fence lines at dusk. We welcome you and your pets, but it is a condition of hiring the property, that none of the wildlife or any nest sites are interfered with in any way.
We are passionate about being kind and respectful to our wildlife and reducing our impact on the environment and local ecosystem. As part of this, we avoid using toxic chemicals of any kind including insect sprays.
