About this property
The Dunes Ultimate Beach House
This is the ultimate beach house, walking distance to the beach, close to golf courses, cafe's and wineries.
One of our guests said, "We had a fantastic 'Winter Escape' weekend at the Dunes. There was plenty of room for a large group of us, including 2 babies and a dog, and we had a ball. The open living/kitchen/dining space is perfect, and the log fire a real drawcard. We hope to be back soon! Thank you."
Another said ''We had an amazing time at The Dunes. The location is beautiful, the house is spacious and fantastically well appointed. We catered for large numbers and were able to do so with ease and comfort. Plus there are games, activities, seating, and decking galore. I would definitely recommend it!
The Dunes is a very spacious, beautifully furnished and decorated 2 storey casual timber beach house with all mod cons nestled amongst the tea trees but enjoying sun all day. Treeline views and only a short drive from Blairgowrie and Sorrento. Walking distance to fabulous back beaches and to die for views from the sand dunes.
Sleeps up to 18 in comfort so absolutely brilliant for that landmark celebration or for a wonderful family get to gether.
It is also often used for executive retreats and corporate team building. There are 2 huge separate lounge areas, 2 dining areas, 4 outdoor deck areas and 3 bathrooms. There is a huge and inviting open fireplace, with plenty of wood provided. Perfect for snuggling up next to with a bottle of red or a good book.
There is ample off street parking for 5 cars and even room for a boat.
Just pack your bags and arrive!
We've thought of everything. There are books galore, toys, massive bean bags and DVD's for the kids. The upstairs rumpus room is enormous and great for groups of people wanting to chill out and getaway from it all or for the kids to run around in.
They will never want to leave, there is also an outdoor table tennis table down in the back garden and a Foosball table.
There is tea, coffee and sugar provided plus all the little things that make a difference like, oil, vinegar plus kitchen necessities.
The supermarket in Blairgowrie is very well stocked with loads of fantastic deli items and the closest convenience store is 1k away.
You can walk to the back beach from the house in less than 10 minutes, through the National park. It's a great surf beach and at low tide the rockpools provide endless hours of entertainment for the kids - they are even big enough to jump in. This local beach even has a huge sand dune to climb up and run down. The views from the top are nothing short of spectacular
Ideal for family and friend get- to- gethers
The Dunes is huge! There is ample room for 3 or 4 families or a group of people sharing.
Downstairs there are 2 bedrooms. One large king size room and another with 2 king singles which can be zipped together to make a king bed.
A modern kitchen and dining area overlooking a sunken lounge which leads to a second dining area and an outside entertaining area with seating for alfresco dining for 18
Downstairs there are also two beautiful bathrooms, (one with a bath) plus an outdoor shower.
Upstairs there is another king bedroom with a tri-bunk (a double bed on the bottom and a single on top) in the same room, one twin room with 2 single beds and one enormous bedroom with 3 sets of bunks, one of them a further tri-bunk. There is also another bathroom upstairs with a hip bath and shower.
All beds have doonas and pillows, just bring your own linen (top and bottom sheets, pillowcases and towels). Alternatively linen and towels can be provided at a cost of $60 per single bed and $80 per double or king (per booking).
There is also a very large second sitting/rumpus room upstairs.
There are 4 sofas in the house, so plenty of room for all to sit and relax.
Sleeping arrangements in summary:
Bedroom 1King bed
Bedroom 2 King bed OR 2 king singles
Bedroom 3 King bed and 1 tri-bunk (bottom bunk is a double bed)
Bedroom 4 2 single beds
Bedroom 5 3 sets of bunks (1 is a tri-bunk)
