Cosy Rye Gowrie Coastal Cottage – Retreat by the Foreshore

YOUR RYE GOWRIE COASTAL ESCAPE

Nestled in the highly sought-after Rye Gowrie pocket — halfway between Rye and Blairgowrie — this light-filled, freshly renovated beach cottage is your all-season sanctuary. Just 700 metres from the calm waters of Tyrone Foreshore and a short drive to the dramatic surf of Number 16 back beach, you’re perfectly placed to enjoy the Mornington Peninsula’s best beaches, coastal trails, golf courses, wineries, and hot springs.

Whether your days are filled with summer swims, autumn wine tastings, spring markets, or winter soaks in the geothermal springs, this home welcomes you back with warmth, comfort, and thoughtful touches that make it more than just a place to stay — it’s a place to unwind.

ARRIVE AND IMMEDIATELY RELAX

From the moment you arrive, the tone is set for a slower pace. A generous driveway and off-street parking mean there’s no stress about space, and the leafy front garden frames the home with a sense of privacy. Step inside to freshly painted interiors, coastal-inspired décor, and the kind of layout that makes holiday living easy.

In winter, you’ll feel the pull of the fireplace as the heart of the home — the perfect spot to gather after a bracing beach walk or a long soak in the nearby hot springs. In summer, open the windows and let the sea breeze flow through as you drift between the living room, decks, and gardens.

LIVING & DINING SPACES DESIGNED FOR COMFORT

The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space is filled with natural light thanks to large windows overlooking the gardens. It’s a space made for connection — family dinners, lazy breakfasts, or quiet evenings curled up with a book.
- Fireplace to keep the space cosy in cooler months
- Smart TV for movies, streaming, or catching up on your favourite shows
- Comfortable lounges and plenty of seating for your group
- Air conditioning for warmer days
- Large dining table for meals or board games

A KITCHEN MADE FOR HOLIDAY FEASTS

Cooking on holiday is easy when the kitchen is this well equipped. Recently renovated, it has everything you need whether you’re throwing together a quick breakfast or preparing a long, slow lunch with produce from the farm gates and markets.
- Oven & cooktop
- Microwave
- Dishwasher
- Coffee machine & kettle
- Air fryer & NutriBullet
- Toaster
- Ample crockery, cutlery, glassware, and cookware

Picture winter evenings where the aroma of a simmering stew fills the room, or summer mornings with fresh coffee sipped on the deck before heading to the beach.
