Iluka Bach is a lovingly reimagined 1960s beach bungalow perched above the Otway Coast hamlet of Wye River. With sweeping coastal views, vibrant interiors and an effortless blend of nostalgia and modern comfort, it’s the perfect escape for couples, friends or small families. Sunrises, sunsets and the surrounding bushland set the tone for slow, colourful days by the sea.
Bathed in natural beauty, the home offers sweeping coastal views that glow with gentle sunrises and colourful sunsets. Originally a late-1960s beach bungalow, it has been completely reimagined within its modest two-bedroom footprint, retaining the nostalgic charm of classic Australian beach shacks while embracing thoughtful modern design.
Inside, a clever redesign has introduced an ensuite to the master bedroom, a brand-new kitchen equipped for cooking feasts, and a fully renovated second bathroom, separate toilet and Euro-style laundry for added convenience. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors invite the coastal outlook into every room and open onto an expansive wraparound deck. Partially undercover, this outdoor space is ideal for shaded summer lunches or cosy, sheltered moments with an early-morning coffee.
Comfort is considered in every detail, with split-system heating and cooling in each room and a wood-burner fireplace adding warmth and atmosphere to the living space. A Samsung Serif TV, Marshall Bluetooth speaker, board games and a curated book library ensure relaxation indoors, while a garden path leads to the private sauna with a hot/cold outdoor shower. Playful, colourful and beautifully restored, Iluka Bach is the perfect place to unwind.
