About this property
Bayview Cottage Serene Escape between Beach and Bay
Perfectly placed between the calm shores of Blairgowrie Beach and the dramatic beauty of Bridgewater Bay, this retreat offers relaxed coastal living. Inside, rest in the sunlit living area or stay focused at the dedicated workspaces. Cook meals in the sleek kitchen or fire up the BBQ on the balcony while catching glimpses of the bay. With a spacious backyard and year-round comfort from split-system heating and cooling, this is the ideal base, just a short stroll to Blairgowrie’s beach and shops. Elevated above a lush backyard and nestled among native trees, this retreat combines a light-filled layout with seamless indoor-outdoor flow, all wrapped in classic mid-century lines and timeless white weatherboards. Upstairs, the living area features a soft sofa, curated artwork, and a TV—ideal for cosy movie nights. Curl up on the armchair by the sunlit window or sip morning coffee on the breezy balcony just off the lounge.
Prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring an oven, dishwasher, Nespresso machine, and a breakfast bar for casual bites. Gather around the six-seater dining table, where coastal artwork and leafy views create a perfect backdrop for lingering meals. Step onto the covered balcony to catch glimpses of the bay and breathe in the scent of eucalyptus, with a BBQ set up for easy grilling in a peaceful setting.
All three carpeted bedrooms are located at the rear of the upper level, each styled with leafy outlooks and open shelving with basket storage to keep things tidy. The primary bedroom features a queen bed, layered in fresh linen, for a restful sleep. The other two options offer flexible layouts, one featuring a queen bed, and the other a double-single bunk and a separate single bed, both equipped with study desks, ideal for reading or remote work. Refresh in the upstairs bathroom with a walk-in shower, timber vanity, and a separate toilet for added convenience. On the lower level, a full laundry with a washer, dryer, and high chair sits alongside a second toilet—practical touches for families or longer stays.
The fully fenced backyard is framed by native grasses, offering a safe and spacious play area for kids and pets. A sun-drenched daybed invites lazy afternoons under the trees, while a bistro-style table and chairs provide a quiet perch for morning coffee. Under the house, a ping pong table adds a touch of laid-back fun. Off-street parking is available for three cars in the carport. Year-round comfort is ensured with portable fans, a split-system air conditioner and heater in the living area, and portable heaters in each bedroom and the bathroom. During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
Perfectly positioned between the calm waters of Blairgowrie Beach and the dramatic coastline of Bridgewater Bay, this retreat is a gateway to the best of the Mornington Peninsula. Take a leisurely ten-minute stroll to the front beach for a swim or seaside picnic, then wander along the sand to Blairgowrie Pier, a local favourite for snorkelling. Treat yourself to a beachfront brunch and smooth coffee at Blairgowrie Café, savour the famous fried kway teow at Blue Fin, or enjoy handmade Italian pizza at Amare Cucina. Just six minutes away, catch a surf break at Diamond Bay or delve into local history at the Sorrento Museum. For a day on the green, The Dunes Golf Links is only 11 minutes away, while Point Nepean National Park—just 16 minutes from the doorstep—offers sweeping coastal trails, beaches, and cycling paths to explore.
