Relaxed in Ocean Grove. Stylish mid-century home in garden setting.
Kick off your shoes and enjoy a well-earned break at our beach house.
The beach is a 3 min drive away, the river nearby, and the great cafés, shops and restaurants of Ocean Grove are within easy walking distance. Not far are cliff-top walks, wonderful wineries, browsing at Barwon Heads, some great cycling routes, world class golf courses and exhilarating surf beaches.
The best thing to do in Ocean Grove, of course, is to enjoy the beach – walk, run, swim, surf, have a coffee overlooking or just breathe-in the fresh ocean air.
When you have finished, you have our place to relax in. Recently renovated, our place is a mid-century property with modern amenity. It's spacious, comfortably furnished and generously appointed.
Ideal for two families, or a group of friends, our house has two living areas, a large meals area, wifi, air conditioning and gas heating. There is also an open fire to relax by on a chilly night and firewood is provided.
The meals area opens onto a North facing patio which overlooks a leafy garden. The patio has an outdoor table setting and an electric Weber BBQ and is covered by a retractable awning making it a great place for alfresco dining!
The kitchen is well equipped with modern European appliances, plenty of crockery and good quality utensils for the home chef, if you are dining in. If you are dining out, then it's an easy walk (10 mins) to The Terrace with its cafes and restaurants.
We have two TVs, one for the kids and one for others, and a video library of about 30 movies. As well, you can hook-up to Netflix or similar via the Internet, if you have an account.
There are four bedrooms, two with queen size beds and ensuites, and the other two bedrooms have two single beds each (we can make up one of these rooms as a double, if you prefer).
The laundry is fully equipped with a washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board. All linen is provided - sheets, pillow slips, quilts, tea towels, towels, hand towels, face towels and bathmats. BYO beach towel, however.
Please note, that our house is a split-level house on four levels, so there are three internal staircases, each of about 4 steps. The house is therefore not suited for wheelchairs, unfortunately.
No pets, no smoking, no parties and no schoolies, thanks, but sandy feet are welcome in our beach house!
Cheers, Pete & Rose.

A perfect house for our getaway. Had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy and so was the furniture. Beautiful outdoor area too. We'll definitely be back!

Thanks Lisa, we're glad you had a great getaway. Our aim is to create a place that is comfortable and relaxing.
This is an excellent property. It is a distinctive brick house, well located, well equipped but with its own character and charm. We enjoyed the house and would stay again.

Thanks John. Glad the house worked well for you and was a good base for your golfing holiday.
We loved our stay! Very comfortable having two families of four staying here. Plenty of separate spaces for everybody at night after spending time at water sports during the day.

Thanks, Sue, for those nice comments. We're glad you had a great break.
Fabulous - very easy house to live in for a Christmas beach holiday. Well appointed, spacious and excellent outdoor amenities. We didn’t want to go home! Could not fault anything.
We loved our stay here! Peter was very communicative and accomodating and the large space, and we’ll equipped kitchen, suited our family extremely well :) We particularly enjoyed the board games provided and the extra touches on arrival. Thank you for making our stay so special!
An excellent property, very clean, well equipped and “extras” that help you feel like this is a home and not a rental. We had an amazing time, lots of space for everyone to relax.

Thanks Paul, really pleased you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again.
Peter was very happy to help with any issues but our weeks stay went seamlessly and it wasn’t necessary . The house was perfect for 4 adults and 4 kids .
The house is a great place to base yourself for a getaway. It is very spacious and comfortable. Peter was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. We would stay again.

Thanks Ed. We would be very happy to see you again.
The house was such a pleasure to spend time in, greatly appreciated its design, room layout and connection to the outside. Very considered, comfortable and clean. Walking distance to beach and shops also a bonus.
Great property which is close to the beach and has plenty of space so you never feel on top of each other. Decor is superb and there's no unnecessary clutter about the place. Nice natural light and good faclloties. Great bathrooms a pleasure to stay at.

Thanks Peter, glad you had a great break at our place.
The house was such a vibe, much bigger than we anticipated and the gardens were gorgeous, we all loved our stay so much, also Peter was so great to chat to, honestly 10/10 experience..
We stayed at Peter’s gorgeous property in Easter and enjoyed it so much that we returned for a second time. This stylishly designed house offers everything we need to comfortably accommodate 8 people. We love the double ensuite, living zones and the fully stocked kitchen. Did I mention the newly completed patio? You will not be disappointed.
This property ticks all the boxes for any individual/family/group seeking a peaceful retreat by the beach.
The home is cosy, warm and incredibly quiet with furnishings and amenities to suit all members of the family. The location of the property is fantastic. Peter and Rosemary, the hosts, are wonderful, welcoming and accommodating.
My family and I would highly recommend choosing this beautiful home for your next stay at Ocean Grove.
We had a great family weekend catch up. Very well appointed accommodation with all the comforts you need. Sadly we didn't get a chance to enjoy the fire pit, BBQ, outdoor area but that was just because we were too busy doing other things! Would not hesitate to rebook if we were looking for accommodation in the area

Thanks Peter. Glad you had a great family catch up. Should you visit Ocean Grove again, we'd be very happy to host you.
This is a super place for a family to relax. Different zones allow for a family to spend time together and also spread out. The house was extremely well serviced (everything needed and more was there) and a welcome gift sampling a local wine and beers was appreciated. Peters instructions and guidance were very helpful too! A great few days. Paul and Sue

Hi Paul and Sue,
Glad you enjoyed your stay at our place. It was great to have you stay again.
Cheers
Peter and Rosemary's place is bloody great! It's got a wonderful 70s vibe, awesomely funky and thoughtfully designed but it's also practical and functional. The layout is perfect for 2 families or groups, with options for relaxing and hanging out together or separately. Everything in the house is user friendly and the feel of the place is just lovely. It's close to the beach, around the corner from the Ocean Grove shops (incredible lolly shop near Coles, whoa!) and a short drive from Barwon Heads. Peter was fantastic to deal with, very accommodating, quick to reply and just a nice person! We'll defo be back!
