About this property

Jan Juc Riviera Coastal Retreat - Made for Families

Wonderful home to share with friends and family. Light-filled living area opens onto spacious north-facing deck with views of Jan Juc's hills and overlooking backyard. Extremely child friendly - backyard with large basketball court, trampoline, and large lawn area plus a kids bedroom with toys, games & books included. Living area separate from bedrooms so kids can sleep while entertaining. Renovated to a standard for owner's regular use. Famous clifftop coastal path, surf break, cafes/pub, ovals/playground & tennis courts all within 600 metres.

The open living area is orientated to capture sunlight from morning to late afternoon. The deck is private and sheltered from the wind so you can relax, entertain and overlooks backyard so you can supervise young kids in comfort. Dining area has an 8-seater dining table, large 7-seater modular leather couch and smart TV. House is fully air-conditioned and has ceiling fans in the living area and 3 of the 4 bedrooms. Throughout the entire house are spectacular professional photos of the surrounding beaches and hills. The kitchen is fully equipped so you can have a great dinner party or BBQ. The bathroom has a bath, separate shower and toilet. There is also second bathroom attached to the laundry.

Very comfortable outdoor deck with large table seating 10 people, plus some comfy relaxing chairs to enjoy the afternoon sun. Deck is covered by commercial quality roofing so you can sit and relax even when it is sunny and hot.

Our place is great for young kids with all the fun stuff in the backyard, and toys / books. The basketball court has an inground basketball ring and proper tiling - all you need to bring is a basketball to play with (we may provide but often it does not get returned!)

Portacot, high chair, protective rails for beds and steps all provided at no extra cost.

We use regularly so look after it as best we can for our own use.

The neighbourhood is full of local families and very kid friendly.

Parking is in the long driveway, and enough for 4 cars (completely off the street).

The house is absolutely beautiful and well equipped and in a quiet location. It was great for our dog, being fully fenced and also with the ability to close off the balcony area. We had a wonderful holiday. Our only issue was we misunderstood that there was only an EV charger point which required an adaptor. Bunnings was unable to supply one but it was ok as we found fast chargers at the RACV resort in Torquay. Definitely the nicest house we’ve stayed in.

Fantastic

Throughout the booking process and the stay, the host was attentive and generous. Lots of household supplies laid on (dishwashing powder, soap, glad wrap, etc, etc) with new or near new mattresses (all super comfortable), ample pillows and cushions, couch, tv, good stove and oven, all rooms had sheer and blackout blinds, I could go on (e.g. outdoor shower great for sandy feet and kids after beach). Felt well cared for and appreciated. Would be hard to think of something that could have been done better. Lovely quiet location just a short walk to ocean walking path, large park with playground and sporting facilities or local shops, and a short drive to patrolled beach. Six adults and three chn under 12 unanimously enjoyed our stay. A very relaxing break.

Great house for family with young kids

There was everything that you needed for a family with young kids at this house, including a great selection of kids books and toys. There was a good TV and a heater in each room. There was a playground around the corner.

Great stay.

We really liked our stay at Jan Juc, the parks, beaches and locality were on point. The beds were great and just what we needed after a big day exploring. The living/dining was perfect for meal times and outside was great, nice and secure for the little kids. The house itself was a great size and made us feel secure as all the locks and doors were suitable to maintain safety while on holiday. The cooling in each room was amazing especially on the hotter nights. We will return.

Beach retreat in Jan Juc

It was a very homely place to stay with everything provided, convenient to all the amenities and beaches. The only "negative" was after a big Sat night wedding party we needed to rest but workmen came to do work on both Sun and Mon making a lot of noise on the roof and the side fence even though it was not emergency work. That was disappointing because the purpose of most holidays is to have a bit of r & r

Fantastic stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house, facilities and communication with the owner were all fantastic. The kids loved the trampoline and monkey bars and we loved the house. We had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The neighborhood is excellent with the beach and playground within a few minutes walk. Definitely recommend and we will stay again for sure!
