About this property

Beach Break - unwind on the Surf Coast

If you are looking for a beach or bush holiday on the beautiful Surf Coast without breaking the bank, then Beach Break at Moggs Creek is the place for you.

Set up to sleep 4 adults and 4 kids (or 8 adults as long as 4 of you don't mind bunk beds), Beach Break is a classic 1970's beach house, sympathetically updated with all traces of 'mission brown' removed.

The house borders the Angahook-Lorne State Park and there are plenty of walking and cycling tracks on the doorstep, great beaches (Moggs Creek Beach is a 5 minute walk from the front door) and good local eateries, or you might just prefer to curl up with a book on the deck, in the hammock or by the wood heater.

Beach Break has two double bedrooms (one with king size bed) and a kids room with two sets of bunk beds, with a bathroom upstairs and shower, loo and laundry downstairs. The detached garage has also been converted into a rumpus room.

The large front deck gets the morning sun, while in winter the wood heater keeps things nice and toasty inside.

There is a well equipped kitchen and plenty of room for friends around the extendable dining table. For al fresco dining there is the deck with gas bbq, or the outside bbq (wood fired) area with seating and brazier.

Beach Break is a much loved, cosy family beach house and, if you are anything like us, you won't be able to help yourself but relax once you've settled in. It has been described as everything you need, nothing you don't.

And the pricing is really simple.

Rates, exclusive of the HomeAway admin charges, are:

Standard rate $210 per night, inclusive of bed linen, towels - not beach towels - firewood and BBQ gas with a 2 night minimum stay.

School holidays and long weekends (Easter, Melbourne Cup weekend etc) are priced at $230 per night with a 2 night minimum stay.

Christmas and January school holidays is priced at $275 a night with a 5 night minimum stay.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was warm, cosy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The host was great — very helpful and always quick to communicate. We especially loved the peaceful bush surrounds. Kids loved spotting kangaroos and colourful birds and exploring the bush. A perfect getaway to unwind and enjoy nature!

Another great stay at Moggs Beach Break

We’ve had another really enjoyable stay in Adam’s great beach house. Everything that you need for a relaxing and peaceful stay is provided for you. The retro vibe is a refreshing change from other accommodation. But our time there just goes too fast. We will be back again!

Fabulous stay

Great property in a great location. Close to both Anglesea and Lorne with Aireys Inlet in the middle ! Adam was a great host and the bottle of red wine left for us was a lovely touch. Beds were comfortable and the BBQ on the front deck was fabulous on our first night. Would love to come back !

Just awesome

Loved this place! The stylish touches of vintage decor got me excited. Comfy beds, amazing fire kept us toasty for our whole stay, good shower, plenty of cds to play, beautiful feel being upstairs amongst the trees with resident kookaburras hanging out with us on the spacious deck. We loved this place and Adam was super friendly, helpful and accommodating. Will definitely come back again some day.

Perfect beach haven

Adam's place was a perfect little getaway. Cute house that was spotlessly clean and in great condition for its age. Step back in time with this delightful little gem. It had everything we needed for our stay and Adam was super helpful and always responsive. Such a quiet haven at the end of the street. We enjoyed watching the local bird life and kangaroos pass through the property. We walked to Aireys Inlet most mornings (about 45 mins) and enjoyed relaxing on the deck in the evening when we weren't dining at one of the many great local venues. With most of the living area upstairs, all windows look out to the tree canopy making you feel completely immersed in nature. We would definitely come back.

The property is in a great location. 5 mins walk to a beautiful wide long sandy beach and just 10 mins to the start of the Great Ocean Road. From Melbourne Airport it took us a a few hrs drive. Unfortunately we arrived in the dark and with no automatic outside lighting it was quite difficult in the dark to locate the lock and get into the house, so make sure you have a torch. We arrived in September and the house was extremely cold and it took 24hrs to warm up so it was comfortable. There was a bottle of wine left which was a nice touch.Although it is marketed as an original 70s house, i don't think this excuses lack of upkeep or maintenance, such as replacing chipped tiles, cleaning windows etc..also the beds were very uncomfortable and all need new mattresses. This house because of its location could be fabulous it just needs some upkeep. Lastly, just a gripe about the pricing, we requested the property at the listed price however once it was confirmed the owner increased the price, due to a big sporting event in Melbourne. On VRBO there was a min and max pricing for this property which was still exceeded. I did query this with the owner but they did not reply. So we had no choice but to pay the higher price.

Perfect quiet base close to the beach.

The place is a beautiful property surrounded by bush on three sides. Private and with a well thought out kitchen. Beds were comfy and it's just a lovely little base to go for a surf and hang out and read, write and contemplate.It could use some insect repellent for nights outside but I was glad for the flyscreens and super peaceful sleeps.

Moggs Creek peace !

The Moggs creek house is in a fabulous location, and the best thing is that the silence is deadly ! So peaceful.. the only thing you hear is the waves crashing in the distance. I would also have to say that the owner Adam is fabulous. Got back to us within minutes if we had a query. This was the second time I’ve stayed here and hopefully it won’t be the last.

Awesome spot with a great host

We had a great time in our stay in Mogg’s creek at Adam’s place. It’s a very nice quiet area but also close enough to Lorne and Aireys inlet so you can get coffee and food. The house was a very cute place with everything we needed and Adam the host was very accomodating and helpful. Would happily stay here again.

Peaceful and refreshing

What a delight to drive into this quiet and comfortable home. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Everything we needed was provided as well as a lovely surprise. Dinners on the verandah with a fabulous BBQ, breakfasts with beautiful birds, sleeping with the sound of the ocean. And only a 5 minute walk to a perfect beach. What a wonderful place to unwind and recharge the batteries. We'll be back. Many many thanks
