Built by a builder for his own family, this fantastic family residence has been thoughtfully designed to take advantage of it's position overlooking the ocean, resulting in a light- filled home that's cool and inviting in summer and cosy in winter. It utilises gorgeous open-plan living, superb entertaining space and an exquisite fusion of natural timber and glass to create a unique space that simply works.
With the surf beach just a short stroll away, and the walking tracks of the Otway Ranges National Park right on your doorstep, this house is the ideal base for a restful break.
Busy days will be complemented by restful evenings watching the magic of yet another ruby sunset unfold before you. Native birds are frequent visitors to the deck and you may even spot a koala or two in the adjacent trees that embrace the property.
The open-plan kitchen with its wide stone benches offers all the modern appliances you'd expect to find in a contemporary kitchen, making entertaining a breeze. If you don't feel like cooking, however, the township of Wye River offers traditional pub meals and a General Store and Cafe that does a fantastic breakfast and lunch.
Wye River really is the ultimate destination along the Great Ocean Road- it's a relaxed and peaceful sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of city living- yet it's also just a short drive from the charm and convenience of Lorne,

Superb house, we had such a lovely time! But please fix the fridge that beeps every time you open it. Also, It took us a few days to find the cupboard with the vacuum cleaner, consider marking the cupboard or mention where it is on the Wi-Fi information sheet or check-in information. Thanks so much for a fantastic stay!!!
Very spacious and clean. Well equiped kitchen. Beautiful panoramic ocean views. Walking distance to the shops but a significantly steep road to get back up to the property (totally fine for us but may require driving rather than walking for those less mobile). Host Jack was lovely to deal with and very responsive. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Great place to stay. Spectacular views, clean with plenty of amenities. Beds very comfortable and great living space to prepare and share food and drink with friends. Thanks
Great communication with the host. The house was spotlessly clean. It’s an amazing house with incredible views of the ocean and a sensible layout. The appliances were high quality and the location was stunning. We saw kangaroos, king parrots, cockatoos and crimson rosellas all from the huge deck. We’d love to stay there again but next time for a bit longer.
Excellent house for a family stay - great location
Wonderful house with fantastic views and good facilities. Communication with the property manager was excellent with prompt responses.Would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay at Wye Solace. A great house with lots of space and comfort for a family holiday. We loved the location, the view, the spacious deck, and everything the house had to offer. We even spotted koalas in the nearby trees. Thank you!
Amazing views of sea, stars, dolphins and kangaroos. Loved location and upstairs living area had everything we needed. Very enjoyable stay .

Wedding Weekend
Our family stayed in this beautiful home for our son’s wedding weekend at Wye River. The house was beautiful, wonderful views and easily accommodated our grown family of four children and parents. The groom and groomsmen used the house for pre wedding dressing and preparation and it was perfect.
Loved our stay -the views are incredible. Great property and well maintained. Excellent heating and lots of room. Short walk down the hill to beach, shop and pub. Owner is an excellent communicator. Highly recommend.
Very comfortable house worked perfectly for our family Christmas. The views are stunning and it was a great place to reconnect. I had read other comments on a lack of amenities but we found the house well stocked with kitchen supplies. Jack was a great host and was very accommodating when it took us a bit longer to check out which I was very grateful for. We loved it.
Superb ocean view location, well appointed and maintained property. A remarkable experience, amplified by extraordinary weather, surf and local choice of cuisine. A big thanks to the property management team for making our stay so easy. Looking forward to our return in 2024!
Large house, really good view and very good amenities in the house. We had some rain whilst we were there, so the garage was amazing for getting kids/stuff out of car.
The house is in a beautiful location, high up over Wye River, with most rooms having ocean views and some even having access to the huge terrace. Well equipped and maintained with everything you might need for a family holiday, from outdoor shower to games and books and a great BBQ on the terrace.Only slight problem is that you can’t access the property without climbing some stairs or steps.We are sure to return
The family stayed here for a weekend. Could not fault anything. Only issue was getting check in information. Not a real issue as we received it on the day we arrived. Would have felt more comfortable if we knew the day before.
Stunning property with a magnificent view.
Beautiful house in a superb location - peaceful and private, stunning views, walking distance to beach, general store and hotel.
The house was very spacious, clean and well equipped - perfect for a multigeneration family holiday.
If you like hiking there is a fantastic bush walk that starts almost opposite the driveway and takes you through to Kennett River.
Excellent communication with host, all instructions clear, offered a late checkout.
Cant wait for an opportunity to rebook!
This is truly a beautiful property in a great location. There was ample room for what we needed and amazing views from the balcony. The only issue was the insects and crickets, the crickets started coming out of the drain in the main shower and alot of them through the house. We tried to get rid of the crickets but they kept coming back and even got into some of the bedrooms.
