About this property

The Boat House - Barwon Heads

The Boat House is a bright and beautiful beach house exuding warmth and comfort in the heart of Barwon Heads. It's the perfect family home away from home.

The bright and luxuriously comfortable open plan living and dining area is a beautiful place to unwind after a day at the beach.

The well-equipped kitchen includes an electric oven and gas stove, stainless steel fridge-freezer, dishdrawer dishwasher, coffee machine, kettle, toaster and all the cooking equipment and utensils for the avid home cook. Should you opt to eat out, there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

The house opens out onto a large sunny deck with BBQ and outdoor lounge setting to relax and a drink on those warm Barwon evenings. There's also an outdoor shower and a deliciously deep claw foot bath with hot and cold water.

The main bedroom has a queen size bed with an ensuite. The second room has two single beds and the third bedroom had has two singles which can be pushed together to make a queen bed (please advise on booking if this is required).

The 'fourth bedroom' is a very cool refurbished 1970's Franklin caravan in my backyard which has a queen size bed and small kitchenette which is available for use.

We also have a kids hang out room in the shed which has its own tv and loads of beanbags. This room also has a bed which can be used as a single or pulled out to make a queen.

The laundry is fully equipped with washing machine, dryer and clothes line.

The main bedroom has its own ensuite and the second bathroom features a bath with a shower. The toilet room has separate access.

The house also has everything you need for children as we have our own, so just bring yourselves as everything from toys and books to portacots, baby bath and high chairs are available.

The entire property has wifi connectivity. All the streaming services are available along with a comprehensive dvd library.

Parking is available on the property and there is ample parking on the street.

Minimum of 7 night stay during peak periods and minimum of 3 night stay during off peak periods. This house is my principal place of residence but if you are interested in booking it outside of peak periods, please get in touch as it is very possible that it can be made available for you.

Interaction with Guests

Beautiful home away from home.
We had a really lovely stay at the boathouse. The property was clean and had many additional items to make our stay very comfortable and fun. We even had beautiful fresh flowers placed in two spaces. Definitely recommend for a relaxing stay in Barwon Heads.

Quiet Oasis
Great house for families to stay with lots of different areas to have your own space! The house has two outdoor seating areas for meals or relaxing and also a large area inside for eating and relaxing. There is three good size bedrooms inside and then options with the caravan and play room/bedroom outside. We traveled with our dog and love the area as it is so close to the community park and a short walk through to the Main Street to grab a coffee. Walking distance to do everything but also far enough away from the hustle of all the other visitors to Barwon Heads!

Beautiful Barwon home.
A beautiful house perfectly located for kids right near the skate park and tennis courts. Short walk into town and beach. The house is beautifully decorated with lots of interesting things to look at, books to read and space to relax. The garden has a number of areas to sit and we loved the outdoor bath and shower. Teenage kids enjoyed staying in the caravan and the bungalow. Had a wonderful family holiday and would highly recommended. Skye was lovely to deal with and always responded quickly.

Beautiful Family Retreat
Our family just loved this comfortable, spacious, relaxed house perfect for a family get together. The living area was beautifully decorated and the good sized, well equipped kitchen was great for 2 or 3 of us to work in at once.During our stay we had one day where the temperatures reached 39 degrees, so the air conditioning came in very handy.There were plenty of toys and books for our young children, and an easy walk up to the playground. The nearby shopping centre was also very appealing. We would love to return here again some time.
