Nothing says ‘Escape’ more than a luxury pad with jaw-dropping views across Bass Strait. Bass Dreaming is aptly named – a dreamy location just a short walk to beautiful Skenes Creek beach and a dream of a home that will help you unwind and get on the road to rediscovery.
Superb entertaining facilities abound with a butler pantry spilling out to an open-plan kitchen that will speak to the home chef at your party. Tastefully decorated and furnished with an eye for design.
The Space:
This wonderful coastal retreat has four beautifully appointed bedrooms – the master with ensuite and its own ocean views – together with a range of comfortable break-out areas in which to relax. Find yourself in front of the open fire enjoying a glass of red watching the wind whip the ocean, taking in some well-earned Vitamin D on the deep balcony that encircles the house, or retiring to the quiet garden area where steaks are sizzling on the barbecue.
Nothing is overlooked at Bass Dreaming. This is an escape that fits the setting beautifully. You deserve it.

Comfortable house and bed, heater in each room, everything you would need in the kitchen, good view and the covered deck was fabulous. Shower water pressure was average tho and there was no washing machine (unless we overlooked it).
