About this property

Relaxed in Ocean Grove. Stylish mid-century home in garden setting.

Kick off your shoes and enjoy a well-earned break at our beach house.
The beach is a 3 min drive away, the river nearby, and the great cafés, shops and restaurants of Ocean Grove are within easy walking distance. Not far are cliff-top walks, wonderful wineries, browsing at Barwon Heads, world class golf courses and exhilarating surf beaches.
The best thing to do in Ocean Grove, of course, is to enjoy the beach – walk, run, swim, surf, have a coffee overlooking or just breathe-in the fresh ocean air.
When you have finished, you have our place to relax in. Recently renovated, our place echoes the 70s, but with modern amenity. It's spacious, comfortably furnished and generously appointed.
Ideal for two families, or a group of friends, our house has two living areas, a large meals area, wifi, air conditioning and gas heating. There is also an open fire to relax by on a chilly night and firewood is provided.
The meals area opens onto a North facing patio which overlooks a leafy garden. The patio has an outdoor table setting and an electric Weber BBQ and is covered by a retractable awning making it a great place for alfresco dining!
The kitchen is well equipped with modern European appliances, plenty of crockery and good quality utensils for the home chef, if you are dining in. If you are dining out, then it's an easy walk (10 mins) to The Terrace with its cafes and restaurants.
We have two TVs, one for the kids and one for others, and a video library of about 30 movies. As well, you can hook-up to Netflix or similar via the Internet, if you have an account.
There are four bedrooms, two with queen size beds and ensuites, and the other two bedrooms have two single beds each (we can make up one of these rooms as a double if you prefer).
The laundry is fully equipped with a washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board.
All linen is provided - sheets, pillow slips, quilts, tea towels, towels, hand towels, face towels and bathmats. BYO beach towel, however.
Please note, that our house is a split-level house on four levels, so there are three internal staircases, each of about 4 steps. The house is therefore not suited for wheelchairs, unfortunately.
No pets, no smoking, no parties and no schoolies, thanks, but sandy feet are welcome in our beach house! Cheers, Pete & Rose.

Another enjoyable stay…
We stayed at Peter’s gorgeous property in Easter and enjoyed it so much that we returned for a second time. This stylishly designed house offers everything we need to comfortably accommodate 8 people. We love the double ensuite, living zones and the fully stocked kitchen. Did I mention the newly completed patio? You will not be disappointed.

This property ticks all the boxes for any individual/family/group seeking a peaceful retreat by the beach. The home is cosy, warm and incredibly quiet with furnishings and amenities to suit all members of the family. The location of the property is fantastic. Peter and Rosemary, the hosts, are wonderful, welcoming and accommodating. My family and I would highly recommend choosing this beautiful home for your next stay at Ocean Grove.

A Great Place to Stay in Ocean Grove
We had a great family weekend catch up. Very well appointed accommodation with all the comforts you need. Sadly we didn't get a chance to enjoy the fire pit, BBQ, outdoor area but that was just because we were too busy doing other things! Would not hesitate to rebook if we were looking for accommodation in the area

Relaxing winter break
This is a super place for a family to relax. Different zones allow for a family to spend time together and also spread out. The house was extremely well serviced (everything needed and more was there) and a welcome gift sampling a local wine and beers was appreciated. Peters instructions and guidance were very helpful too! A great few days. Paul and Sue

Comfort and stylishly retro!
What a spectacular property! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the architecturally designed interiors and stylish mid century inspired furnishings! The house is equipped with all the necessities to make a very comfortable and cozy stay. Peter, the owner was very informative and attentive. This is one of the best places we’ve stayed at - dual ensuites is an absolute luxury and the kitchen is fully equipped with quality utensils, appliances and all the crockery you’ll ever need. A wander through the extensive garden is another delight ending with a surprising fire pit area perfect for some wine enjoyment at the end of a long day at the beach. We cannot speak more highly of this place. We would love to return again in the near future! Thanks for having us, Peter!

Gorgeous, easy house with loads of room to move!
Peter and Rosemary's place is bloody great! It's got a wonderful 70s vibe, awesomely funky and thoughtfully designed but it's also practical and functional. The layout is perfect for 2 families or groups, with options for relaxing and hanging out together or separately. Everything in the house is user friendly and the feel of the place is just lovely. It's close to the beach, around the corner from the Ocean Grove shops (incredible lolly shop near Coles, whoa!) and a short drive from Barwon Heads. Peter was fantastic to deal with, very accommodating, quick to reply and just a nice person! We'll defo be back!

Modernist style getaway
My family of 4 and friends stayed for the second time and thoroughly enjoyed all this house has to offer. After a day at the local beach we showered outside and sat and enjoyed the entertaining area. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spotless and this end of the house is very quiet. Kitchen and appliances well set up for cooking in which we did mostly. Absolutely love this quiet road and house ! Will come back a third time. Thanks to Peter and Rose - such accommodating hosts.
