About this property

Architect Designed House Nestled in the Dunes

This architect-designed, eco-friendly property has been featured in magazines for its unique design, gorgeous sense of minimalist style and unique art works. This is the perfect holiday home for relaxing to the sounds of the way crashing on Goolwa Beach, in a spacious, light-filled, contemporary beach house.

Just walk out the back gate and you are on the path through the sand dunes to the beach. With outdoor living spaces at both the front and rear of the property, you can enjoy the outdoors at any time of the day.

The property features three queen beds in separate rooms (sleeping 6 guests), two bathrooms and an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space. This is the perfect adults retreat, though kids are welcome too! Throw open the big sliding doors and enjoy the indoor/outdoor beach vibe.

There is a combustion stove for wood fire ambience in winter plus RC Air Conditioning for both summer and winter comfort. Entertainment options include a big-screen TV with a DVD player, Apple TV with access to Netflix (self-login) and Stan (guests can log in to their own account if they have one) and fast NBN WiFi.

Interesting home in Private location amongst the dunes
A very relaxing environment in a very pleasant setting. Although the design of the house is very attractive the general maintenance requires attention e.g downlight not working in the main bedroom, the hot plates were in not up to par (the self ignition did not work) and the oven was not user friendly. The standard of cleaning needs improvement in the kitchen - handles and cupboard doors were sticky and there was no evidence that the freezer had been cleaned in recent times.

The Beach Getaway
The property was big enough for our family beach getaway. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We took our dogs who loved the access to the beach at the back of the property. We will stay again.
