About this property

The White Beach House

In a calm and private, tree lined cul de sac of old Barwon Heads, The White Beach House is a light filled, spacious and exceptionally elegant holiday home moments walk to the water, shops and cafes.

Architecturally designed to capture the essence of a traditional timber-lined boathouse and furnished with the attention to detail and style of a boutique hotel; it is simple elegance on a grand scale and is a perfect place for a special holiday with family and friends.

Please be aware that the house is not available for functions, parties or events. We rent for accommodation purposes only. This policy is strictly enforced by our local house manager.

The Feel
To ensure that your stay at The White Beach House is as memorable and enjoyable as possible, all of the furniture, soft furnishing, linens, towels and ceramics have been carefully sourced from a company who specialise in creating exclusive boutique hotels in Bali.

This is evident in all of the details; from the stunning oversized teak furniture, cool ‘spa’ inspired accent colours, enormous dining table, 400 tc sheets, 5 star hotel quality mattresses and pillows.

Everything in The White Beach House has been carefully selected for comfort, function and style.

The double storey holiday home includes 3 distinctly separate living areas on the ground floor to ensure a calm and relaxing holiday.

The large, elegant living room is perfect for entertaining as it opens out onto two sides; a wide wooden veranda on the front and into a central courtyard and garden. The vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, generous sofas and clean modern lines provide a stylish and luxurious space to relax and entertain in. In winter the wood fire adds to the charm and appeal of this space.

There are 5 bedrooms in total. The Master ensuite is a large room with a superking sized four-poster bed, walk-in robes, a built-in office space and a balcony that leads out to views of the Barwon River. The ensuite bathroom has a large bath and rainshower.

There are then 2 bedrooms with King Beds and 2 bedrooms with 2 large single beds and a trundle in each enabling a 3rd person to stay. There are 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets servicing these 4 rooms. There is a fully equipped laundry with top of the range washer and dryer.

The 3 meter long Dining Table easily seats 14 and opens out directly onto the central courtyard

The large television rumpus room with modular seating and large flatscreen tv provides another separate space for kids to play or a separate group to relax. Portable Bose ipod speakers enable you to move the music from room to room.

A beautiful home

We were a group of 8 women, we thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities of this lovely home. Space aplenty, close access to the beach and town. Dined in both nights, the kitchen is well stocked & dining table large enough for an even larger group. Do grab a squishy from Starfish Cafe.

One of the nicest homes we’ve stayed in

Beautiful home, tastefully decorated and furnished with quality fittings and everything you need for a luxury stay. The host was very good with communication. Walk to the Main Street with so many cafes and ready to choose from and lots of lovely shops. Highly recommend this property. This was our second stay and we’ll be back.

Just Perfect

My sister and I, along with our children, were in town for a family event. This house was our haven, our escape from outside. The photos do not do it justice, given the expanse of this home. We truly felt at peace here - it has a beautiful feel, in the way its appointed, furnished, and laid out. An extremely liveable home for a couple of families. Just perfect!

We loved the White Beach House

The White Beach House is in a great location close to the main streets and the beach. We were a group of nine, and there were plenty of lovely spaces for us all to congregate in. We loved the outside courtyard and bi-fold doors. The house is set up to cater to a large group with plenty of glasses, crockery, and other kitchen needs. A beautiful space to spend a weekend with friends.

Beautiful house in a great location

The White Beach House is easily the best house we’ve ever stayed in. My family was there with me for part of the week, and girlfriends for the rest. Everyone loved it, and some of my friends plan to book it in future. The house is stunning and stylish, spacious, well-equipped, sunny, very comfortable and impeccably clean - impressive for how much there is to clean. While it’s in a very quiet spot, everything is within v short walking distance - the Barwon river, the shops and restaurants, even the walk up and over the bluff is easy. Except for when we went winery hopping and lunching, we didn’t need to get in the car. A very relaxing and fun week. And the people in charge of the property are lovely and easy to deal with. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend.

Amazing Home

First reaction on entering The White House is “WOW” - such a beautiful home. So much living space and everything you need is there. Katrina and Sara were lovely to deal with, nothing was a problem. House is in a great location and can walk to shops and beach. Would definitely stay again - my adult children didn’t want to leave the house .

Beautiful property with an on point location.

The White Beach House was perfect for our stay with friends. We had 5 kids range from 5 to 12years old. Spacious living areas, outdoors for those great Aussie cricket games. So close to the river, shops and we even walked to the ocean grove beach spots. Highly recommended.
