About this property
Birregurra Escape Private Getaway. 2acre property close to Brae and Lorne
Situated just outside the town of Birregurra and only 3km from award winning Brae restaurant. Our 2 bedroom architecturally designed home sits on 2.5 acres of native gardens, vegetable beds, fruit trees and grassy areas and is surrounded by farmland on all sides, with a long sweeping view to the Otways.
The house is arranged so that 2 bedrooms are at opposite ends of the house and each has an ensuite bathroom. One bedroom has a queen futon bed, the other a double with an osteopaedic mattress. If needed and on request, there is a spare double futon mattress and linen for the living room floor (although bathroom access is via either bedroom so this may not suit all groups). We also have a portable cot and cot linen on request.
An open fire place in the living room is wonderful in winter. The open dining room seats 6. Floor to ceiling windows throughout the house give magical glimpses of the gardens and fields beyond, including the occasional rainbow, kangaroo, herd of cows or sheep and the Otway ranges. There are books and magazines galore, a stash of dvds and games for young and old. Please note there is no internet at the house. The kitchen has all the herbs and spices, vinegars and bits and bobs we use which are available to guests if they need.
The perfect place for a couple, family or friends to retreat to and explore the Great Ocean Road and Otways. Or book into the award winning Brae restaurant, book a ride with Birregurra car service and enjoy an amazing weekend away.
We are a 90 minute drive from Melbourne and 5kms from the town of Birregurra. 3km to Brae Restaurant, 30 minutes to the beaches of Lorne, Angelsea and Aireys Inlet and 40 minutes to Apollo Bay.
The property used to be the site of Ripplevale Primary School and the present home was built in 2001.
NOTE: 2 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY ONLY

About the host
Hosted by Kim Riley

We are Kim, Tim, Craig and Anna - two couples who bought the property together over a decade ago as a retreat from city life. Since then we (both couples) have had children but we all still love going to the property, even more so now with our young families. We have rented the property over this time to other people seeking a relaxing time in Birregurra for many reasons. Lately most of our guests are going to dine at Brae restaurant and our house is perfect for two couples wanting to get away and enjoy a fine dining weekend. We have a spare futon for the floor so taking the kids along is an option too, or if a third couple don't mind sleeping in the loungeroom or in near the fireside
Why they chose this property
As soon as we visited the property we knew that it would bring peace to our busy city lives, a counterbalance to the concrete jungle. It immediately spoke to us. Luckily we saw it just as it went on the market.
