Amazing Views
A comfortable and homely place to stay with amazing views of sunsets and close to a water bird sanctuary where you can start the day with a short walk around the lake with your furkid. Lovely place overall

Great location in Old Ocean Grove
We travelled as a family with two teenagers, their friends and a small dog. When we arrived , property was easy to find. House was so well presented, clean and very comfortable. Fan in main bedroom and split in main living area so were able to keep cool. Property is behind another one but views excellent as it s elevated. Beautiful deck out front to enjoy the north sun and lots of room and fireplace out back. Fully enclosed so dog was very safe when we were there. Best part - a 30sec walk to the entrance of the lake track and a 10 minute walk to the shops.

Christmas Getaway
We absolutely loved our week holiday. From morning coffees out the back to cocktail drinks on the front terrace to lake walks and nearby dinner experiences we felt right at home. The house was spotless and perfectly maintained. The location was ideal for us and we would certainly return next time.

Fantastic!
My husband, baby and I stayed for 5 days and didn’t want to come home. The property was clean, comfortable and surrounded by sunlight. We loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the sunset with a bottle of wine. Our dog loved the backyard too. Ange was great to communicate with & always responded to queries quickly. We will return.

Great house, great position, great owner.
This was an amazingly positioned and equipped property. It was a relaxing easy stay. Property was clean, checkin and communication were clear and effortless. It felt like "home", unfortunately our holiday had to end. Our dog loved it as well. Will be back soon I hope.

Great getaway with family and my four legged baby!
Thanks Ange, we had a really great little holiday and your house was lovely. Perfect for me and my partner, my parents and our dog. Secure yard for the dog and only a very short walk out of the driveway and you are at a lake with a great walking track that we all did every morning. The house had everything we needed and more and was clean and very well presented. Only a short couple of minutes drive and we were at the shops and beach. We all had a very lovely and relaxing break and we will be back in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Angela Iles

Host profile image
We live in Melbourne and we bought this property as an investment in 2017

Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful modern property in a great location. More than anything else it feels like being on holiday and has a real holiday home feel. It's also in a quiet location and has great views.

What makes this property unique

There's nothing better than sitting on the front deck watching the sunset on a balmy summer evening. We also love the fact that Blue Lake is at the end of our drive and is great for walking the dog. Back garden is terraced and secluded.
