About this property

Surf Shack - Family Break

Nestled in behind dunes the Surf Shack is a large comfortable beach front home perfectly suited to a large family or group of friends to enjoy a weekend get away or longer break (sleeps 6 adults and 4 kids comfortably). At the enviable address on Surf parade you are literally stones throw away from the main surf beach and a short 15 minute stroll to the center of Inverloch.

This property is split level with two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a laundry downstairs off a front lobby as you enter through the front door.

Up a small set of stairs you come into the Kitchen area which has dining table and chairs, and breakfast bar perfect for kids. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need to make your stay comfortable and great entertaining. There is a Coonara wood heater in this area which effectively heats the entire house in the winter, and there is also a split system air conditioner for cooling in the summer months.

Off the kitchen area to the back of the property there are two more double bedrooms and the second bathroom. Also off the kitchen area and up a another small stair case is a huge open plan living/lounge/TV area with a pool table making the upstairs area perfect for chilling out.

At the front of the property is a huge outdoor front deck with outdoor dining table and chairs. There is also a large outdoor deck umbrella covering the dining table and offering some shelter form the sun. This deck area is also equipped with a comfortable outdoor setting for relaxing and enjoying a glass of wine or champagne as you listen to the waves break on the beach or some tunes.

At the back of the property there is another outdoor deck area with a second outdoor lounge setting for relaxing and enjoying your morning coffee in the sun. Then further up the back of the property is a covered BBQ area where you have another outdoor dining table and chairs, BBQ and back bar area. A small lawn area perfect for kids is adjacent to the BBQ bungalow making for a great spot for kids to entertain themselves in the tree house while you cook dinner..

An hour and 45 minutes from central Melbourne, Inveloch is the perfect location for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of city living. With a stunning surf beach and child-friendly inlet beach, Inverloch caters to everyone from experienced surfers to toddlers experiencing the beach for the first time. Combined with all of these natural treasures is the charming ambience of a wonderful coastal village full of cafes, restaurants and boutique retailers.

Sweet beach shack
We had such a great time during our stay at the beach shack. Perfect location, literally a 2 min walk to the beach. The kids had a blast. The house was perfect for 2 families (2 parents, 2 kids). Everything was well stocked, and everything we needed was there (including heaps of boardgames to keep the kids entertained on rainy days)

Beach holiday
Location was fantastic, so easy with young kids to just walk across the road to beach. Fabulous beach sandy and within walking distance rock pools. House fully equipped for a holiday, we had a lovely stay just too short. Thanks

Great for the whole family!
Great layout with lots of places to relax for the whole family. Only a clamber over the dunes to the beach and a short drive or nice walk into town. Loved that our dogs could come on holidays with us too!

Great property
What a pleasure it was to stay here, 6 adults, plenty of room for all. The layout of the house was perfect. Pool table was a great bonus. Surf beach just across the road. Very quiet area. House was very clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this property to larger groups. Thank you very much.

Great holiday house for family
We had two families staying for the weekend and this place is very well planned to suit just that. No one was in each other's way and we all congregated for meals in the centre of the house. The kids had a ball with plenty of space for hide and seek. The beach is so close with access literally just across the road. Only a few meters of bush before stepping onto the beautiful surf beach! Will definitely be back in the summer months. Highly recommend.
