About this property

A spacious, light-filled home, a stone's throw from the water

River Sunset is a modern beach house boasting plenty of space and separate living zones, ideal for groups and families. Enjoy sweeping views across the Barwon River and soak up everything Ocean Grove has to offer, literally on your doorstep — situated just minutes walk from the river promenade, popular Garage cafe, the Terrace shops, bowls and golf club, and the iconic, patrolled Surf Beach.

The light-filled home offers a large, open planned kitchen, living and dining area which spills out onto a sunny deck — perfect for entertaining. For a night in, kick your feet up in front of the  huge Samsung QLED 65 inch TV with Netflix.

River Sunset sleeps 11 comfortably. The first floor has a master bedroom, with two, large walk-in-robes and ensuite bathroom, and second bedroom with queen bed and a separate toilet.

Downstairs features a large bedroom with twin king-single beds (which can be made into one king-sized bed) and a fourth bedroom with bunks, which can sleep up to three. A sofa bed and port-a-cot is also available.

Both living areas and two of the four bedrooms have a smart TV with unlimited fast NBN.

The house is fantastic for large groups or two families, separated into two living zones. Find a bathroom (with a bath tub), another living area with TV, a sofa bed and deck on the ground floor. For guests with small children, you will have access to a high chair, port-a-cot, a safety gate for the top of the stairs, and kids plastic cups and bowls. There are also plenty of board games, puzzles and TVs for entertainment. The backyard is fully enclosed.

An outdoor shower and fully equipped laundry with washing machine and dryer will come in handy after a day spent at the beach.

Enjoy tucking into a variety of puzzles, board games and books to read. There is wifi throughout the house.

Excellent stay at beautiful Ocean Grove home
Julia and Charlie were excellent hosts, providing easy to follow check-in instructions, swift communication, and even put a little Christmas tree out which the children loved.The home was clean and spacious, providing plenty of room for 3 families to spread out (6 adults and 5 children aged 4 to 11).The home was an easy walk to Coles and restaurants (or 2min drive). It was also close to Ocean Grove beach, which was beautiful with plenty of room to set up beach tents and for the children to play. We also went to adventure park for the Christmas lights and on another day to do the water park side of it - with the home only 8 mins away, it helped make the most of our time at the park and minimised travel times.We loved our stay there and would be happy to stay again. Thank you Julia and Charlie!

Summer Holiday
Perfect location and house for our group. Downstairs separate lounge handy for teenagers. Easy walk to beach and not too far to Barwon Heads. Sunset view on balcony amazing. Would recommend the addition of an outdoor umbrella on top balcony and an extra armchair or two in top lounge room. Easy additions to make it even better.
