About this property

Koala View - Kennett River

Situated in the tranquil tree tops of the tiny township of Kennett River, and a 5 minute stroll to the beach, this house has a stunning 270 degree view of the Otway National Park down to the ocean below.

Koalas, kangaroos, parrots and kookaburras are all frequent visitors to the property giving you the best of bush living while being so close to the beach. It offers easy access to all that the Great Ocean Road has to offer, including surfing, swimming, bushwalking, nature photography and fishing.

Downstairs you will find three bedrooms, two with queen and 3rd bedroom ideal for children with 2 single beds and two trundles.
Upstairs is open plan living, drenched in north facing sunlight all year round, with timber floors, wood heater, comfortable dining and couches, opening onto the treetop deck with BBQ and outdoor dining for 8.

There is a selection of books, DVDs, toys, games and puzzles suitable for most ages, and access to portacot and portable high chair if needed.

Within easy walking distance of the house there is the Kennett River beach, caravan park (with playground), café / general store and river (with small fishing pier). There are also lots of tracks through the national park starting in Kennett River suitable for walking and mountain biking.

Emphasis on occupation rules too prominent.
The property was good and well located. One criticism would be that the home rules of what to do and not to do and what would happen if you don't stick to the rules were so prominent, that is made one feel unwelcome. Afterall we paid good money to rent the property.

Enjoyed the stay but..
Great kitchen facilities and deck with view. Lovely to sit outside with bush and partial ocean view. A little dated. No mats at doorways made it difficult to keep the house clean. No body wash supplied as advertised. Front bedroom windows didn’t open so stuffy. Bathroom very small for more than a couple. PowerPoint in bathroom potentially dangerous.. Needs a bit of TLC to live up to what’s advertised.
