About this property

The Lake House - Views over lake - walking track

Kick back, relax and make yourself at home in this spacious two-storey property perfectly positioned just a 20-minute walk from the main beach of Ocean Grove. Nearby shops, cafes and attractions are just waiting to be explored or you can simply gather with loved ones on the balcony and admire picturesque views over the Blue Water Lake Reserve, which you can access from the backyard. Directly across the road is a grassed picnic area with a playground for the kids.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, living, lounge room complete with a cosy fireplace and direct access to the balcony. Preparing meals for the family will be an absolute breeze in the well-appointed kitchen or you can just fire up the BBQ.

One bedroom and bathroom are located upstairs while on the ground floor you will find two bedrooms, a second bathroom and laundry. Discover the vibrant locale on foot. The Groove and The Garage cafes are both just a 500m walk away and you’re only 700m from the beautiful Barwon River where you can head out on the boat and try your luck at catching dinner.

As the name suggest -perfect location. Great modern house with all the things you need for a great weekend or longer. House is in a nice quiet location with great walking track and lake directly behind the property. Only a 2 min drive to the beach or walkable as well, great little cafe around the corner, defiantly makes you wish you were a local

Amazing stay
Very clean and fresh. Ample space for our family of 6. We could tell the host prepared for our stay with heart. It was a warm welcome even though no one was home.Everything we needed was there. Close to a lake, a river and the ocean.

Great location and layout for young family, close proximity to bluewater lake & adventure playground
Everything was really good per above ratings and review. Only issues were 3 bath towels to share between 6 people? Simply not enough. The other thing was there is a broken cable at the top of the TV antenna that prevents viewing of free to air channels
