About this property

The Dunes Ultimate Beach House

This is the ultimate beach house, walking distance to the beach, close to golf courses, cafe's and wineries.

One of our guests said, "We had a fantastic 'Winter Escape' weekend at the Dunes. There was plenty of room for a large group of us, including 2 babies and a dog, and we had a ball. The open living/kitchen/dining space is perfect, and the log fire a real drawcard. We hope to be back soon! Thank you."

Another said ''We had an amazing time at The Dunes. The location is beautiful, the house is spacious and fantastically well appointed. We catered for large numbers and were able to do so with ease and comfort. Plus there are games, activities, seating, and decking galore. I would definitely recommend it!

The Dunes is a very spacious, beautifully furnished and decorated 2 storey casual timber beach house with all mod cons nestled amongst the tea trees but enjoying sun all day. Treeline views and only a short drive from Blairgowrie and Sorrento. Walking distance to fabulous back beaches and to die for views from the sand dunes.

Sleeps up to 18 in comfort so absolutely brilliant for that landmark celebration or for a wonderful family get to gether.
It is also often used for executive retreats and corporate team building. There are 2 huge separate lounge areas, 2 dining areas, 4 outdoor deck areas and 3 bathrooms. There is a huge and inviting open fireplace, with plenty of wood provided. Perfect for snuggling up next to with a bottle of red or a good book.
There is ample off street parking for 5 cars and even room for a boat.

Just pack your bags and arrive!

We've thought of everything. There is Foxtel IQ3 plus there are books galore, toys, games, massive bean bags, stuffed toys and DVD's for the kids. The upstairs rumpus room is enormous and great for groups of people wanting to chill out and getaway from it all or for the kids to run around in.

They will never want to leave, there is also an outdoor table tennis table down in the back garden and Foosball table.

There is milk in the fridge and tea, coffee and sugar provided plus all the little things that make a difference like toiletries, oil, vinegar plus kitchen necessities.

The supermarket in Blairgowrie is very well stocked with loads of fantastic deli items and the closest convenience store is 1k away.
You can walk to the back beach from the house in less than 10 minutes, through the National park. It's a great surf beach and at low tide the rockpools provide endless hours of entertainment for the kids - they are even big enough to jump in. This local beach even has a huge sand dune to climb up and run down. The views from the top are nothing short of spectacular

Ideal for family and friend get- to- gethers

The Dunes is huge! There is ample room for 3 or 4 families or a group of people sharing.

Downstairs there are 2 bedrooms. One large king size room and another with 2 king singles which can be zipped together to make a king bed.

Great group accommodation
Awesome set up for our large family group who came together to celebrate a special birthday. All ages were well accommodated for with plenty of in-house activities and plenty of space. Despite being instructions left for us on how to walk to the beach, it was confusing, arduous and a long trek. Otherwise, we were thrilled with our accommodation and would happily stay there again if the situation arose.

Great location
Beautiful property, amenities provided is excellent. The place needs a good deep clean and the couches downstairs needs to be replaced or a good stream clean required. Overall great home for a large group of family and friends to bond and relax ☺️
