About this property

'Bush by the Sea' - quiet native setting

Are you wanting the seaside holiday, without the traffic, noise, and close proximity of your neighbors to just relax and unwind?
Our three-bedroom house offers all the essentials you require to enjoy a quiet time away with friends or family, within close proximity to all that Anglesea has to offer.
Set in a small Cul-de-sac, a short seven-iron away from the renowned Kangaroo-lined Anglesea Golf Course, our house is nestled beside the Paringa Reserve, where you can wake up to the wildlife literally on your doorstep. Our newly extended verandah, or two outdoor decks, provide great viewing platforms to take in the serenity or to share with others as you bide your time away.
The house itself comprises of three bedrooms (main bedroom and second bedroom renovated July 2022), a fully functional kitchen, an open plan family and dining area, bathroom with European laundry.
The main bedroom, has a queen-size bed, small built-in robes, bedside tables, a ceiling fan, and a TV/DVD, for those who are wanting that little bit of privacy. The new sliding doors, now offer a beautiful viewport towards the Reserve and direct access to the extended verandah. The second bedroom comprises a double bed, small built-in robes, and a ceiling fan. The new sliding doors, also offer Reserve views and direct access to the extended verandah.
The third bedroom offers built-in bunks and a single bed, for those who don't mind sharing or for the young ones to enjoy time with others.
The kitchen comes complete will all essential utensils, an older style electric stove, small microwave, and an air-fryer with ample storage space for groceries (no dishwasher).
What better way to relax and unwind than in the large family area, where the reverse cycle air-conditioning will keep you comfortable all year round, with the option of using the wood fire heater on a wintry night while catching a movie. Whether you chill out in front of the smart TV, stream a movie* or take in one of the DVDs, play your own music through the Bluetooth stereo, Google Home, or browse to your heart's content using our unlimited NBN WiFi, there should be plenty to keep you entertained. If it's a break away from the technology you are after, grab the rest of the family or friends and play one of the board games.
The recently renovated bathroom features a stylish Italian basin and vanity, with a large open shower area and an additional toilet. Underfloor heating offers comfort during the colder months with additional natural light offered through the Velux skylight. Behind the folding doors, you will find the European Laundry, complete with a washing machine, iron and ironing board and all of the essentials a laundry requires (no dryer).
Outdoors, a double electric BBQ lets you enjoy the long summer days, and the yard is fully enclosed so the four legged members can enjoy a change of scenery as well!
Shops, beach#, river, and playgrounds are a short drive away or can be accessed via the path through the nature reserves, which serves both locals and tourists alike.
With one of the best beaches along the Surf Coast, a championship Golf Course 100m away, and a tranquil setting to relax and enjoy, our house offers an ideal opportunity for those wanting a good family holiday or just time away from life in the fast lane.

Hidden gem with the best of both the sea and Australian bushland.
Bush by the Sea is located in a quiet court setting and near all amenities. The shopping district, with coffee and restaurants is in walking distance and you are in very close proximity to beaches, lookouts, lighthouses, fishing spots, open ocean and other towns along the Great Ocean Rd if you're travelling as a tourist. The house is in native bushland so you can expect Australian wildlife such as kangaroos literally at your doorstep. Equipped with many amenities, the house was clean and well-kept. The exceptional part about this house is the service provided by the owner, Greg. His communication and customer service were next to none and of the likes that I have not seen in a long time. There is plenty of parking both in the driveway with room for 2 cars and out front. The house has an extensive back yard area verging on the native bushland and is well equipped for both indoor and outdoor entertainment. It accommodates quite a number of people and has modern facilities. We were very blessed by the air conditioning and fans as Anglesea sweltered in 40 degree temperatures. A very lovely and pleasant stay. I highly recommend Greg's place and will definitely return.

Exceeded expectations
My husband, 11 month old and 2 dogs have just returned from a 4 night getaway at Bush by the Sea. Photos don’t do this house justice. It was roomy, extremely clean and nicely decorated. The location means it is quiet with lots of bird life, but still only a 15 minute stroll to local cafes and the river/beach. Greg was a fantastic host - excellent communicator and very accommodating. Would definitely return and recommend to others.

Beach get away
This house was lovely. It was at the end of a court next to a small park so there were lots of trees and a couch on the deck to enjoy them. There were also lots of handy things for people who cook including a sharp knife, lots of tea towels and plenty of cooking utensils etc. The couches inside were comfy with plenty of room for 4 (or more) people to lounge. I would definitely recommend this house.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Hopkins

Host profile image
Active middle aged (young at heart) husband and father of three, who has always been involved in sports and who is trying to recapture his early fumbling surfing skills.
As someone with a strong family background, sporting captain and coach and current 30 years employer for Civil Engineering consultancy, I would like to think I am loyal and considerate of others, which ensures that each tenant is warmly welcomed.

Why they chose this property

This property satisfied our initial young families needs. Giving our city children a small taste of my wife's rural background with the adjoining parkland, while having one of the best beaches nearby.
Will be our long term retirement location.

What makes this property unique

Quiet setting with natural surroundings, and wildlife aplenty!
