About this property

Pet friendly Riverside Retreat

Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac just one house back from the beautiful mangroves of the Barwon River estuary, this modest French inspired cottage has recently been renovated keeping all of the original charm but integrating it with modern and luxurious style.

The kitchen and bathrooms have recently been renovated and are bright, airy and include modern appliances. The living, dining and 4th bedroom overlook a massive outdoor BBQ and entertaining area. All bedrooms are spacious and include built-in robes. Two of the 4 bedrooms have en-suites and the main bathroom, which includes a bath, services the other two bedrooms.

The house features split system air conditioning as well as hydronic-heating throughout. A double lock-up garage ensures vehicles can be stored securely.

The house is situated on a large 1000 square metre block with a beautiful fully-fenced cottage-style garden for you to relax in. There is ample room and plenty of shade for your family pets. The outdoor entertaining area is a feature of this property and the massive decked area features both open and undercover areas - perfect for a quiet and relaxing get-away.

Enjoy walks with the dogs along the Barwon estuary boardwalks or take a short drive to the designated dog beach just past the 13th beach lifesaving club. There are activities a-plenty in Barwon Heads as well as a thriving cafe and retail strip on Hitchcock Avenue - which is also within walking distance.

For any questions don't hesitate to contact or call Tim on .

Fantastic place to relax
The property has such a wonderful welcoming feel about it. Plenty of space both inside and out. Great backyard for enjoying a warm evening and it was perfect for our dog. Tim was a fabulous host and responded to a couple of queries straight away. Couldn’t recommend the property any higher, we had a wonderful week in a beautiful community.

Great house, well designed, great being able to bring along the dog!
We had a great stay. The house has good sized bedrooms, a really nice entertaining space/kitchen and a nice deck that catches the afternoon sun. Our whole family really enjoyed the space and loved hitting up different nearby beaches each day. Would definitely visit again.
