Willowhaven - Rustic & Vintage

Imagine your family and friends relaxing in this rustic, classic 1950's beach house. Situated in a semi-rural location within a magnificent 5 acre garden setting, with expansive lawns and European style gardens, enclosed by Skenes Creek where you can fish for trout or paddle down to the beach. This property is set back 200m from the surf at the Skenes Creek Beach, giving privacy and access.

Guests can also wander through the orchard, where lemons and apples grow in abundance, or can observe koalas and other wildlife over the creek. You can also enjoy the rustic tennis court or play cricket or croquet on the rolling lawns. You will love the privacy, location, peace and tranquility on offer at Willowhaven, as well as everything you expect of a traditional beach holiday.

Enjoy a picnic and a glass of wine at one of the many spots dotted along the tree lined creek bank, in the outdoor BBQ area, or on the balcony overlooking the garden. The expansive and picturesque garden surrounds have also provided the perfect back drop for weddings and other functions, and many other successful and memorable events.

If you are interested in booking this property for an event or wedding, please enquire with our office to check availability and terms and conditions.

A short 5-minute drive will see you at Chris Beacon Point restaurant where you can indulge your passion for fine dining with family and friends. A 6km drive away is Apollo Bay, where you can sample the delights of the many cafes and restaurants in the town centre, play a round of golf, stock up with essential items from one of the 2 supermarkets, or buy or rent your fishing and beach gear.

The main house features 4 bedrooms for 8 people, plus a timber cottage for 5 adults or children, with a main bathroom, laundry, open kitchen, dining and lounge area plus additional second dining/lounge area with wood fire, parking for 4/5 vehicles and all the items you will ever need to enjoy your holiday. The great attractions of this property are its maintained garden, creek setting and its location near the beach. The house is comfortable with a great layout for an older style rustic beach house.

The location is perfect for Otway Mountains cycling, hiking and destinations such as the Otway Fly and the Redwood Forest. It is midway along the Great Ocean Rd so well placed for accessing sites such as the 12 Apostles as well as the beaches and towns of the Surf Coast. It can be visited via the Great Ocean Rd or through the Otways via Forrest Colac Road.

Note, the cottage that sleeps 5 guests is located separately from the house across the lawn and does not have its own bathroom facilities or fireplace.
There will be an extra person fee for any groups of more than 8 guests.
