Stylish architectural and pet-friendly home by the river
Architecturally designed and just a 50 metre walk to the beautiful Barwon River. Only 6 years old this light-filled home designed locally by award-winning architect, Irons McDuff Architecture. Perfect for a family and able to sleep up to 6 guests. The house is best suited to a young family.
Stroll through the Moonah forest over the road directly to the river to enjoy fishing, kayaking or a dip. Only a 2 minute drive into the main street of Barwon Heads, safe beach for swimming with kids or a surf at 13th beach.
The front pod is clad in locally sourced sugar gum timber and includes the entrance, kitchen and dining table which can fit 6 people. Continue through the glass link walkway to the cosy living area with a large TV, gas fireplace, air conditioner and custom lounge. Feel free to browse the many architectural books in the living area. The first bedroom includes a Queen size bed and the second bedroom has a double bed. Both bedrooms access the central powder room and bathroom with large shower and plenty of storage for beach towels. The main bedroom (recently painted in a dark grey) is expansive and includes a King size bed and private ensuite with another large shower.
Enjoy the outside decking and established garden whilst cooking on the webber BBQ. An outdoor shower is perfect to wash sand off after a day at the beach.
We accept pets at this house as the rear garden is fully enclosed and pet friendly. We just ask that pets are kept off furniture.

An amazing house, with everything you need!
We had the absolute pleasure of staying at this property, over the weekend, with our two young children and furry friend.
It really felt like a home away from home. The house is located in a nice quiet area, close to the river, where the locals walking their dogs, are quick to say a hello or give a wave. It is only a short drive to the shops.
Brooke is an amazing and accommodating host and we can't wait to stay again soon!

Nice place to stay
Not a fan of the layout of the house, but everything else was well done. Kitchen was great well stocked but could do with a good frypan.

Beautiful place really lovely relaxed feel in a great position
We really enjoyed the time here it really was just a great place to hang and relax in and had everything you needed including a lovely gas wood heater.
Bella our boxer enjoyed it as well. Brooke was really helpful and overall we would give this 10 stars but there are only 5 .
This was like staying in a home not a house set up just to rent.
The position was lovely a little track to the river and it was barely 5 min by car to the main shops and beach.
Luv the outdoor shower and the private deck . It was one of those places where you just felt relaxed .

Lovely house. Perfect space and really comfortable beds. Modern showers, Netflix, wifi, loved it..
We had a really great three night stay at this property. It is modern and exactly what we were looking for. The drive to the town is just a couple of minutes and if you park on the road just before the cafes start and then walk then you don’t gave an issue parking. Much easier. The beds were all really comfortable and the showers were great. Plently of space on the sofa in living area and we really enjoyed watching the big tv and Netflix after cooking our evening meal. The kitchen was modern and the oven etc very easy to operate. We used the gas bbq outside and that was also super easy and we loved our evening outside.
Thanks Brooke. We loved our weekend away. Finally got our daughters off their phones and had some family bonding time
