Walk Through The Home With Us Arrive at Cliff Edge and park easily in the gravel driveway, then follow the path down toward the front door. Even before you step inside, the home's elevated position above the Great Ocean Road gives you a teaser of what’s to come—through the windows, you’ll catch glimpses of breathtaking ocean views spilling in from the main living space.
Enter on the top level of this spacious two-story retreat and step into a beautifully open-plan living and dining area. Framed by expansive windows and soaring ceilings, the ocean views stretch endlessly across the horizon, creating a stunning backdrop from nearly every angle. Whether you're gathered on the couch or preparing a meal in the kitchen, the sea is always in sight. The main living room is welcoming and airy, with generous seating arranged around a TV and a centrally located woodfire heater—perfect for cosy winter evenings. A split system also keeps the space cool and comfortable during summer. It’s an ideal gathering spot to relax, reconnect, or simply unwind with a book and a view.
The dining area features a large table that seats up to 10 guests, perfect for shared meals or long, laughter-filled dinners. Just behind it, the kitchen is bright and functional, fitted with all the essentials including a fridge, oven, cooktop, microwave, toaster, and kettle. The surrounding windows invite in natural light and touch of greenery, giving the space a calming feel. A central island bench with four stools makes this a great hub for breakfast, casual drinks, or prepping meals while still being part of the conversation.
Step outside to enjoy not one but two generous balconies. One includes a BBQ for relaxed coastal cook-ups, while the other, positioned off the dining and living area, offers outdoor seating—perfect for alfresco dining or soaking in those sunset skies.
Also on the upper level is the luxurious master suite. This room is spacious and serene, featuring a queen bed, walk-in robe with ample hanging space, a split system for year-round comfort, and an ensuite that’s partially open to the bedroom. The bath sits perfectly to take in ocean views while you soak—pure indulgence.
Nearby, the laundry room is large and practical, equipped with a washer, dryer, sink, ironing facilities, drying rack, and outdoor access to a full-sized clothesline. A separate toilet is located just off the hallway for added convenience.
Make your way downstairs to discover the rest of the home’s sleeping quarters and an additional living space. Bedrooms 2 and 3 each offer queen-sized beds, ceiling fans, built-in robes, and lovely ocean views. Bedrooms 4 and 5 are designed with families in mind—each room includes two sets of bunk beds, built-in storage, and plenty of space for kids to relax or play indoors.
Two bathrooms serve the lower level, each positioned at opposite ends to service two bedrooms each. Both include a toilet, vanity, and shower, with one also featuring a second bath—ideal for families with younger children.
The second living room downstairs is a comfortable retreat with lounge seating and calming views of the garden or ocean. Another split system ensures comfort no matter the season. This space is perfect for kids to hang out or for a quiet moment away from the main hub upstairs. From the downstairs level, sliding doors lead to a decked outdoor area, which can also be accessed from several of the bedrooms. While the lower garden is mostly decorative, there’s a lovely shaded grassy area near the entrance that’s ideal for enjoying a quiet coffee, reading a book, or playing small outdoor games with the kids.
With central heating throughout the entire home, split systems in both living areas and the master, and thoughtful design touches at every turn, Cliff Edge is a truly comfortable and inviting space to stay—no matter the season. Perfect for large families or groups, it comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests across five spacious bedrooms.
A staff and guest favourite for good reason, Cliff Edge offers a rare blend of space, comfort, and breathtaking natural beauty. Whether you're planning a summer beach holiday or a cosy winter escape, it's the perfect base for making special memories on the Surf Coast.

The Neighborhood: Fairhaven is a peaceful coastal town located along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Known for its stunning beaches and natural beauty, it is a popular spot for both locals and visitors looking for a relaxing getaway. The town is nestled between Aireys Inlet and Lorne, offering easy access to the spectacular coastal landscape that defines the region. Fairhaven’s main draw is its long, pristine beach, ideal for swimming, surfing, and relaxing. The surrounding area is home to lush Otway forest and walking trails, making it a great destination for nature lovers. The town has a small welcoming community, a Surf Life Saving Club and offers a quiet, laid-back atmosphere. While the town itself is relatively small, it’s a perfect base for exploring the wider Great Ocean Road region. With its scenic views, outdoor activities, and tranquil vibe, Fairhaven is an ideal location for those looking to experience the beauty of Victoria’s coastline in a more serene, less crowded setting.
Enjoy the nearby family friendly activities in the neighbouring town Aireys Inlet such as, the Great Ocean Road Mini Golf, Aireys Inlet Skate Park and Playground, the Bark Hut reserve and of course you could take the Eco Logic Split Point Lighthouse Tour and climb to the top of the famous Round the Twist lighthouse. There are some great beaches to explore in Aireys/Fairhaven and of course Painkalac Creek if you're wanting to paddle board, kayak or fish.
Getting Around: Getting around Fairhaven, Victoria, is generally done by car, as the town is small and public transportation options are limited. The Great Ocean Road, which runs through the town, provides easy access to nearby areas such as Aireys Inlet, Lorne, and the surrounding coastal spots. Visitors often use their own vehicles or rental cars to explore the region, as it allows the freedom to visit the many scenic locations at their own pace. For those looking to explore the local area more leisurely, cycling is a popular option, with bike-friendly paths and routes along the coast. Walking is also a great way to enjoy the natural beauty of the region, with several trails around Fairhaven and nearby beaches, such as the popular Fairhaven Beach. Taxis and shuttle services are available but may not be frequent, so having your own transport is recommended for the most convenient and flexible travel around Fairhaven and the surrounding areas.

Perfect Getaway
It was our second time back, the views never disappoint. Property exactly as described, well equipped with some extra luxurious touches (like the spa overlooking the ocean and heated towel rack). Great location, quiet, leafy area high on the hill overlooking Fairhaven. Saw a stunning sunset on the horizon and had a few visits from some local parrots. Plenty of privacy if you're with a group. Highly recommended, will certainly be back.

Great getaway with fantastic views
We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend away in this fantastic house with amazing views. With two living areas we were able to be together or enjoy time apart. The beach is a ten minute walk down the side path, and the climb back up the hill will get the heart going.

The description of the property is accurate and the views from the living areas are nothing short of amazing.
The kitchen is well equipped and the property had everything we needed.
I have seen it it other reviews and that coffee table needs to go, it simply reduces the quality feel of the home dramatically. Please bin it soon!

Great stay in a serene location
I had a wonderful stay here. The view is breathtaking & the beds were actually comfortable which I have had issues with in previous locations. The kitchen has all the cutlery, crockery & utensils you need to cook a feast which was useful as I like to cook meals & didn’t want to get take out. The house was clean which I appreciate. I also loved the path down the side of the house that led to the beach, it is quite steep in areas of the walk however for able bodied people it is a terrific work out 💪

Just what We needed
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The view was amazing. Loved waking up and laying in a very comfortable bed (high quality linen) looking out at the view.
The spa was the best I’ve ever experienced. The kitchen had everything possible needed in a kitchen. My biggest pet hate is the bare minimum supplied in kitchen ware. But not here. Layout amazing if you have extra family/friends. The only thing I could possibly knock is,it would be good to have a smart tv so we could watch movies and sorry that coffee table, needs to go. 😜
I will def be back I really loved staying here. Im quite fussy so ten stars from us.
Thank you

What a spectacular view at this most stunning property that boasts that we live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Beautifully appointed we had such a lovely time - long walks along the beach, the sculpture show in Lorne and dinner at Ipsos, one funny thing we thought was the coffee table in the main room. I stubbed my toe on it. Solid heavy metal with some sort of pleather on it.

Upstairs, you'll find ànother queen bedroom, a bathroom with spa bath with views over the ocean, a power room, laundry, a large living area, a generous sized dining area which sat 11 of us comfortably. Àll queen bedrooms and living areas have direct views to the sea.

Bliss
A magical experience and excellent piece of Fairhaven. Views are spectacular and create a sense of calm and entertainment throughout your stay. The balcony spans the whole house with plenty of places to view the beautiful ocean, and sunrise on the horizon was breathtaking. Boudoir is totally extra with views extended to the kitchen and spa room. Kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy the serenity. The second living area was really helpful with a larger group, particularly with some older people in our group who wanted to sleep earlier.
Minor nitpicks: dining and outdoor tables accommodate only 8-10 people, which could be a challenge for larger groups. The Google devices in both living rooms are a little off putting if you're into privacy and opposed to electronics such as we are, particularly as the sign states they're not to be turned off. Though many techs may appreciate the modern equipment, we felt it was unnecessary.
Overall, a fabulous few days away that catered for our entire group and beautiful property. We'd love to come back!

Whales & rainbows!
We were blown away by the view upon arrival - and our departing gift was a rainbow in the sky & a whale frolicking in the waves off shore - made most beautiful by being in this property - the huge windows make the view a stunning place to sit and enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine. We loved the woodfire place, and multiple bathrooms enjoyed by our group of 10! Would highly recommend this place.
