Bancroft Haven is full of character aimed at helping you soak up the relaxing atmosphere and charm that Metung has to offer.

The vaulted ceilings in the lounge and Huon pine paneling provide a warming charm throughout any time of the year.

The spacious living and multiple entertaining areas allow for separate retreats across the house so that your whole family can engage in a differing style of relaxation and comfort.

The lounge area is adorned with a floor-to-ceiling sandstone feature and centralised doors opening on the deck spaces to the north and south. This room also has a fan-forced wood heater (BYO Wood), furnishing a luring warmth during the winter months, and accompanied by a reverse cycle split system to help negate the summer heat.

You have direct access to a spacious two-car garage beneath the house. From here we have a unique feature in a single-person lift (available on request) that conveniently provides internal access to the living room.

Moving to the outside of our house, you will find numerous areas to relax or play should you wish to entertain. Our house boasts Extensive outdoor entertaining areas to provide shade during the summer warmth and shelter during the colder months of the year.

Perhaps the best holiday rental we’ve ever been lucky enough to make use of

We absolutely loved the property. Spacious, beautiful views, super well appointed (couches through to cutlery- everything so well presented). It catered for our large group (6 kids and 4 adults). Simple stroll into the village Super clean, dead quiet Birdlife and sea (seals and dolphins - please!)
