This comfortable three-bedroom beach house has stunning views of the sea and the Kennett River Beach that can be enjoyed from the open plan kitchen/living and dining area.
A large deck that extends across the front of the house is perfect for catching the all day sun or for enjoying a family BBQ on the Webber. Large gum trees at the front and back of the property are home to the resident koalas, parrots and kookaburras. An expansive grassy area at the front of the property is perfect for the kids summer games. Wake early to watch the sun rise over the sea from the two front bedrooms. At night star gaze or watch the car lights as they snake along the Great Ocean Road from the comfortable lounge area. In whale watching season you may be lucky enough to see a pod cruise by close to the Kennett River outlet.
It is only a five-minute walk to the beach, which is perfect for surfing or swimming between the flags in summer. On the way to the beach you will pass by the Kennett River Store so you can pick up the morning papers or sample the pizza at night.
Kennett Bach is a little gem where the ocean meets the forest.

classic beach house, with epic view
Clean and neat for a standard beach house, the deck was a great size with the view the hero. Everything is basic but that suited our holiday needs perfectly.
Webber BBQ is a bonus.

Can't wait to return
Lovely, comfortable, down-to-earth holiday home, perfect for getting away from it all. Enjoyed the amazing view, cosy wood stove, beautiful birdlife, koalas, kangaroos, comfy beds, tasteful furnishings, well-equipped kitchen and peaceful location. All our queries and requests were dealt with promptly and generously. This was our second stay here and we'd come back again.

not clean, out dated for price
1. Floors very dusty especially the lounge area
2. House is outdated and really needs a new lease of life for the price – bathroom, toilet and kitchen
3. Entrance via laundry…!!!
4. House tap water out of the tanks is brown. I have tank water at home and is 100% clear. Yes found the bottled water in the pantry 2nd day.
5. Balcony boards need clean and recoat
6. Blinds in bedroom do not block out the morning light enough
7. Only 1 fire starter we were there 2 nights. Not a problem for me but for others yes.
8. Fire baffle to slow fire down did not seem to work.
9. TV too small for today’s standards
10. Couches x 2 were comfortable.
11. Good kitchen plates, cutlery, glasses and mugs etc.
12. Drive way not lite – the 4 little solar lights did not work and 2 were lying on the ground
13. Drive narrow and as per poor lighting hard to use in the rain when arriving in the dark
14. View was great.

Perfect coastal hideaway
I spent two weeks in self-isolation at this place and still was sad to leave at the end of it! Beautiful location, well stocked with all essentials and nicely decorated. The local king parrots are a bonus.

Loved staying here!
This is a great property from which to enjoy the wildlife - koalas, kangaroos, parrots, echidna... spacious, clean, great verandah to watch the sunrise and feed the parrots. Very comfortable and lots of generous touches. We’ll be back!
