Fern House - bush by beach @ wye river

  • 4 Guests
  • 2 Bedrooms
  • 3 Beds
  • 2 Bathrooms

In a quiet pocket of Wye River amongst tree ferns and eucalypts, Fern House is perfectly positioned for you to enjoy the best of both bush and beach. Nestled in the lush green on the edge of the Otway Ranges, a short 600 metre walk will take you to the beach, General Store and Wye Beach Hotel. Immerse yourself in the spectacular natural surroundings where the sounds of birdsong blend with the echo of the ocean waves.

Drive to the door (a luxury in the hills of Wye) and unload into the recently renovated single level house. When one of the owners is an architect there is no flat pack kitchen here! The brand new kitchen has all new appliances, loads of bench space, cupboards and draws full of utensils and a funky breakfast bar. There is a big dining table with views out to the trees through large glazed sliders which also give access to the deck and BBQ area. Cosy up on the couch by the wood heater or flick the switch on the wall heater and if you can’t handle the heat in the kitchen there’s always the air-con. Off the living area is a laundry/storage/bathroom area with another door to outside for easy post beach access. A short hallway leads to the two bedrooms both with ample wardrobe space if you're thinking of a longer stay. Separate heating units will keep you warm on cool winter nights and large sliding windows will let in the summer breeze while you sleep. The main bedroom with en-suite has a queen size bed and the second bedroom a king size or two king singles. (You will need to specify your bedding preference for the second bedroom)

There are hills in Wye River so be prepared for some hilly walks. If you have a truck load of beach gear then there is plenty of parking by the beach.

Wye River is a little more than a two hour drive from Melbourne and we recommend you have your own transport to explore more of the beautiful Otway Ranges and the Great Ocean Road. There is private off street parking on site for up to 2 vehicles. A rail service to Geelong and bus service from Geelong link Melbourne to Wye River.

I live locally so give me a call, preferably between 8am-9pm.
