Summary:
‘Driftwood Views’ offers a unique experience for guests who seek the great sense of freedom that only elevation and water views can attain. The high set location takes advantage of Bluff and estuary views, with ocean outlooks across the treetops. Imagine waking up and checking the surf from your bedroom, taking a stroll around the picturesque Blue Waters Lake, or stand-up paddle boarding on the river. At day’s end, a BBQ on the deck is the perfect place to relax as the sun goes down.
The Space:
Near new and immaculately presented, this modern Australian beach holiday home has multiple outdoor entertaining zones, twin living areas and a great elevated court position in beautiful Ocean Grove.
Set atop a valley in prime position to overlook the rich sanctuary of the Barwon River as it meets the sea, the sense of calm and peacefulness is palpable. This is a place to truly slow down, fill your cup and feel replenished. The expansive views gift a connectedness to nature that attunes you to the natural rhythms of the landscape. Watch as the rising sun hits the Barwon Heads Bluff, the tidal movements alter the dimensions of the estuary, and the colours of the sky evolve all day. At night the Barwon Heads bridge and township lights twinkle - complete with a telescope to explore the skyscape. In all seasons, the experience is priceless.
Listen to the roaring ocean and feel the cool sea breeze - this stunning home will uplift and delight you. Spacious, light-filled living celebrates the aspect, overlooking the ever-changing environment and abundant birdlife that flock to the nearby lake. Huge windows perfectly frame the iconic landmarks of bluff, bridge, river and sea, unobstructed from the kitchen, dining, living, master bedroom and upper level outdoor deck with bar and barbeque area.
Set in a quiet court with no through traffic, this residence has coastal interiors, polished timber floors and rough sawn timber joinery throughout. R/C air conditioning units to both living areas, a gas log fireplace and ducted heating provide year-round climate comfort. After all the day’s activities, you can curl up on the comfy lounges and watch a movie on the Smart TVs (Netflix connectivity), relax with Wi-Fi or a book, or be mesmerised by the views... Downstairs living flows to another private deck, with an outdoor shower and coastal gardens.
Beautifully decorated and set up to accommodate up to 8 guests, this is an ideal setting for a memorable family holiday or couples. The kitchen offers high quality amenities including a coffee pod machine (starter set of coffee pods provided on arrival), combined with world-class views to make meal preparation a delight.
