Mariners Retreat Unrivalled Ocean and River Views

Summary:

‘Mariner's Retreat’ is a private haven, set high on the hill overlooking the convergent waterways of the Barwon River as it meets Bass Strait. This modern Australian beach-scape style villa is best described as an observatory over waterways and sky, with the imposing limestone cliffs of the Barwon Heads Bluff the prime focus. Contemporary features, coastal gardens, and outdoor entertaining offer the essence of relaxed, seaside living, just a short stroll to Blue Water’s Lake and The Groove Cafe.

This place has it all to elevate your days - up here you will hear the roaring ocean acoustics and feel the cool sea breeze throughout the home.



The spacious, light-filled, open plan concept celebrates its south-facing aspect. Banks of floor-to-ceiling windows flood the stylish interiors with warm natural light and unobstructed views so you can gaze upon the silhouettes of the natural assets beyond. This culturally rich heritage area is a celebrated marine environment, known as the Barwon Bluff Marine Sanctuary.



Set in a quiet and exclusive cul-de-sac with no through traffic, this stunning three-bedroom residence is finished to the highest level, with distinctive cypress cladding serving to settle the home into its natural environment. The upper level incorporates an open plan living, kitchen and dining area with split system air conditioning and ceiling fans. Curl up on the comfy lounge and watch a movie on the TV (Smart TV - log in with your own Netflix/streaming account details to resume your own viewing history), relax with Wi-Fi and a great book, or be mesmerised by the views... An adjoining outdoor entertaining area with a BBQ and dining setting offers alfresco living with a spectacular aspect.



Beautifully decorated and set up to accommodate up to 6 guests, this is an ideal setting for a memorable family holiday, groups of friends or executive travellers. 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, and an adjoining dining area.



All bedrooms are beautifully appointed with hotel quality sheets and bath towels, making your stay as pleasurable as possible. The King-size master bedroom (with ensuite) is upstairs, embracing beautiful sea views. The Queen bedroom downstairs features water views and a TV, while the second Queen room overlooks the garden. Both have electric wall heaters and are serviced by a central bathroom (bath, shower, vanity) with a separate toilet.



Close proximity to The Groove Café and Blue Water’s Lake will delight, with your morning ritual including a leisurely walk around the lake with a takeaway coffee while you admire the abundant birdlife. The main Ocean Grove shopping and dining precinct is a short 5-minute drive. Connected to nature via commanding views of the estuary, sea and sky, we hope your visit to ‘Mariner's Retreat’ offers a unique opportunity to live the idyllic coastal dream during your time in Ocean Grove.
