'Park Cottage' located at the end of the main street of Barwon Heads, and across from the park, offers a blend of vintage charm and relaxed coastal living, a feeling that is immediately apparent upon arrival. Outside, the cottage's allure extends to the garden and outdoor sitting areas. The front deck invites you to cook a BBQ and dine alfresco or simply soak up the sun amidst the lush greenery, while a secondary outdoor area provides a secluded space for morning coffee or sheltered dining. This is a home that truly celebrates outdoor living, with the 54 acre village parklands directly opposite the house, and the river beckoning at the end of the street.
Inside, original hardwood timber floors stretch throughout the house and each room is filled with natural light. Adorned with touches that hark back to a bygone era, the décor creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The heart of the cottage is the main living area, a spacious room where a 'Nectre' woodfire heater sits ready to envelop you in its warmth on cool evenings. Here, the rustic charm of the interior design invites you to unwind with a good book, engage in conversations, or simply enjoy the peaceful ambience.
The secondary living area serves as an escape for quiet reflection or as an entertainment space with a Smart TV, complete with games, books, and space to play. The kitchen, with its retro tiles and cabinetry, provides all the modern conveniences needed to prepare meals whilst overlooking the dining area. Split system heating and cooling provides year-round climate comfort.
Four furnished bedrooms offer comfortable retreats, and all bedding and bath towels are provided for your coastal getaway (please BYO beach towels). The master bedroom features a Queen bed, an ensuite bathroom, and direct access to the west deck, offering a quiet nook to enjoy a special moment. The additional bedrooms, two with Queen beds and one with Twin Single beds, share the home’s second bathroom, which combines the laundry facilities.
*Families please BYO portacot/highchair, if required.
Other features of this cottage on the main street of Barwon Heads include a fully equipped kitchen (incl. microwave, dishwasher, and coffee pod machine), WiFi, fans, private off street parking for one car, and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand. Bring your bikes for fantastic riverside rides, or the skateboards and scooters to play at the Skate Park. Surrounded by established trees, landscaped gardens, and secure fencing pets are permitted subject to House Rules. Please note there is a small open fish pond in the back yard.
'Park Cottage' is a haven where each day is an invitation to slow down, breathe in the sea air, and relish the simple joys of life in a home that feels like a step back in time yet thoroughly grounded in the comfort of today.
