Our beautifully renovated family beach house is located 2km from the Ocean Grove main beach and walking distance to all local shops and cafes.
Our house backs onto a nature reserve and park, with spare blocks either side of our house making it a private sanctuary.
Our house is split over 3 levels:
Downstairs has 1xQB with ensuite and large kitchenette and living area.
The second story has 1xKB (master), 1 DB Bunk (with 1x SB up top) and 1x Nursery with cot. A fully renovated bathroom (with bath) and laundry are also on this level.
The third level boasts a beautiful light filled open living area comprising a fully equipped kitchen, dining and living area, opening out to an expansive deck overlooking our garden with glimpse of the ocean. The fire place creates a very inviting space to relax as a family.
The backyard has an open fire pit, a large double story cubby house and a chook pen with 3 friendly layers. A brand new mega kids park has recently been completed in the reserve backing onto our house.

We had a lovely week in Katie's home in Ocean Grove. The house was well equipped and well located. Great accommodation for a couple or a family. Warm, clean and comfortable.. Katie was a pleasure to deal with at every stage of the arrangements. Would definitely swap again.

We had a fantastic stay at Katie and Nathans house in Ocean Grove, Victoria. It is a beautiful location with great beaches nearby. It is a great location to explore Torquay, Barwon Heads, Queenscliffe, Bells Beach and the Great Ocean Road. The house was perfect for our family, very comfortable to come to home to at night. On this occasion we also swaps cars which was very convenient. Thanks Katie and Nathan for being awesome hosts!

We had such a lovely stay at Katie's gorgeous home in Ocean Grove. It had everything we needed for a 4 night escape. The house was immaculate - amazing for a mum of three. Will definately be back and hope to swap with this gorgeous family again. We had a great holiday ! Very comfortable. Great big deck with sea glimpses. Close to shops and Barwon Heads.
