Bird lovers and nature lovers will adore Noarlunga. It is located in a 50+ acre area of bush which is full of wildlife and birds. Right next door is the Coastal Reserve National Park which extends all along the deserted shoreline to the national park at Wilson's Promontory. We plan to maintain all this acreage as a nature reserve in perpetuity and by coming to stay at Noarlunga you are helping us in this endeavour. Look at the location in Google Earth and you will see just how vital it is to protect this unique piece of remnant bushland.
The entrance to Winkarlin Beach is less than 100 meters from the driveway of Noarlunga. The intertidal zone can be wet but once you reach the beach it is safe and sandy. At high tide go for a swim and at low tide go fishing off the 'flat rock'. Noarlunga means 'fishing place' in the aboriginal Kuarna language and there are a number of good fishing spots close by.
If you prefer to stay close to home, you can watch wombats, echidnas and other animals come to the back garden pond for a drink and a dip. We have a list of over 100 species of birds that can be seen at or around Noarlunga.
Please ask if you would like to bring your dog with you. We do not allow them in the house but you can bring their bedding and they can stay in our outside dog run and kennel.
Features of the house
You will be treading lightly at Noarlunga as all the electricity is solar powered. However this means you do need to be prepared to do without a microwave and TV! The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas cooker, solar powered fridge and the necessary pots and pans.
Two comfortable queen bedrooms are provided, each with its own ensuite shower. In addition there is a bathroom, dining area, family room, living room with 'open' gas fire, and a third bedroom/study area which can accommodate one or two children.
At night try turning out the lights and looking at the stars! You will be amazed by what you can see once you have left all the towns behind.
Corner Inlet or the surf beaches
If you want the excitement of surfing it is only a 20 minute drive to the terrific beaches at Waratah Bay or the patrolled beach at Sandy Point. Alternatively, you can explore the quieter beaches of Corner Inlet where you are much more likely to meet Black Swans than people.
Corner Inlet is the most easterly, and consequently the warmest, of Victoria's large bays. It has a complex network of beaches, mangroves, saltmarsh, mud banks, seagrass beds, rocky islands and deeper channels. Corner Inlet supports huge numbers of migratory water birds and healthy populations of seafloor animals and plants that are rare or absent elsewhere in Victoria. For more details check out the Parks Victoria website.

This charming rural cottage proved to be a favorite on my 3 month trip. It is particularly suited to those enjoying solitude, birds and wombats and is very close to Wilson's Prom. This treasure of a properly includes traditional architecture with modern plumbing and stunning stained glass windows.

Close to beautiful Corner Inlet with great views of the Prom.
Large spacious house with great en suite bathrooms in a lovely native setting.
More than a functional kitchen with gas too. Could do with a double sink and we had difficulty with the toaster working ��� but we are foodies so the kitchen is a preoccupation. Keys to open the double fronted dead locked door would have been good on the 40 degree day to cool the house down in the evening.
No problems with the solar, expect maybe for the toaster not working.
The beautiful stain glass windows throughout the house were also a nice touch.

This charming house had everything we needed. Peace and quiet, a fireplace to sit around, a garden for the three children to play in and close to some of our favorite nature spots in Victoria. We enjoyed to be in this cosy place in winter, and we would love to be back in summer time and experience the abundant wild life drinking at the little pool a few meters from the house.

We loved staying at Noarlunga for the complete privacy and seclusion it offered. It was also so great to be ablt to take our busy bassets that suprisingly hung around. With lots of walks around the property and short walk to the water, it was great and new area for us to explore.
At first I felt the house was eerie, although it faded into complete cosiness. The only thing missing was an extra large couch for lazy book reading days and some history on the place to complete heaven-Thanks again

We really enjoyed our stay and liked Noarlunga from the moment we opened the front gate. A hidden treasure just off the beaten track and so close to the Prom / Tidal River (40mins drive). The welcome was really sweet - thank-you for the yummy homemade jam, and the mowed expanse of lawns. A great spot for kids to play. The house is very comfortable and well presented - the 2 ensuite bathrooms are a real bonus. Thank-you to all. Julie

A magical and charming place hidden in the middle of nowhere. It has plenty of room and some stunning stain glass windows . The nearby beach became inaccessible after some heavy rain overnight but it was still a perfect launching place for exploring some wonderful places nearby including the Prom. We had a great family holiday.

Had a wonderful long weekend at Noarlunga. The comfy cottage brought back childhood memories of the getaways we went on as a family. The lack of a TV was a godsend, we read, talked played scrabble and slowed right down. The swans were beautiful as was the full moon. Only drawbacks were the dog run is pretty basic, and the beach, though close, could only be reached by crossing a seaweedy saltwater inlet that was almost knee deep. Small price to pay for a wonderful and affordable getaway. Would go back anytime!
And thanks Rose and Adrian for the quince jelly for our morning toast!
