About this property
Forest Trails Escape Bushland Serenity near Beach
A peaceful coastal retreat surrounded by bushland, just minutes from Austinmer Beach and Thirroul’s vibrant café and dining scene. Discover local gems like the Sea Cliff Bridge or hike the Sublime Point track for panoramic views over the coastline. This relaxed yet refined home invites you to slow down — savour coffee on the balcony, curl up by the fire, or share alfresco meals beneath the stars. With calming outlooks and thoughtful comforts, it’s the perfect escape to recharge and reconnect.
Tucked into native bushland, this elevated single-level home offers privacy and tranquil outlooks. The open-plan living room welcomes you with timber floors, high ceilings and a stone fireplace, while soft seating, a curated book collection and a smart TV invite slow, restful moments.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with sleek appliances, a premium coffee machine and everything needed for easy meal preparation. Adjacent, the dining area is styled for casual entertaining, with soft lighting and natural textures that reflect the home’s calming aesthetic. After meals, step out onto the treetop balcony — a serene setting for meditation, creative inspiration, or a glass of wine among the treetops.
Further down the hall, two serene bedrooms provide restful spaces. The primary features a king bed with crisp linen, blackout curtains, and calming views through expansive windows to the surrounding foliage. The second bedroom includes a queen bed, built-in storage, and a peaceful garden-facing aspect. The sleek bathroom features a rain shower, a bathtub and ample natural light, while a laundry offers added convenience with a washer, dryer and powder room.
Outdoors, a secluded garden patio invites slow afternoons, complete with a gas BBQ, sun loungers and alfresco dining beneath the trees. Whether it’s a relaxed lunch in dappled sunlight or stretching out with a book, it’s a tranquil space to connect with the outdoors.
The home is equipped for year-round comfort with central heating and cooling, ceiling fans, and a wood-burning fireplace for cosy nights in. With reliable Wi-Fi, a carport for one vehicle and 24/7 free street parking, every detail is considered for a seamless stay.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
Tucked away in peaceful bushland yet just minutes from the coastline, this retreat offers the perfect mix of seclusion and convenience. A six-minute drive takes you to Austinmer Beach — a beautiful stretch of sand with an ocean pool, and local favourites like Austi Beach Café and Shells Austinmer for fish and chips. Head six minutes south to Thirroul’s buzzing village strip, where you’ll find everything from Coles for easy groceries to standout dining at Boveda, South Sailor, and Duck In Heaven, plus live performances at Anita’s Theatre. For breathtaking scenery, drive ten minutes north to the Sea Cliff Bridge for a coastal walk above the waves, or venture 17 minutes inland to Sublime Point Lookout — a stunning spot for hikes, picnics, and seasonal whale watching with panoramic views over the Pacific.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
