Moonah Ocean Retreat with Beach Access
Summary:
Discover your perfect coastal getaway in this inviting 3 bedroom home nestled among the moonah trees of Rye. Just moments from the dramatic Number 16 beach, this property is ideal for families and beach lovers alike. Relax on the patio with a BBQ after a day of exploring local golf courses and hot springs. With a fully equipped kitchen, smart TV, and plenty of space for everyone, this holiday home provides a comfortable and convenient base for your next Mornington Peninsula adventure.
The Space:
Step into Moonah Ocean, your private moonah-tree sanctuary, just a short walk from the dramatic Number 16 coastline with its cliffs, rock platforms, blowholes, and the striking sandstone formation known as Lizard Head.
Tucked within native coastal woodland, this spacious 3-bed, 2-bath home feels relaxed and private. Mature moonah trees surround the property, and at night the soft lighting highlights their sculptural shapes, creating an inviting and atmospheric garden outlook. It’s an easy base for beach days, coastal walks, golf, and visits to the Peninsula’s hot springs, with the calm bay beaches only a short drive away.
Inside, the house is light-filled with plenty of space for families and small groups.
