Eco friendly, ocean view, award winning, luxury beach house
Just 2 hours from Melbourne, an architectural designed, sustainable house situated in the award-winning Cape Ecovillage; Banksia Bliss is the ultimate beach get away. The house is just a short walk-through community gardens to the popular beaches of Cape Paterson (700m). The house has three bedrooms downstairs plus a rumpus with additional sleeping options. The rumpus has a Smart TV with Netflix, Stan, Binge etc and is great for kids. There is also a fully equipped laundry. Upstairs is an open plan living area with feather filled couches and another Smart TV. There is also a great deck with ocean views. The deck is perfect for viewing the amazing Cape sunsets. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances including an induction stove top, coffee machine and soda stream. There are two modern bathrooms and an outdoor shower. The beds have super comfortable mattresses and are made up with luxury linen (all have King size doonas). The house is great for dogs (by arrangement) and has a fully fenced yard. The yard has a lovely landscaped native garden and an outdoor table tennis table. There are also bikes and skateboards that can be used. An added bonus is the two car garage equipped with electric car charger!
The Ecovillage has fantastic paths for walking and cycling and a great adventure playground for kids. The paths meander through wetlands, with the sounds of multiple species of frogs forming a chorus at night. Be prepared to encounter native wildlife such as kangaroos and echidnas on your walks. he Cape Tavern, the local pub is also a short stroll away as is the Channel Store.

This is a beautifully presented , really well thought out extremely comfortable place . The hosts are lovely ,responsive to any queries.
The locality at the Cape is a gift.
Family and grandparents stayed together at Banksia Bliss for the wedding of the year in Cape Paterson. The house was beautiful and every detail thought of for a wonderful stay including our pooch. The view from the living area is wonderful. Hope to stay again sometime.
We stayed for the weekend, absolutely loved this house, everything you need. Great location. Beautiful home, all bedrooms downstairs. Living upstairs. Comfortable bed with lovely linen on them, huge en suite & bathroom. Would def stay again.
A repeat visit with different family members to this luxuriously well equipped sustainable house. Plenty of space and everything you need including outdoor equipment such as bikes and table tennis. Lovely view over the park and amazing eco estate to the ocean. Thanks Karen for a great place!
So nice to finally make it to one of the comfortable and eco-friendly homes built at The Cape. Great having the living space up stairs, no heating needed here, and lovely views.
I had a lovely stay at Cape Paterson, the house is well located and has everything you need, it really feels like a home. It was a great opportunity to explore the eco village and check out all the other sustainable houses and estate.
Our two families, with one teen and two young adults, had plenty to do at this house. We walked, rode bikes, swam in the ocean, played games, played tennis and table tennis and sat on the deck watching the ocean. Plenty of room in the house for separate fun and an amazingly well-stocked kitchen for cooking up a feast!
Very lucky to share this beautiful space with 3 generations of my family over summer. Banksia is in a prime location with outstanding views everywhere you look.
The property is exceptionally equipped, we wanted for nothing. It is gorgeously styled with quality linens and towels, fabulous art and homewares.
Our children loved having their own rumpus room for movies and had access to The Cape facilities right at our doorstep.
Karen was a great host with friendly and prompt communication and we highly recommend this special spot.

This property is a great size for 3 couples. It is very comfortable, has space and amenities allowing for a relaxed weekend getaway in Winter. Living is upstairs, bedrooms downstairs. Our pooch also enjoyed her stay with inside and outside enclosed access and beach walks to wear her out. NB: There is an electric car charging port in the garage, but it is not on offer. However, there is a charging station next door which you can see from the living area.
Enjoyed wandering the eco village to the beach each day. The locals are relaxed and welcoming. The house & appliances were all new and clean. Surprised by the thoughtfulness of owners to have so many games, plus table tennis (although too windy to play) a Hoover board, record player with records, real coffee machine and a microwave toastie maker- brilliant. And an EV car charger next door. The surf was very rough and the beach good for short walks. There is a community veggie garden a few hundred metres walk from the house. We enjoyed our stay very much. Karen responded quickly when we needed her. The house is huge and you can bring your pets.
Banksia Bliss was excellent!
The house is spacious, well equipped & very comfortable. The location was ideal for our family offering plenty of parking nearby, easy access to bike riding & walking tracks, near to the basketball courts, tennis courts, playground and offered the most wonderful views of Bass Strait & Capes magnificent sunsets.
The beds were comfortable & the house was fully equiped with all items promised.
We enjoyed using the bikes supplied as well as the outdoor table tennis table.
Our dogs were safe & secure & enjoyed their holiday too!! Including the short walk to the off leash dog park nearby.
The sound of frogs & the many kangaroos we saw were a joy to behold.
We will certainly be back!!
Thanks Karen
The best accomodation experience I’ve had!! This property is exceptionally well appointed and IMO even better than the photos. My 8 + 10yo LOVED the proximity to the basketball court and playground and I could watch them from the balcony/ kitchen window . Spectacular views. A garage FULL of sporting equipment, bikes, skateboards, balls, etc. Beautiful linen, modern appliances, lots of cosy books for sitting in the sun. Heaters in bedroom if you’re there in cooler months. Great air con / ceiling fan. Heaps of fun board games. Big, modern bathrooms. Walking distance to a great cafe and gift shop Zeal and Flow - excellent coffee!! I really appreciated Karen’s exceptional and prompt communication as a host! Loved our stay!! Highly recommend.
What a gorgeous property! The hosts have thougbt of absolutely everything. The unit was SUPER clean and VERY well appointed. We travel as often as we can, and this property is in the top 1 or 2 places for cleanliness, comfort,location....even the grounds are beautifully kept. I can't say enough good things about this little spot on the Hammond Trail.
