About this property

Driftaway Cottage - An enchanting escape

It's easy to relax and feel a world away from it all inside this enchanting mudbrick cottage. Cut deep into a lime stone hill, nestled amongst the trees and parklands; capturing the serenity synonymous with the natural beauty of its coastal location.
This stunning sustainable home built in the late 70’s radiates warmth and rustic appeal, with a beautiful mixture of natural and recycled materials from rammed earth walls and exposed wooden beams, to vintage Telephone booth doors.

Boasting a well-appointed kitchen and generous open plan living/dining space, beautifully styled and featuring a vintage 10-seater canteen dinner table, potbelly fireplace and unique handmade lights and pendants that create an ambiance like no other.

Accommodation includes three generous size bedrooms plus a roof concealed ladder, which pulls down to reveal a stunning fourth bedroom loft. Centrally located and newly renovated bathroom with a beautiful deep bath tub and luxurious shower enhances the exposed stone that adds to the earthy feel of the home.

Just a short 3-minute stroll will lead you to Ocean Grove's hidden treasure Bluewater Lake. A further 10-minute walk and you will discover many of Ocean Grove’s local attractions including, Surf Beaches, Barwon River, Golf Course and the Main Street filled with award winning cafes and restaurants.

After a day of exploring Ocean Grove's endless attractions come back and get lost in your favourite book as you unwind beside the potbelly fireplace or simply relax beneath the trees in the hammock listening to the birds and the sounds of the waves.

If you're a budding chef, gather your friends and family around the wood-fire oven to cook your favourite pizzas whilst the kids toast marshmallows around the fire-pit or explore the playground and large surrounding parklands.

And bring the furry family member too,
We welcome well mannered dogs and are happy to provide dog beds and bowls.
