About this property

Jacks Place - A Place in the Sun

Wye River is a picturesque coastal hamlet surrounded by the Great Otway National Park on the Great Ocean Road.

Jacks Place sits on a ridge with views looking east over the gorgeous Wye Beach to the ocean beyond and west up the valley to the forest. Its position means it is sunny all day and it has been designed to be comfortable all year round. In three minutes walk you will be at the beach, the Wye Pub or the Wye General Store and Cafe with its artisan bread and local produce.

The house was built in 2002, and incorporates recycled feature doors and floors into a stylish interior to create a relaxed and warm atmosphere. The home is centred around the open-plan living room with floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows and sliding doors on both sides to capture the amazing all-day views. At night there are blinds to create a pleasant evening space. A funky well-appointed kitchen looks over a flat backyard so the cook can keep an eye on the kids.

There's a cosy wood stove plus a portable heaters for winter warmth. Decks front and back mean you can watch the sun rise over the sea with your morning coffee and the sun going down over the forest as you light up the BBQ. You'll find occasional visits from koalas, normally spotted in the big gum trees behind. The garden attracts honeyeaters, Rufus bristle birds, flycatchers, kookaburras, bowerbirds, herons, king parrots, and superb blue wrens. In the cooler months when the rain clouds chase the rainbows over the horizon, you can laze in front of a fire or bird watch from your armchair!

There are three bedrooms, to suit two small families or one bigger family. The third bedroom or bunk room is rather compact and beds not really suitable for adults over 62. Jacks Place has been designed for accessibility and has a gently sloping entrance ramp, an open bathroom, and handrails for family members who need a bit of help for stability.

Telstra mobile network is preferable for Wye River

So be adventurous, or just come and sit.

You're always welcome at Jacks Place!

Great Beach house with amazing views
Our family of 4 loved our stay at Jack’s Place. It had everything we needed and is so close to the pub, beach and general store. The view from the open plan kitchen living area is stunning. I could sit and watch the waves roll in all day.

Cute Little weekend away
Stayed here with family over a weekend. Cute little place, very homely and welcoming. Beautiful living area with big open glass overlooking the ocean. Birds visit all day every day. Two good sized bedrooms, third bedroom with bunks is very small. Fire was stoked ready to light on arrival, binoculars to check out the surfers, lots of thoughtful things around this house, and easy walk everywhere. Would definitely stay again.
