We had a lovely long weekend at this beach house. House is enourmous and beautifully presented. It was very quiet and peaceful and perfect for my sister's 60th birthday family get together.Barwon Heads is a beautiful spot and there are lots of dining out options,Highly recommended.
Our group of 10 friends who have known each other for 40-50 years meet each year and we have stayed at the White Beach House twice now.
We will be booking it again soon for our 2025 catch up.
Beautiful home, tastefully decorated and furnished with quality fittings and everything you need for a luxury stay. The host was very good with communication. Walk to the Main Street with so many cafes and ready to choose from and lots of lovely shops. Highly recommend this property. This was our second stay and we’ll be back.

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are happy you enjoyed the house and hope you’ll come back soon.
We were a group of 8 women, we thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities of this lovely home. Space aplenty, close access to the beach and town. Dined in both nights, the kitchen is well stocked & dining table large enough for an even larger group. Do grab a squishy from Starfish Cafe.
The White Beach House was the perfect house for our family getaway with plenty of room for everyone. The house was superb, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The location was great as everything was just a short walk from the house. The owner and manager were always available if needed. We hope to return one day to the beautiful White Beach House .
The White Beach House is in a great location close to the main streets and the beach. We were a group of nine, and there were plenty of lovely spaces for us all to congregate in. We loved the outside courtyard and bi-fold doors.
The house is set up to cater to a large group with plenty of glasses, crockery, and other kitchen needs.
A beautiful space to spend a weekend with friends.

Myself and 8 other girlfriends who have known each other for 40 plus years stayed at this house for a weekend, it was fantastic.
We could not have asked for a more well appointed house, styled and presented beautifully.

First reaction on entering The White House is “WOW” - such a beautiful home.
So much living space and everything you need is there.
Katrina and Sara were lovely to deal with, nothing was a problem.
House is in a great location and can walk to shops and beach.
Would definitely stay again - my adult children didn’t want to leave the house .

Thanks for the great review Lyn. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay!
My sister and I, along with our children, were in town for a family event. This house was our haven, our escape from outside.
The photos do not do it justice, given the expanse of this home. We truly felt at peace here - it has a beautiful feel, in the way its appointed, furnished, and laid out.
An extremely liveable home for a couple of families. Just perfect!
The White Beach House is easily the best house we’ve ever stayed in. My family was there with me for part of the week, and girlfriends for the rest. Everyone loved it, and some of my friends plan to book it in future. The house is stunning and stylish, spacious, well-equipped, sunny, very comfortable and impeccably clean - impressive for how much there is to clean. While it’s in a very quiet spot, everything is within v short walking distance - the Barwon river, the shops and restaurants, even the walk up and over the bluff is easy. Except for when we went winery hopping and lunching, we didn’t need to get in the car. A very relaxing and fun week. And the people in charge of the property are lovely and easy to deal with. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend.
Hired this beautiful house to stay in with my bridesmaids prior to the big day and then husband & young daughter afterwards. It is just beautiful, would love to do the whole weekend over and over again in this home!
An exceptional property with everything you could possibly want and need. Great location, close to town centre and beach. Thanks Katrina for allowing us to stay in your beautiful house!
