Local attractions

Inverloch is a popular seaside holiday spot, 2 hours’ drive from Melbourne. Conditions for canoeing and water-skiing are excellent and the winds from Bass Strait make sailing and sailboarding ideal. Those keen on surfing have only to make their way around Point Smythe on the isthmus, to the more turbulent waters of Venus Bay.

The calm beaches along Anderson Inlet are ideal for families and relaxation, or a surf beach for the more adventurous holiday maker. Sections of the beach are dog friendly. There’s also fishing, wind surfing, diving and boating opportunities. As a top tourist destination, Inverloch and its surrounds offer plenty of activities, eating options and rainy day fillers. It is only 45 minutes’ drive away from Wilsons Promontory which is the ideal spot for a National park day trip. It’s also close to Phillip Island and the famous penguin parade. Wonderful sights can be appreciated along this route.
For a little exercise why not take the 1.5km Screw Creek Nature Walk. This walk will take you through grasslands and white mangroves. It begins near the foreshore caravan park. There are also several rail trails to enjoy a good cycle, one starting at Wonthaggi that works it's way to Phillip Island and another from Leongatha to Port Welshpool.
Wonthaggi, just 12km west on the Bass Highway, offers all the regional centre shopping options, services and recreation activities you’ll need during your Inverloch stay.
For jazz lovers Inverloch has a festival dedicated to the genre on the Labour Day long weekend. A street parade and plenty of bands will keep you entertained.
Inverloch has great places to eat, 2 hotels, supermarket, bakeries & much more!

Great & very well located property

This little beach cottage is very centrally located in Inverloch, with some heritage history attached to it. While on the simpler side, it was well looked after and clean, and it has plenty of room for 6 people (3 bedrooms, one of those is an annexe). We especially loved the garden that also had a covered patio so we could sit outside even if it was raining.

Gorgeous cottage - I would love to know its history. The location couldn't be better. The garden is pretty and very neat. A pity the rain and cold kept us away from it. Excellent value for money.

Clean and convenient place in a lovely neighbourhood

Thank you for allowing us to use the cottage. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Only a couple of things prevented me from giving 5 stars. 1) A leaking basin tap. 2) No provision of linen. Thank you. Pal

Inverloch Beach House

The holiday house was old, but it had been renovated and in really good clean condition. I dont understand why a service fee was charged when they required us to vacuum the place. I think the rent should have covered it.

4 days in for Moto GP

The location was excellent for the reason we were in Victoria. We did find that the house needed some maintenance and there needs to be a deeper clean. I needed to move the draws in one of the bedroom as I dropped something down the back. There was a significant amount of other stuff from earlier people. In general the 3 of us agreed that we were lucky our wives were not with us as they would not have stayed there.

We had everything we needed and could just relax and enjoy the weekend. It’s a great central location too. Please note, the sliding door to the back yard needs repair. It is very difficult to open and close and while we were able to lock it, the door is not sealed.

The location was so close and convenient to everything, the heater worked well making it cozy and the couch was comfortable. As advertised it was no frills but it had what we needed. Our host responded promptly with the one query we sent.

About the host

Hosted by Gavin Dore

Host profile image
Gavin and Jenny Dore welcome you to our little home away from home. We live in Vermont South and have 4 children.

Why they chose this property

Inverloch was the family beach destination for me when I grew up in Warragul. After caravanning back there a few years ago I was bitten to find a holiday house.

What makes this property unique

The house was originally a coal miners cottage located at Jumbunna and was carted down the hill by bullocks, along with its sister houses on both sides of this property in 1925.
