About this property

This house is an ideal family retreat, with enough room for a boat trailer. The back yard is fully fenced making it safe for children and your dog.
A large back deck was added in 2023 giving easy access to the large backyard. This compliments the front deck with water views.

The open plan is simple with clean crisp lines so as to not distract from the stunning views that can be enjoyed from all parts of the top level and on the large balcony that runs the length of the house.

There are even glimpses of water views from each of the 3 bedrooms downstairs.
One queen, 1 double and bunk beds in the 3rd room.
Linen ( Sheets and bath towels ) are provided.
You need to bring your own beach towel.

The garden is planted with banksias and other native plants attracting a range of birds that visit daily.
As you lie in bed each night you will hear the distant waves from the sea, not the roar of the traffic on the highway below.

It is a quiet street away from the bustle of town but only a 2min drive to the beach however with views like this you might be reluctant to leave home.

The facilities are uncluttered but I am sure that you will have everything you need to be able to cook from home and enjoy dinning outside on the deck.
There is one full bathroom plus a shower in the laundry.
The toilet has its own room giving free access to the bathroom. This space is adjacent to the master bedroom.

Pets are to be outside however I am open to discuss some concessions.
This is a self-check in property with no owner looking over your shoulder however I am always just a phone call away should you have any questions.

Relaxing stay

We really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable & roomy house with a beautiful view. The back deck & garden was also a lovely place to sit, relax in the sun & watch the bird life. Julie was fantastic with her communication and lovely to deal with.

Perfect location with Lakes Entrance

We had a very enjoyable time staying at Julie’s place. The location is set back from the esplanade up on the hillside which provides amazing views across the region. The house was perfect for the 3 of us and the visit by the local birds on the balcony each morning was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend for a family stay.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Holden

I built Banksia waters 15 years ago following a long desire to own a property that looks out to the ocean. I was working full time so it was long term rented. On retirement it was time to enjoy my home so with a fresh coat of paint and a few renos it is now my place to go. My permanent home is in Central Victoria. A small timber cottage with enough land for my horses and a large garden. My long term partner has a farm 60km away so there is plenty to keep me busy.

Why they chose this property

The land was affordable 15 years ago. It is a long way from Central Victoria but being able to see the water was what made my decision.

What makes this property unique

At this stage of my life I have the luxury of the 2 homes. In the next 10 years I will need to decide which one to keep. For now, holiday renting means I can enjoy the best of both worlds. Lakes Entrance has space. I need room in my life. I hate crowded beaches and busy footpaths. I love being able to walk on the beach and hardly see another person. You don't get that in Torquay, even in the winter.
You are close to lots of other places to explore. You can be isolated or entertained.
Lakes Entrance has put a huge amount of effort to make this town a holiday destination. Over the years I have seen more and more activities that are family friendly and affordable.
If you are not the beachy type, bring your mountain bike and explore the many paths both hilly or family friendly on the rail trails.
Heaps of day trips start from here.
