WOODLANDS RETREAT - stylish and unique, per friendly!

Relax and unwind in this truly unique and stylish property. Boasting a beautiful rustic vibe with its bluestone bricks, large timber beams and a wood fire, whilst also providing some modern comfort with the fully functional kitchen, two lovely bathrooms (one doubles as a laundry), comfy beds, smart TV`s, split system heating/cooling, the most stunning outdoor space ....... the list goes on!



This villa is situated on over four acres in one of Ocean Groves most sought after locations, and backs on to the Ocean Grove nature reserve. Its so delightfully peaceful and enjoyable to relax amongst the gum trees and wake up to the sounds of the local bird life!

You will have everything you could need for a short stay or extended visit with a full kitchen, laundry facilities and a sun-soaked verandah for endless hours of relaxation.

All this is only moments from the vibrant centre of town while beaches, restaurants, cafes and amenities are all at your fingertips. You can get out and explore the picturesque Bellarine Peninsula and the Barwon River or stay home with a good book and cuddle up in front of the fire!

Gorgeous character filled bluestone cottage set amongst native gardens, short drive from the beach.

The property was secluded enough to be relaxing while close enough to cafes restaurants, the lovely beach .

Peaceful and relaxing

We had such a lovely stay at this property. The photos were accurate, it is a lovely house with lots of space, the kitchen is well appointed and we loved playing the board games provided. There are TVs and air conditioning in both bedrooms, which was appreciated. It was so peaceful to sit outside amongst the trees and just relax. It’s close to town and some great beaches, but we enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle. Thanks so much, our family really enjoyed our long weekend away.

Best of both beach & bush stay

Lovely & peaceful pet friendly holiday stay. Woodlands retreat has nearly everything you need for a get away. While you do need to drive to the beach you have many choices, Ocean Grove, Pt Lonsdale, Queenscliff were the ones we spent our time. We highly recommend Woodlands Retreat.

A hidden gem

We loved our stay at Woodlands Retreat. This villa has everything you need for a wonderful getaway. A well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, heating/air conditioning, a great aspect from every room and creative decor. It was an easy drive to the beach or you can opt to walk if you're energetic. Helen was great to deal with and responded promptly to our queries. We would love to return, perhaps for a little longer next time.

Perfection quiet

Having just bought a house in Ocean Grove Woodlands was a perfect retreat from the chaos of unpacking boxes and meeting tradies. Lovely to kick back at the end of the day. 5 nights was perfect. Thank you, would definitely recommend.
