Walshan House - Apollo Bay
Discover the enchanting Walshan House, a unique retreat nestled in the heart of the bush yet just minutes from the beach and town conveniences. Set on 1.5 acres of lush gardens and orchards, and bordered by the stunning Great Otway National Park, this mud brick fairy tale home offers a serene escape into nature.
Step through the charming timber French doors adorned with leadlight into a world of rustic elegance. The Wisteria-lined veranda and antique furnishings add a touch of old-world charm to this two-level abode.
The expansive double-height entry and dining area bathe in natural light, creating a welcoming and airy atmosphere. Cozy up in the lounge area by the wood fire, or enjoy a movie on the TV or DVD player. The adjacent sun room, perfect for reading or daydreaming, is stocked with games, puzzles, and toys, ensuring endless entertainment for all ages.
On the main level, you'll find a comfortable queen bedroom and a bathroom featuring a built-in bath with a picturesque view of the National Park. Upstairs, the open mezzanine level boasts a luxurious four-poster queen bed and doors leading to an ocean-view rooftop deck. A single bed with a trundle and another bathroom complete this level.
Double doors from the dining area open onto a deck and paved BBQ area, ideal for alfresco dining and relaxation. The expansive mowed lawn surrounding the house provides ample space for cricket or football games.
Walshan House, located along the iconic Great Ocean Road in Marengo, is just a 5-minute drive from Apollo Bay’s vibrant restaurants, cafes, shops, and a pristine swimming beach. Explore nearby Shelley Beach and the Great Ocean Walk, which meanders through the National Park, offering breathtaking coastal views.
