River Nook - EARLY CHECK IN - Great location! (499559)
Welcome to The River Nook on Hurst - your cosy coastal retreat in beautiful Ocean Grove.
Nestled just 50 meters from the tranquil Barwon River and a short walk to the beach, shops and local cafes, this neat and tidy double-story townhouse is the perfect base for a relaxed seaside getaway.
With three comfortable bedrooms and one central bathroom, plus courtyard, smart TV, free wifi, split system heating and cooling downstairs, The River Nook is ideal for couples, families or small groups.
Step inside to find a warm and inviting space, thoughtfully styled for comfort and convenience. On the entry level you walk through a small laundry with washing machine, through to the open plan living room and adjoining courtyard equipped with outdoor dining space and Webber BBQ. The kitchen is small but sufficiently equipped for a small group with all the necessary kitchen essentials including a dishwasher. The dining space sits four guests and there are stools by the bench for additional guests. The cosy lounge area has a smart TV allowing guests to login to their own streaming accounts.
Upstairs you will find a bathroom with toilet and shower, a small bunk room, a second bedroom with 2 x single beds, and the third bedroom with a queen bed. Bedrooms 2 and 3 both open up to a small balcony.
Perfectly located with the Barwon River at the end of the street. The beach and shops are both a short ten-minute walk away and we have a couple of great cafes within a five-minute walk.
The local area is popular for great beaches, golf courses, fishing and walking tracks. There are many great restaurants and wineries to visit in the area. Adventure Park is a ten-minute drive away and an amazing family day out!
