About this property
Reverie Barn | Sauna + Ocean & Nature
Wake to ocean horizons through picture windows and breathe in fresh coastal air. Nestled in the hills above Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road, this thoughtfully converted barn offers sweeping ocean views and rolling countryside landscapes. Designed for couples, families and small groups, it’s the perfect base to explore the coast. Unwind in your own infrared sauna after beach days or rainforest walks. Enjoy abundant birdlife and, if you’re lucky, spot local koalas.
Reverie Barn is a beautifully converted barn set high in the hills above Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road. Designed for couples, families or groups, this spacious home offers sweeping ocean views, rolling countryside scenery and a peaceful connection with nature.
With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the barn comfortably accommodates larger groups while still feeling warm and inviting. The main living areas open through large glass doors, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor flow and framing dreamy coastal and countryside outlooks.
Relax in your private infrared sauna after beach days, waterfall hikes or scenic Great Ocean Road drives. Gentle heat helps ease tired muscles, reduce stress and support deep rest.
Inside, warm timber interiors, generous living areas and a cosy fireplace create the perfect setting for gathering together. Enjoy multiple dining areas – perfect for long lunches, shared dinners or relaxed breakfasts with a view. The fully equipped kitchen makes group cooking easy, while the freestanding bath offers a moment of quiet indulgence. A full laundry with washing machine and dryer is ideal for longer stays or coastal adventures.
Step outside to soak up rolling countryside surrounds, abundant birdlife and, if you're lucky, local koalas. Watch wedge-tailed eagles soar overhead as you settle into the peaceful rhythm of nature.
The entire home runs on rainwater, filtered through a Puretec whole-house system, so all water – for drinking, showering and bathing – is clean, fresh and beautifully soft.
Just 11 minutes from Apollo Bay’s cafes, beaches and coastal walks, Reverie Barn is the perfect base for:
• Couples - Family holidays • Group getaways • Great Ocean Road adventures • Wellness escapes
A rare blend of ocean, forest and countryside – this is where space meets serenity.

Guests have exclusive access to the barn and its immediate surrounds, ensuring complete privacy throughout your stay. There is another house on the property nearby, however this area is not accessible to guests and we kindly ask that you respect this space.
