About this property
The White House Ocean Views Tennis Court in Lorne
Summary:
Welcome to The White House, a much-loved Lorne holiday home where classic Australian beach-house living meets beautifully considered coastal style.
The Space:
Stay 3 Pay 2 May 1st - September 1st including long weekend, school holiday & Marathon Season
Stay 7 Pay 5 May 1st - September 1st including long weekend, school holiday & Marathon Season
There is a certain magic surrounding The White House. A once tired 1950s weatherboard home, considered by many as a knock down, is now the holiday home people drive past and slow down to look at, witnessing an opportunity taken, rather than one lost.
Keeping alive the traditional Australian outdoor lifestyle of sun, surf and sand, The White House is much more than a renovated beach home, it is a commitment to space and recreation. The house sits on one of the most expansive parcels of ocean view property in South Lorne. Undulating from tall gums through luscious grassed zones and landscaped gardens to land finally on the most impressive tennis court. Its elevation and Northern alignment affords spectacular vistas from every corner of the property.
Not only does The White House nurture its original charm, it also showcases coastal interior styling at its best. From the pale watery palettes of sea green and shades of sand, to the earthy timbers, every last detail has been carefully considered. In every aspect of living the quality you would expect in your own home is provided. Three bedrooms upstairs flank the main lounge and kitchen dining area, all casting eyes over the impressive 4 x 12 metre silver ash deck. Separately accessed downstairs is a 4th bedroom, main bathroom and laundry. Key features include a suspended fireplace, top of the range beds and high comfort mattresses with luxurious bedlinen. Outdoors for your enjoyment are queen sized hammocks, recreational equipment, and an outdoor shower with a view.
A decision was made at The White House to reignite beauty rather than taking a far easier path towards building the next big thing. Hand in hand was a commitment to choose green space over footprint. Combined, these choices have resulted in much more than a spectacular holiday home, they have kept alive a Lorne tradition.
A word from the owners
"It’s the little things that make a big difference.
We believe that comfort is the most important element for a fantastic holiday and have selected high-quality sofas, beds, linen and soft furnishings with this goal in mind. We are passionate about beautiful environments and as such have curated a beach house to love with indoor plants, images of Lorne and specially selected homewares.
Just bring a bag of clothes and a box of food because everything else is provided from beach towels to tennis racquets and balls, sporting equipment along with games and books inside. With fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms.
Thanks to the large land size, extensive gardens and lawns, and an absence of property fencing, expect a feeling of space and privacy where kangaroos visit daily along with families of kookaburras and koalas coming and going.
For your enjoyment, almost everything that’s within a home you can expect to find in generous supply. From organic body wash and ample soft bathroom towels to outdoor hammocks and cushions and an abundant herb garden for use.
Naturally scented laundry detergents and all the fun kitchen items you could want. Including tea, coffee, chai and hot chocolate, oil, herbs and spices, lots of wine glasses plus a bottle from our family winery in WA, for your drinking pleasure.
If in doubt – don’t pack it – you will find it supplied.
We like to keep it simple, so you can have a holiday.
