Perched above the road, this beachside retreat boasts 180-degree ocean views that can be savored from the expansive deck or while lounging in bed. Enjoy morning beach walks and day-long hangs just 70 steps away. ## Reviews 10 Exceptional ### Entire home 3 bedrooms2 bathroomsSleeps 81292 sq ft ## Popular amenities - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### Surf Shack - Beach Front Perched just above the Great Ocean Road the Surf Shack has incredible uninterrupted 180-degree ocean views. And the water is just 60 paces away, making it a perfect place to hang out after a day on the beach or exploring the Otway Coast Hamlets region. **The Space:** Here, nature takes centre stage with endless beachfront delights, rock pools, bush trails, and cascading waterfalls. Enjoy morning strolls on the beach and lazy days by the shore, just steps away from the Surf Shack's doorstep. A leisurely 15-minute walk along 'Paddy's Path' leads you to the Wye General Store and Wye Beach Hotel. Relax on the expansive deck, lounge indoors while admiring the glorious ocean views, or unwind on the daybed with the sound of crashing waves as your lullaby. The fully-equipped kitchen invites culinary adventures, while outdoor BBQ sessions offer a chance to soak up the scenery. Inside, ample space awaits for both relaxation and entertainment. Gather around the eight-seater dining table for board games, or cozy up by the wood heater on the corner-style couch. Downstairs, find convenience in the bathroom-laundry setup and a separate toilet. Upstairs, wake to ocean views and greet the sunrise from comfy queen bedrooms and dream of ocean voyages from the four-berth bunk room across the hallway. A second bathroom provides a roomy walk-in shower and toilet. **Note:** Max 8 guests will have private use of Surf Shack: \- Booking for 1-2 guests you will have access to 1 x queen sized room (other rooms remain closed) \- Booking for 3-4 guests you will have access to 2 x queen sized rooms (bunk room remains closed) \- Booking for 5-8 guests you will have access to all bedrooms If the above room configuration is not suitable for your group please contact us to discuss your requirements. Footing it around Separation Creek and Wye River is best, with the beach just across the road it's easy to leave your car parked off street at the house. Separation Creek is a little more than a two hour drive from Melbourne and we recommend you have your own transport to explore more of the beautiful Otway Ranges and the Great Ocean Road. There is private off street parking on site for up to 2 vehicles. A rail service to Geelong and bus service from Geelong link Melbourne to Separation Creek and Wye River. I live locally so give me a call, preferably between 8am-9pm. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the sea - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,292 square feet ## Similar properties ![TV, fireplace, DVD player, music library](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32150000/32149500/32149477/6e03e391.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Top Deck - Cosy Wood Fire, WIFI, Stylish Townhouse in a Suburb Lorne Location Lorne - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning - Barbecue grill 9.6 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-20&endDate=2026-04-21&selected=32149477&PinnedHotelID=32149477&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, DVD player, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59810000/59800200/59800156/16892798.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seaview House - Location, space and class Lorne - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-20&endDate=2026-04-21&selected=59800156&PinnedHotelID=59800156&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44780000/44774200/44774173/cc3eb836.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Silver Birches - Stroll To Town Lorne - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 8.0 Very good 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-20&endDate=2026-04-21&selected=44774173&PinnedHotelID=44774173&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, video game console, Netflix](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33550000/33545800/33545791/7aa4a952.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Horizons - A Luxurious Retreat Lorne - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-20&endDate=2026-04-21&selected=33545791&PinnedHotelID=33545791&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/65000000/64020000/64019200/64019182/f37ab577.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceania 3 - Boutique apartments setting a new standard in beach living Lorne - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-20&endDate=2026-04-21&selected=64019182&PinnedHotelID=64019182&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32150000/32149900/32149817/87ab54f0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lorne Lodge - Stylish, Views, WIFI, Wood Fire, Everything you Need Lorne - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-20&endDate=2026-04-21&selected=32149817&PinnedHotelID=32149817&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34200000/34196300/34196220/e15f4274.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Maddlyn - Pay TV, cosy wood fire in a prime location Lorne - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill 8.4 Very good 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-20&endDate=2026-04-21&selected=34196220&PinnedHotelID=34196220&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110270000/110266900/110266863/0dae3a40.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seaview Cottage - Perfect for couples or families, with beaches and trails nearby!

The owner clearly cherishes this home. It’s the tidiest and most manicured home we’ve stayed in, period. The view from all the rooms is just incredible, access to the beach just across the road, and you can walk via a hidden path to Wye River in about 10 minutes. The beds are comfy, the shower and bathrooms awesome. The kitchen is great. Overall you couldn’t pick a better place to stay. ##### David C.
