Nestled in the lush green on the edge of the Otway Ranges, a short 600 metre walk will take you to the beach, General Store and Wye Beach Hotel. Immerse yourself in the spectacular natural surroundings where the sounds of birdsong blend with the echo of the ocean waves. Drive to the door (a luxury in the hills of Wye) and unload into the recently renovated single level house. When one of the owners is an architect there is no flat pack kitchen here! The brand new kitchen has all new appliances, loads of bench space, cupboards and draws full of utensils and a funky breakfast bar. There is a big dining table with views out to the trees through large glazed sliders which also give access to the deck and BBQ area. Cosy up on the couch by the wood heater or flick the switch on the wall heater and if you can’t handle the heat in the kitchen there’s always the air-con. Off the living area is a laundry/storage/bathroom area with another door to outside for easy post beach access. A short hallway leads to the two bedrooms both with ample wardrobe space if you're thinking of a longer stay. Separate heating units will keep you warm on cool winter nights and large sliding windows will let in the summer breeze while you sleep. The main bedroom with en-suite has a queen size bed and the second bedroom a king size or two king singles. (You will need to specify your bedding preference for the second bedroom) There are hills in Wye River so be prepared for some hilly walks. If you have a truck load of beach gear then there is plenty of parking by the beach. Wye River 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 Wye River. I live locally so give me a call, preferably between 8am-9pm. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Single level property - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the sea ### 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: 861 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33580000/33570800/33570752/7c0586e4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kenmaure -A cosy retreat Wye River - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 66 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=33570752&PinnedHotelID=33570752&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34620000/34617700/34617629/42ccbab3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wye Dream - Wye River Beach House - 200 metres to beach!
