Set just a few streets back, an 800m walk, from the sweeping sands of Long Beach, 19 De Guichen Drive delivers a rare blend of coastal ease and refined farmhouse charm, currently operating as a highly successful short-stay retreat known as Kookaburra Beachhouse .
Whether continued as premium accommodation, embraced as a luxurious holiday escape or enjoyed as a full-time family residence, this beautifully crafted home invites you to slow down and savour the best of Robe living.
Framed by traditional post and rail fencing and surrounded by thoughtfully landscaped gardens, the home immediately sets a relaxed, rustic tone. Effortlessly maintained by a pop up auto timer sprinkler system, complemented by an automatic water softener.
A wide timber veranda with exposed beams becomes an extension of daily life, offering the perfect setting for morning coffee, long lunches with friends or balmy evenings as the sea breeze drifts in from nearby Long Beach.
Inside, the home unfolds into a light-filled open plan living, dining and kitchen domain, where pitched ceilings and expansive windows create a sense of space and calm.
A striking stone-framed open fireplace anchors the living area, inviting cosy winter nights, while soft sheer curtains, timber-look flooring and a warm, neutral palette reflect the home's coastal-meets-country inspiration.
With ducted heating and cooling the home is comfortable no matter the season.
Sliding doors seamlessly connect indoors to out, enhancing the home's effortless entertaining appeal.
At the heart of the space, the kitchen is both functional and inviting, centred around a generous stone-look island bench with breakfast bar seating and statement pendant lighting.
Quality appliances, including a 90cm Westinghouse oven and an electric dual heat zone ceramic cooktop, paired with extensive storage and a large pantry to ensure it caters equally well to family living or hosting guests in a short-stay setting.
Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned to suit families and groups, with four beautifully appointed bedrooms featuring timber floors, built-in robes and abundant natural light.
The master suite is a true retreat, complete with pitched ceilings, exposed beams and direct access to the veranda, alongside a stylish ensuite with double shower and designer finishes.
The main bathroom is equally impressive, offering a deep soaking tub framed by designer finger tiling for a touch of everyday luxury.
Outdoors, lush lawns, native plantings and a charming cubby house create a private haven for children and guests alike, while the proximity to the beach encourages a lifestyle of morning swims, sunset walks and endless summer days.
It is a place where weekends stretch longer, gatherings feel effortless and every detail has been considered to create a warm, welcoming coastal sanctuary.
