Rest body and mind at Driftaway Cottage.
Relax with the rhythm of the elements and ever-changing light across the Wilsons Promontory mountains. Watch seabirds diving after fish, whales and occasional pod of orcas passing as they migrate. All from the comfort of this beautiful artists cottage.
Epitomising the Swedish term ' Laghom" (just enough) the cottage has been thoughtfully renovated in recent years.
The light filled, open plan kitchen, dining and lounge, has a modern beach house feel, with high-quality kitchen finishes and appliances.
Quality is evident in the artisan made timber and stone benches, cupboards and beautiful Travertine floor tiles of the kitchen.
Enjoy ocean views from the massive windows in the lounge, with its timber floors and new wood fire.
A practical split system air-conditioning provides quick heating or cooling in the living areas as required.
The two comfortable carpeted bedrooms off the living area both have built in robes.
The simple, but exquisitely finished bathroom, features exclusive handmade tiles and bespoke cabinetry.
A separate toilet and practical laundry sits at the rear of the house.
Outside, a series of garden rooms create space to enjoy the different facets of the property, starting with a sheltered deck off the living area, perfect for long laid-back summer barbecues and drinks.
A fire pit at the front of the property, overlooking the ocean, is set in landscaped, easy maintenance native gardens, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the stunning sunrise and sunsets.
At the rear of the house 'en plein air' sits a wonderfully eccentric outdoor bathroom complex, with antique zinc bath, shower, recycled timber decks and Swedish style sauna.
The property water supply comes from a 50,000L (approx.') rainwater tank. A powered garden shed, provides storage or workshop space.
The house is situated on a large elevated block of land in the exclusive Bayside Drive enclave, just a few meters walk to Walkerville beach. The electric gate and drift wood style fence keep it private and secure.
Positioned within easy reach of Wilson's Promontory National Park, the townships of Fish Creek and Tarwin Lower and on the very edge of Cape Liptrap Regional Park. All just under 2.5hours drive from central Melbourne.
