About this house rental

Character home within walking distance to Port Campbell town centre and beach.
10 minute drive to the 12 Apostles and other main attractions of the Great Ocean Road.
Spacious native garden, balconies, large deck and outdoor space to relax.
Unlimited NBN WIFI, free on site parking for at least two cars in front of the house.

Please note: We supply firewood for one night during the winter months of June to August. If you need additional firewood, you can find some in the local supermarket.

Our house used to be an old school house in a small country town called Carpendeit. It was built around 1915 and was moved to it's current position in Port Campbell around 1997.
Within a short drive of about 10 minutes from the 12 Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and Gibson Steps, The Old School House is a perfect hub for exploring everything the Great Ocean Road has to offer.
It is a charming home full of character.

There are two bedrooms upstairs: a main with a queen size bed and a smaller bedroom with two single beds.
For additional guests after 4 people, there is the option of a pull-out sofabed in the living room downstairs (converts to a queen size bed) or a spare mattress in the study upstairs.
For any guests traveling with a baby or small child, there is a travel cot available to use at no extra charge.

Please note that bed linen and towels are provided.
All of the bed sheets, including the doona covers, towels, face washers and tea towels, are freshly washed for our guests when we get the house ready.
Please ensure to let us know the correct number of guests so that we can provide enough towels and prepare the correct number of beds.

There are two balconies upstairs. A large deck wraps around 3 sides of the house downstairs.
There is a BBQ on the deck for you to use if you wish.
We have an outdoor fire pit in the backyard and a wood-fire oven in the living room.

We are keen to keep the character of the house. The kitchen cabinets are the old school house drawers , which gives it a rustic look, whilst providing all of the modern amenities you need to make your stay comfortable: full size fridge with freezer, freestanding electric oven and stove with range hood, electric water kettle and toaster. (Please note that pots, pans, plates, bowls, cutlery etc are all provided.)
There are two toilets in the house. The separate toilet next to the bathroom will remind you of an Australian outhouse with the corrugated metal walls.
The spacious bathroom has a second toilet, a bath tub (dimensions are: overall length 1.5m, overall width 0.7m) and a separate shower.
There is an air-conditioner in the living room for heating in winter and cooling in summer as well as a wood-fire heater for cosy winter nights.
There is a panel heater in the main bedroom and a radiator heater in the second bedroom.
If using these heaters, please ensure these are switched off when leaving the house.

There is a large dining table that seats 8 people if you wish to invite some friends over for dinner.

Please note: Bedrooms are upstairs, toilets are downstairs. Entry to the house is via a set of stairs. Plenty of parking available along the driveway in front of the house.

The house was in a quiet street and close to town. The gardens were lovely and the property was very clean. Great location close to many sights on the Great Ocean Road.
