About this house rental

This is the ultimate beach house, walking distance to the beach, close to golf courses, cafe's and wineries.

One of our guests said, "We had a fantastic 'Winter Escape' weekend at the Dunes. There was plenty of room for a large group of us, including 2 babies and a dog, and we had a ball. The open living/kitchen/dining space is perfect, and the log fire a real drawcard. We hope to be back soon! Thank you."

Another said ''We had an amazing time at The Dunes. The location is beautiful, the house is spacious and fantastically well appointed. We catered for large numbers and were able to do so with ease and comfort. Plus there are games, activities, seating, and decking galore. I would definitely recommend it!

The Dunes is a very spacious, beautifully furnished and decorated 2 storey casual timber beach house with all mod cons nestled amongst the tea trees but enjoying sun all day. Treeline views and only a short drive from Blairgowrie and Sorrento. Walking distance to fabulous back beaches and to die for views from the sand dunes.

Sleeps up to 18 in comfort so absolutely brilliant for that landmark celebration or for a wonderful family get to gether.
It is also often used for executive retreats and corporate team building. There are 2 huge separate lounge areas, 2 dining areas, 4 outdoor deck areas and 3 bathrooms. There is a huge and inviting open fireplace, with plenty of wood provided. Perfect for snuggling up next to with a bottle of red or a good book.
There is ample off street parking for 5 cars and even room for a boat.

Just pack your bags and arrive!

We've thought of everything. There are books galore, toys, massive bean bags and DVD's for the kids. The upstairs rumpus room is enormous and great for groups of people wanting to chill out and getaway from it all or for the kids to run around in.

They will never want to leave, there is also an outdoor table tennis table down in the back garden and a Foosball table.

There is tea, coffee and sugar provided plus all the little things that make a difference like, oil, vinegar plus kitchen necessities.

The supermarket in Blairgowrie is very well stocked with loads of fantastic deli items and the closest convenience store is 1k away.
You can walk to the back beach from the house in less than 10 minutes, through the National park. It's a great surf beach and at low tide the rockpools provide endless hours of entertainment for the kids - they are even big enough to jump in. This local beach even has a huge sand dune to climb up and run down. The views from the top are nothing short of spectacular

We stayed as a group of 12 adults for three nights and found the Dunes to be a spacious and quirky property that suited our group. The layout has plenty of room for everyone to spread out and both the indoor and outdoor dining areas accommodated our whole group. The large kitchen was well appointed, with plenty of equipment, crockery and glasses, and the bar seating made it fun for everyone to gather while meals were being prepared. We cooked all our meals on-site and the kitchen handled it well.The house has a quirky charm and although some furnishings, such as in the upstairs bedrooms, are a little dated, the generous space made up for it. Having three bathrooms was a huge plus and the indoor fire was lovely too.While it didn't detract from our stay, a couple of things could be improved: the BBQ was a little tired, but usable, and the outdoor lighting wasn't working - which made BBQing a bit tricky. We also had to do a bit of car shuffling due to limits on the number of vehicles.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, including our walks out to the back beach and rockpool (excellent directions). Many thanks to our host!
