About this house rental

Just minutes from both Port Fairy and Warrnambool, Tower Hill House offers you the best short break or longer stay holiday you could ever want.

Tower Hill House is spacious, extremely comfortable and very well equipped. There are spectacular panoramic ocean views - and 6 acres of native gardens.

In winter you'll be wonderfully warm with the red gum burning wood heater - and there is reverse cycle air conditioning if necessary for those hot summer days.

Relax and look out across 15 kms of ocean from the comfortable sofa in the lounge - and you get the same fantastic panoramic views in the dining area.

There is a fully equipped kitchen complete with Italian Ilve professional chefs stove, new Bosch dishwasher and all mod cons. We supply freshly ground coffee for the espresso machine, as well as useful items such as olive oil, spices, tea, sugar, salt etc.
So you can sit back and read a book from the library, perhaps watch a DVD, listen to music… Or just relax on the north facing sunny verandah, complete with Webber BBQ - or in the garden - Its your choice.

We promise your stay will be as memorable as it is enjoyable!

Like the roos you can hop over the garden fence directly into the nature reserve where there are kilometres of wonderful walks, up and down hills, board walk over water, have a picnic, etc.

Tower Hill House is within an easy distance to so many attractions - The Great Ocean Road and The 12 Apostles, The Grampians, the seal colony at Bridgewater Bay near Portland, are all a leisurely day trip. And over winter the southern right whales arrive at Logan's Beach in Warrnambool.

A few minutes drive away are award winning restaurants, shops and the heritage of Port Fairy and Warrnambool - and right on your doorstep the extraordinary Tower Hill State Game Reserve.

Perfect for a short break or longer stay holiday!

Things to do

Tower Hill Nature Reserve

To see an arial drone video of Tower Hill House and the surrounding nature reserve, please click on the link on the homepage.

Though you can drive through, there is direct access to the reserve from our garden. The Tower Hill Nature Reserve is nestled inside an extinct volcano and is a beautiful haven for all sorts of wildlife.

Tower Hill is also great for bushwalking and picnics (BBQs and facilities provided). Guided day or night tours can be booked at the Tower Hill Natural History Centre (T ), which is open daily.

Tower Hill was created some 25,000 years ago in a violent volcanic eruption. The force of the blast created a funnel shaped crater, which was later filled by a lake and island.

On a walk you could well see possums, echidnas, cape barren geese and wedge-tailed eagles (Australia's largest bird of prey). Keen twitchers might also spot chestnut teal, musk duck and spoonbills from the boardwalks and bird hide. Eagles often soar at dusk.

There are numerous activities and events throughout the year in both Port Fairy and nearby Warrnambool - Including the well known Port Fairy Folk Festival... boat trips, beach walks, golf, shopping, restaurants and great food!

Stunning location with fantastic views

The property was very clean on arrival, and the rooms were spacious, with a great country kitchen. We had superb views of the ocean in the living room! Our labrador dog had a great outside fenced space to play while we were out sight seeing. We ventured into the nature reserve that sits behind the property. Fantastic views of Tower Hill lakes, at sunset we had friendly encounters with kangaroos, rabbits, foxes and many bird species. Our host Richard was very kind and provided much useful local information to make the most of our 5 night stay. Would definitely recommend this superb country escape!

We really enjoyed our stay at Tower Hill House. The house is a beautiful old farmhouse which is large and open and has a great aspect overlooking the ocean in the distance. It has big verandahs, it had an enclosed area for our dog and the beds were large and comfortable. It was very well equipped and clean and Richard was very helpful and quick with communication.
