A two- story house with sweeping views of Bass Strait and the North Arm.
This house is an ideal family retreat, with enough room for a boat trailer. The back yard is fully fenced making it safe for children and your dog. A large back deck was added in 2023 giving easy access to the large backyard. This compliments the front deck with water views.
The open plan is simple with clean crisp lines so as to not distract from the stunning views that can be enjoyed from all parts of the top level and on the large balcony that runs the length of the house.
There are even glimpses of water views from each of the 3 bedrooms downstairs. One queen, 1 double and bunk beds in the 3rd room. Linen ( Sheets and bath towels ) are provided. You need to bring your own beach towel.
The garden is planted with banksias and other native plants attracting a range of birds that visit daily. As you lie in bed each night you will hear the distant waves from the sea to lull you to sleep. There is no traffic noice from this property to keep you awake.
It is a quiet street away from the bustle of town but only a 2min drive to the beach however with views like this you might be reluctant to leave home.
The facilities are well stocked so that you will have everything you need to be able to cook from home and enjoy dinning outside on one of the large decsk. There is one full bathroom with shower, bath and toilet. This is next to the master bedroom This is an additional shower in the laundry. A 2nd toilet was added to the full bathroom this season with the other toilet in a private space between the laundry and master bathroom.
Pets are to be outside however I am open to discuss some concessions. This is a self-check in property with no owner looking over your shoulder however I am always just a phone call away should you have any questions.
Host was great communicator and checked in to ensure we didnât have any issues. Property was just as advertised and very comfortable. Very clean. Well stocked kitchen with heaps of glasses, plates etc. Will come back again.
We really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable & roomy house with a beautiful view. The back deck & garden was also a lovely place to sit, relax in the sun & watch the bird life. Julie was fantastic with her communication and lovely to deal with.
Really enjoyed our stay here. House was in a great location, clean with wonderful views and everything we needed.
Host was a pleasure to deal with. Fantastic communication.
We had a great couple of days.
The house was perfect for our family and dog.
The back yard was enclosed, so the kids and our dog were safe.
The kids were really excited about the sand pit in the back yard.
Would definitely stay there again.
Great Value
Julie was a wonderful host who ensured we had everything we needed. The house is as described and was wonderful for us, 2 couples and 2 kids. It's about 2.5km to the front up and down some hills but we had a car so found it easy to get about. Lots of birds in the surrounding trees and a good outdoor space. Lots of books and toys for adults and kids.
Julie, our host, has done an amazing job with this property. The home and location is perfect, set in a quiet street overlooking the North Arm. Fastidiously Clean, amazing views and so very relaxing. The beautiful array of native birds in the garden and the enjoyment of eating breakfast with the local magpies is part and parcel of this fantastic home. The lovely big back yard is well fenced and suitable for taking your loved fur babies. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy this very special place. We are already working out when we can return for another stay. Regards Adele and Drew
We had a very enjoyable time staying at Julieâs place. The location is set back from the esplanade up on the hillside which provides amazing views across the region. The house was perfect for the 3 of us and the visit by the local birds on the balcony each morning was a pleasant surprise.
Highly recommend for a family stay.
Situated in a quiet neighbourhood a short drive from Lakes Entrance Esplanade, this house was perfect for our family of 3 adults and a dog, as well as our boat. Julie was quick to reply to questions, and her communication was friendly and helpful. Views from the kitchen/dining/lounge and deck were fantastic. We look forward to staying in this lovely home again.
Amazing place and will be back, the view was so under estimated in the photos. Close to all you need, stayed a week but will be back to explore more. Loved the bbq on the balcony and we also brought our two big dogs along and they loved the big backyard as-well.
I built Banksia waters 15 years ago following a long desire to own a property that looks out to the ocean. I was working full time so it was long term rented. On retirement it was time to enjoy my home so with a fresh coat of paint and a few renos it is now my place to go. My permanent home is in Central Victoria. A small timber cottage with enough land for my horses and a large garden. My long term partner has a farm 60km away so there is plenty to keep me busy.
At this stage of my life I have the luxury of the 2 homes. In the next 10 years I will need to decide which one to keep. For now, holiday renting means I can enjoy the best of both worlds. Lakes Entrance has space. I need room in my life. I hate crowded beaches and busy footpaths. I love being able to walk on the beach and hardly see another person. You don't get that in Torquay, even in the winter. You are close to lots of other places to explore. You can be isolated or entertained. Lakes Entrance has put a huge amount of effort to make this town a holiday destination. Over the years I have seen more and more activities that are family friendly and affordable. If you are not the beachy type, bring your mountain bike and explore the many paths both hilly or family friendly on the rail trails. Heaps of day trips start from here.
