8 minutes to the Peninsula Hot Spring! Family, couples, workers retreat in Rye

Located in a gorgeous pocket of Rye on a large hill, the home boasts great views and quiet winding walks to parks, bike jumps, the bay and the back beach. A peaceful sanctuary with charm and comfort.

Turn off Owarra Street and the house appears — warm timber, a big deck catching the afternoon sun. Drop the bags, push open the doors, and everyone spreads out. There's room here. Mornings are slow: coffee in the open kitchen, then a wander up the garden path to a glimpse of ocean over the treetops. Afternoons belong to the deck — BBQ on, feet up — and as the sun drops you light the fire pit.

Work from home with two desk setups and fast Wi-Fi, then, as the days get longer in Victoria, by 5:30pm you're swimming at the beach. The house flexes to your group: two queen rooms, a flexi-retreat with a bunk plus room for a king or roll-out, and a study bed — sleeps up to [max].

Come for a weekend or a whole summer. Flexible sleeping — just ask before booking.
