About this property
Beach Shack on Taits
Enjoy the delights that Barwon Heads has to offer in our quirky beach shack. The inside of the house has been recently renovated, with plenty of natural light making it a cosy and inviting house to relax in. Located a few minutes walk from the Barwon River and just a short 15 minute walk to the main street, you have access to all that Barwon Heads has to offer without the need to jump in the car. If you prefer the beach, it is only a 5 minute drive away.
