About this property

Your Perfect Beach Getaway! Pool, Outdoor Kitchen & Room to Unwind

Relax and unwind at our light-filled beachside retreat in Blairgowrie. Just a short stroll to the front beach, shops, cafés, and local playground, it’s the perfect base for a memorable coastal escape.

Our family-friendly home offers spacious open-plan living, a fully fenced yard, solar-heated pool, outdoor entertaining deck with kitchen, and trampoline perfect for beach days, poolside lounging, and relaxed evenings with family or friends.

You will not want to leave!

Our Blairgowrie beach house is a cozy, sun-filled home that has everything you need for a laid-back getaway. The open-plan living space is warm and bright, with polished floorboards, high ceilings, and a comfy gas fireplace to curl up next to on cooler nights. There’s air-con in the main area to keep things cool in summer, and each bedroom has heaters and fans so everyone stays comfy all year round.

The house sleeps eight and is perfect for families or a group of friends. The master bedroom has a queen bed and ensuite, the second bedroom has a double bed with views of the side garden, and the third is a fun kids' space with two sets of bunks. There’s a large bathroom with a bath (ideal after beach days) and a separate laundry with washer and dryer to make things easy.

The north-facing layout means the house is filled with light from morning till evening. The living space opens out to two generous decks, perfect for relaxed breakfasts, evening drinks, or curling up with a book.

One of our favourite spots is the outdoor entertaining area tucked under a lush vine-covered canopy in summer. There’s a big table that seats 10, a plumbed-in gas BBQ, and outdoor fridges so you can settle in for long lunches or dinners under the stars without needing to go inside.

And then there’s the pool. The solar-heated pool is bathed in sunlight all day, making it the perfect place to soak up the holiday vibes. There are double daybed-style lounges and a large umbrella for shade when you need a break from the sun. It’s the kind of place where afternoons slip by with a book in hand, cool drink by your side, and nowhere else you need to be.

The backyard is fully fenced with plenty of space for the kids to run around, plus a trampoline to keep them busy while you relax.

It’s the kind of place that feels easy and familiar the moment you arrive whether you’re swimming, snoozing, cooking, or just soaking it all in.

Once you arrive, you'll never want to leave, as everything you need for a perfect getaway is right here at your fingertips!

Perfect spot for a break
We had a lovely stay at this property. The location is peaceful without being too far from beaches and shops. Check in was easy and our host was welcoming and helpful with her communications. The house was very clean and comfortable, great for days we wanted to just stop, swim and relax. We'd happily stay here again, it was a wonderful place for a holiday.

Fresh, modern poolside retreat.
We had a lovely week at this property with perfect weather for total poolside relaxation! It’s fresh, open and modern inside, with a great kitchen/living space. The pool and deck are heavenly, warm and private. A perfect location for our family getaway. Unseasonably hot weather meant it was hard to keep bedrooms cool overnight, but overall we had a great time and would definitely come back here again at any time of year. Thanks Donna and Brenda - loved it!

Must stay! Amazing!♡♡
We had the most wonderful time. We were greeted by our host who was very friendly. Donna was so nice and allowed us an earlier check in as we have 2 little kiddies and the latest check out (ever) which was amazing so we had full use of the pool on a hot summers day! Thank you so very much♡♡♡ The property was close to shops and the front beach so we had the best of both worlds. House was perfect for 4 adults and 2 kids. Also perfect for crazy Melbourne weather with heating & cooling. Beds are comfortable, good extras such as tea and coffee. Games as well so we had our entertainment sorted. Haven't played pictionary for way too long! Thank you Donna and co ( you know who you are) for your fab hospitality and making us enjoy gorgeous Blairgowrie. See you soon we will be back!

Blairgowrie poolside bliss lived up to all our expectations!
Our stay was relaxing from the get go with great amenities, and amazing location with close proximity to the beach and shops, all of which were a short walk away, assuming you wanted to leave the comforts by the poolside. Communicating with Donna was a breeze, and she was very accommodating from start to finish. Highly recommended and we will definitely return in the future.

Lovely, comfortable home with great pool.
The house is very light and comfortable with everything you need for your holiday. We loved the salt-water pool which was great to play in with the kids and big enough for a bit of swimming too. The pool is completely surrounded by a safety fence for peace of mind for a young family. There is also lots of grassed area and decking to play on and seating for adults to enjoy. We were able to check in early, which was great and our hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Donna Harding

Host profile image
We spent a lot of our youth on the peninsula and always dreamed of having a place of our own. We renovated it ourselves and love the laid back beach feel.

We are a family of three who love nothing more than coming to our beach home to relax and unwind.

We love heading to beach in the morning and sitting by the pool in the afternoon. Then moving onto our outdoor entertaining area for a BBQ and drinks with friends into the early evening.

Whilst there is so much to do on the Peninsula we find ourselves staying in and enjoying our home and all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We love Blairgowrie all year round, in summer for the beach, pool and the action and in winter for the quietness, a walk on the beach, a cozy dinner at home, footy on the TV and the warm gas fireplace.

We hope you enjoy our "happy place" as much as we do.

Our home is very safe, fully fenced so you can use the entire property privately. Great for kids with trampoline and pool and plenty of yard!

What makes this property unique

Winter is gorgeous with sun streaming into the living room. Summer is perfect, beach in the morning and pool in the afternoon the ideal combination. Walking distance to the beach and Blairgowrie shops. No need to use your car!

Lovely quiet street with not a lot of through traffic.

The house is bathed in light, its soothing atmosphere is so enjoyable year round. We have so many guests who return year after year, because they love it so much. The hardest decision you will face is pool or the beach!
