Charming French Cottage by the Barwon River

Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac just steps from the Barwon River estuary, this French-inspired cottage blends timeless charm with modern updates for a truly inviting coastal escape. Recently renovated, the home retains its character while offering stylish upgrades that make for a comfortable and elegant stay.

Inside, the bright kitchen and bathrooms feature modern appliances, airy finishes, and thoughtful details. The open living and dining spaces flow seamlessly to the expansive outdoor deck, perfect for family meals or long afternoons in the sun. With four spacious bedrooms, two boasting private en-suites and the others serviced by a main bathroom with a bathtub, this home provides flexibility and comfort for families or groups of friends.

The property’s design caters to year-round enjoyment, with split system air conditioning and hydronic heating throughout. Large windows bring in plenty of light, while the indoor spaces overlook the beautifully landscaped gardens and outdoor entertaining areas. A secure double garage ensures peace of mind, whether for longer stays or weekend getaways.

Outdoors, guests can relax in the fully-fenced, cottage-style garden, an ideal retreat for children and pets to play safely. The large deck is a standout feature, offering both shaded and open-air areas for barbecues, alfresco dining, or simply unwinding with a book after a day of exploring Barwon Heads.

With direct access to riverside boardwalks, it’s easy to enjoy morning strolls or scenic walks with your dog. A short drive takes you to the local dog-friendly beach, and the thriving cafe and boutique shopping scene of Hitchcock Avenue is within walking distance. Whether you’re here for a quiet retreat or to enjoy the vibrant coastal lifestyle, this home offers the perfect base.
