Gulah House - Kennett River

Nestled among the gum trees with friendly koalas as neighbors, this modern, beautifully finished house offers a tranquil coastal retreat.
The two-story residence boasts a spacious design, with an expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area upstairs that seamlessly flows onto a large deck. The deck features a stylish outdoor setting and BBQ, perfect for alfresco dining. The contemporary kitchen is equipped with an electric oven and cooktop, as well as a Breville pod coffee machine (BYO pods). The cozy lounge area includes a large TV and reverse-cycle heating and cooling, complemented by a wood fire that adds warmth and charm during the cooler months.
With two bedrooms, two generous bathrooms, and a separate laundry, Gulah is a serene haven among the gum trees for your next coastal getaway.
Perched along the ridge of Kennett River, the property overlooks the stunning Great Otway National Park, offering distant ocean views toward Wye River. Enjoy regular visits from koalas, king parrots, crimson rosellas, cockatoos, and kookaburras!
Located just 1 km inland from the coast—approximately a 10-minute walk to the popular Kennett River surf beach—this property is ideal for two couples or a family of up to five. Outside, you'll find a fire pit for cozy gatherings in the cooler months (not available during summer).

A Tranquil Escape Surrounded by Nature

My wife and I had a truly peaceful and refreshing stay at this beautiful location nestled in the middle of the trees. The setting was serene — waking up to the sounds of birds and being enveloped by greenery was exactly the kind of escape we were looking for to unwind.The property is located half way between Apollo Bay and Lorne, making it perfect for day trips along the Great Ocean Road. Whether you're after scenic drives, local food, or beach time, everything is within easy reach.And it was an added bonus to see kangaroos, kookaburras and cockatoos around the property.

Perfect for a quiet getaway

Gulah offered our family the ideal mix of relaxation and recreation, situated in between the mountains and beach. We loved feeding the birds from the balcony, playing boardgames and cooking on the Weber bbq while enjoying views of the ocean on one side and valley on the other. The location was great, only a few mins away from walks in the Otway ranges, beaches and rock pools. We even saw a koala from the kitchen window. The house itself is simply beautiful, relaxing, very clean, well appointed and had everything we needed. Would love to stay again.

Thank you. We loved our stay

The house had everything we needed. Was so fabulous to be away from the busy-ness and have our time out. We even had a couple of koalas visit. The cfa were doing a burn off over the long weekend - whilst important and totally understandable - this was disappointing as I suffer from asthma and wasn't prepared for the smokiness.

Far from the madding crowd

The house was light and airy, with plenty of space for our adult family of 5. Unfortunately the weather was unseasonally awful, with poor visibility due to cloud and rain, so the views were largely wasted over the 4 days. There was no internet, which added to our woes in the bad weather. (I'm sure our stay would have been more enjoyable in beach-friendly temperatures.) The birdlife was lovely, and we spotted koalas too.
