Portsea Shingle House
Welcome to our architecturally designed home, wrapped in Alaskan white cedar shingles and nestled between majestic Moonah trees. Their sculpted trunks and generous canopies provide a unique and tranquil setting, shading the home and garden while allowing dappled sunlight to create a natural tapestry of light and shadow.
Inside, the home spans three levels, featuring five beautifully appointed bedrooms—including a luxurious master suite with its own ensuite bathroom. In total, three modern bathrooms ensure a seamless living experience. You'll also find a spacious office area, perfect for quiet reflection or catching up on work, all set against a backdrop of curated modern artwork.
The home offers two separate living areas, each equipped with a TV, ensuring diverse options for relaxation. A large rumpus room comes complete with a table tennis table, providing a dedicated play area for kids and those young at heart.
Step outside to fully embrace the essence of indoor-outdoor living. Take your pick from one of three sizable decks for leisurely moments, or experience the bliss of our elevated, heated swimming pool, all set amidst the Moonah trees. An outdoor shower is available for a refreshing rinse, completing your pool or beach experience.
The meticulously landscaped garden beckons, featuring a welcoming firepit perfect for intimate evening gatherings. For those looking to explore, Shelley Beach and the charming local cafes of Portsea and Sorrento are just a short stroll away.
Located at the end of a peaceful dead-end street and enveloped by the calming aura of Moonah trees, this holiday home is a sanctuary of luxury and tranquillity. Come, stay, and immerse yourself in an environment where nature and architectural beauty work together.

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful house with our two children ages 5 and. The property was stunning, with all the amenities you could want. The garden is magical with a fire pit and beautiful pool. We would definitely recommend this property and stay again

Beautiful modern architecture walking distance from the beach
Nick and Linda are fantastic hosts and their beach house in Portsea is beautifully built, well appointed with everything you need and very conveniently located walking distance to multiple beaches and a stones throw to the Portsea Hotel.
The house is very large with multiple bedrooms, living spaces and entertaining areas and can easily accomodate a large group. The kitchen is very well setup for cooking. We stayed for a long weekend with another family and had a fantastic time, even having a couple of dips in the heated pool.
We loved Portsea Shingle House and look forward to staying again.
