Ocean Grange Homestead - The Ultimate Beach House

20 people
Pet-friendly
A truly unique property only accessible by boat, this is your chance to stay in the jewel of the Gippsland Lakes- the Ocean Grange homestead.

Nestled on a strip of land in between the 90 mile beach and the Gippsland Lakes and surrounded by National Park, Ocean Grange gives you the true 'off-the-grid' getaway with all the luxury you'd come to expect.

Configured into four distinct living spaces, The Grange House is linked by a central courtyard and immense sweeping verandas, which flow around the house and scattered with outdoor furniture surround the homestead and the filtered swimming pool. The iconic four story tower shoots out well above the tree line, giving you a 360 degree view of the entire Gippsland Lakes.

The lakes' gentle waters and undisturbed islands provide a haven for a magnificent array of marine and wildlife, where dolphins are often seen playing tag with the yachts and surrounding parkland is home to innumerable species of animals and birds.

There are excellent hiking trails throughout the park that provide unique glimpses of the wildlife in its natural habitat, and it is an angler's paradise. Superb surf or lake fishing are quite literally on your front and back doorsteps.

A commercial kitchen and walk-in cool room provides guests with the opportunity to entertain at the highest level, if this is your preference.

We have hosted weddings, birthdays, corporate events and many families and friends alike. Please make yourself at home in Australia's ultimate beach house!
