Tawarri House

Note - We are unable to offer linen or towels at present, so respectfully ask that you bring your own. Details below.

This architecturally designed and environmentally conscious stone house is situated on an acre of quiet and secluded natural bushland. Tawarri's unique position fronting the beautiful Glenelg River (just 150m away), a stone's throw from the Lower Glenelg National Park and only 4km from the unbroken beaches of Discovery Bay, makes it an ideal setting for swimming, walking, bird watching, fishing, surfing or simply retreating from a busy life.

Outside is a private courtyard with seating where guests can enjoy complete privacy looking out to the natural bushland and native wildlife. Most mornings you can wake early to watch the kangaroos and wallabies grazing on the lawn just meters away through the large picture frame windows. Echidnas often stroll through the property during the day, whilst at night the trees come to life with koalas, sugar gliders and possums, to name a few for the nocturnal visitors.

The house is built from the beautiful local limestone that is the signature of the area, with a beautiful slate floor, exposed Oregon beams and recycled timber lining boards. The warm colours and tasteful decor gives this house a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere that is a perfect setting for a fantastic holiday.

The beautiful garden is a mix of lawn areas and native trees and shrubs with a healthy dose of fruit trees and veggie patches. Established trees create shady glens, whilst tighter clusters of shrubs make for some more intimate areas and places of quiet contemplation.

The property is just over an acre in size, and as well as the house itself, includes the Studio apartment (also known as the Cottage), the gorgeous meditation house, and a 3.5m diameter round building towards the river.

All in all, Tawarri is a hidden gem of a place that has so much to offer to a broad range of people.

We provide a doona cover and a bath mat but ask that you bring top sheets (or your own doona cover), bottom sheets, towels, and tea towels. There is a queen-sized bed in the main bedroom, single bunks in the second bedroom, and a double pull-out sofa bed in the living room.
