Additional Information
Located a stones throw away from the river, beach and the town centre. Surfing, fishing, golf, yoga, shopping, restaurants and cafe’s all within walking distance.
The shacks humble mid century design of open plan living and floor to ceiling windows along the entire frontage of the house welcomes in beautiful natural light making the house feel open, bright and inviting.
Our relaxed space has been lovingly renovated and restored back to its former glory with fresh white wash floor boards and a carefully curated mix of old and new furniture and décor throughout.
It’s ideal for a romantic getaway, a girls weekend away or a small family beachside mini break. Due to the delicate nature of some of the styling pieces this stay may not be suitable for toddler aged children.
Our shack features two spacious bedrooms accommodating a total of 4 guests. The first bedroom with a king size bed and the second bedroom with a queen, both beds fitted out with luxurious French linen and quality bedding. There is also twin chairs located in the second bedroom for a quiet spot to sit and read a book or to unwind away from the main living area.
The kitchen is small but has everything you will need to make your stay comfortable with all new appliances.
A natural born bower bird at heart, I have curated the shack with found and foraged objects such as shells, feathers and other natural treasures, to sit along side beautiful and carefully selected vintage furniture, art and books.
If you are after coastal luxury with a touch of nostalgia in a beautifully renovated original beach shack in the heart of Ocean Grove, the Miles away Shack is the place for you.
Guest access
Guests have full access to the entire property.
We have two large decks to enjoy, one at the front of the house so you can enjoy the morning sun and sit back and watch the world go by, or a more private deck out the back in the enclosed yard for more private enjoyment.
Other things to note:
⚫️ Miles Away Shack is located on Wallington Road, you are right amongst it with Ocean Groves main beach just minutes away. We are also located a couple of doors up from a very popular cafe. With this in mind some road noise should be expected throughout the day, however of a late afternoon and evening things quiet down and the area is very peaceful and quiet.
⚫️ Strictly no parties or group gatherings, we also request that noise be restricted by 10pm. Noise in the area can travel and we like and respect our neighbours and do not wish to disturb their peace.
⚫️ We supply luxurious towels and bedding for our guest to use within the house during their stay, however these items are NOT to leave the house. Please BYO your own beach towels.
⚫️ There is parking on the premises with a carport, however there is also plenty of free on street parking.

This is a cosy, dreamy & nostalgic getaway. We enjoyed all the thought that went into setting up the shack, and all the local foodie tasters were also appreciated! I kicked off the day on both morni...ngs with yoga on the back deck.
Whilst it is located on a somewhat busy road, you can walk around the corner on Dare St and in 2 minutes you are by Barwon River to enjoy a marvellous sunset or start off on a walk to the beach or Barwon Heads. Garage cafe on the next block is wonderful and you're only a 10 minute walk to the Dunes cafe which does a delicious dinner too. We spent our full day in Ocean Grove walking along the beach between cafe stops!

Hi my name is Sarah,
Having lived in Ocean Grove for most of my life I have watched it grow and evolve over this time. We often wonder what Ocean Grove was like back in the day when it was a sleepy little beach town long before our time, when life was a lot simpler, a lot slower paced and with less town houses. We had a dream to purchase one of the towns last original little beach shacks, a piece of Ocean Grove history.
And so here we are, Welcome to Miles Away, our little 50’s beach shack that my husband Tom and I have lovingly restored, renovated and brought back to life. My background as a designer/stylist and my hubby a drilling engineer, our little shack has been a beautiful project that we have become very proud of.

After a sunrise surf, a good refuel was on the cards. And what better place to do that than at an old servo that has been converted into a cafe! A ripa of a feed!

We surfed at sunrise, and then again at midday, lapping up all the saltwater goodness for hours.
