Slow Days on the Surf Coast
Adventure in Aireys Inlet, Great Ocean Road, VIC, AU
Surf Coast Shack is the beach house of dreams! Spacious, bright and filled with groovy decor, it has everything you could need for a laid-back coastal escape. The fully equipped kitchen (complete with coffee machine!), multiple bedrooms and big lounge filled with books and board games make it an easy place to settle into and feel right at home.
Outside, the huge backyard and sunny deck quickly became our favourite spots to hang out. We spent our afternoons relaxing with drinks in the sunshine before firing up the barbecue in the evening - the perfect way to end a day by the coast.
The location is also ideal for exploring the Great Ocean Road and Otways, with plenty of beautiful spots just a short drive away. During our stay, we wandered around the iconic Split Point Lighthouse and Eagle Rock Lookout, before grabbing delicious wood-fired pizza at the Captain of Aireys, which is located just down the road!
Whether you’re planning a weekend of exploring or simply want somewhere to slow down and enjoy the good things in life, Surf Coast Shack is the perfect coastal escape for families, groups of friends or anyone needing a little seaside reset.
