Lovely house, great location that had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Communication was clear with Megan and Cassey, and they were great to deal with. We are coming back in summer!!

The owners seem to think of everything from chargers, 3 TVs, foam surfboards to oil for cooking.A very easy kitchen to cook in. The location is perfect - close to river and beach, across the road from the IGA and the pub.

Fantastic location. Great dual living areas so kids and adults could have their own private space. Great kitchen with everything you need to prepare a meal. Plenty of soft towels and very clean.

Grandview Beach House
Hi, I’m Megan, your host at Grandview Beach House! Get ready for a relaxing, unforgettable coastal escape in the heart of Barwon Heads. As a local, I can guide you to the best hidden gems—beaches, cafes, and local shops—all just a short stroll away. From sunrise on the river to sunset drinks on the deck, Grandview Beach House has everything you need for the perfect getaway. Reach out anytime if you have questions; I’m here to make your stay seamless and memorable. Your 5-star coastal adventure awaits! Grandview Beach House has been a beloved retreat for our family and friends for years. Originally a modest beach shack, it’s grown into the spacious, welcoming home it is today through countless weekends of DIY projects and careful design choices. We’ve hosted summer barbecues on the deck, shared cozy winters by the Smart TVs, and enjoyed countless early mornings with coffee overlooking the lush greenery. One of our favourite memories is a family reunion where we filled every room, laughing and catching up, with kids playing board games in one lounge while the adults enjoyed wine and good conversation in the other. The house truly comes to life when it’s full of people enjoying its spaces, indoors and out. We’re so excited to share this place with you, hoping it becomes part of your own cherished memories too. Whether you're here for the beach, the river, or simply a cozy spot to unwind, we think Grandview Beach House will feel like your own coastal haven.
