Our beautiful holiday getaways
Welcome to sea houses
Sea Houses offers holiday rental management services for select homes in the Otway Coast Region of the Great Ocean Road. This area includes the coastal hamlets of Wye River, Separation Creek, Kennett River, Johanna, and the larger town area of Apollo Bay, Marengo and Skenes Creek. Sea Houses is a new business, established in 2022 by Sharee Evans, a lifetime local of the Otways and Great Ocean Road.
The Headland Retreat - Wye River
Perched atop the Wye Point headland, abutting the Great Otway National Park is ‘The Headland Retreat’ with its uniquely raw coastal outlook, surrounded 270 degrees by the rugged beauty of the southern ocean. With its panoramic bird’s eye view of the vast expanse of sea, waves breaking along the shoreline below and the undulating hills of the Great Otway National Park stretching towards Kennett River, this property truly has one of the best unimpeded views along the Great Ocean Road with not a building in your view line. On a beautiful day, from the cosy comfort of the lounge, listen to the rhythmic unending crashing waves while watching the sunset over the expansive horizon. Alternatively, with a hot drink in front of the fireplace, marvel at the rainbow and enjoy the breath-taking atmosphere of rain clouds rolling in from the west during a storm. This is indeed a house for all weather, all seasons.
The Space
The space is lovingly curated with a distinctly Australian feel that will surely delight guests with an eye for art and design. Featuring a number of original artworks by contemporary indigenous and non -indigenous Australian artists, the space has a homely and contemporary feel with a nod to mid-century modern design. The open plan living, kitchen and dining areas all offer spectacular ocean and coastline views. Curl up on the couch looking out to the views, bask in the warmth of the centrally located wood fireplace with your favourite book or watch Netflix on the wall mounted smart TV.
Otway Valley Lodge - Johanna
An idyllic country house in the rolling green hills of Johanna, Otway Valley Lodge is an ideal large home for your next family holiday or friend group getaway. The extensive grounds include a wood fired hot tub, often koalas in the trees, expansive lawn areas, fire pit, and established trees and flower gardens.
With 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, it is a large house sleeping up to 12 people, with wide verandas leading onto the lush lawns and gardens surrounding the house.
Enter into the open plan living area featuring comfy lounges around a wood fireplace, and looking out onto the gardens and bushland beyond. The very well equipped kitchen features a Falcon 1100mm oven as the centerpiece, ready for cooking up a feast to share together around the recycled timber dining table. The kitchen also has a Breville coffee machine with inbuilt grinder, dishwasher, microwave, pantry with essential cooking items, and is fully equipped with saucepans, cooking items and utencils. Whitewashed timber cathedral ceilings, Vic Ash hardwood floors throughout, and floor to ceiling windows gives an open and airy feel to the entire space. There is also a reverse cycle heater/air conditioner, and plenty of board games to entertain.
The Wave House - Wye River
Please note there are currently renovation works happening at the house next door. Works will generally be undertaken in usual trade hours, during the weekdays. Any queries, please contact us.
The Wave House in Wye River is a great base for your coastal family holiday.
