HARRY is a just newly renovated house that is a traditional beach house with a modern and updated interior. It was a "Paddy Harrington" house originally and still has its quirky style but now has all modern conveniences and clean fresh furniture.
Original artworks enhance the walls and fresh crisp commercial linen and towels are supplied for each stay from South Pacific Laundry
The best feature are the views from the main rooms and the two decks looking over the Separation creek beach. There are lots of parrots and galahs and kookaburras who come to visit and the whole area has a relaxed and quiet ambience. Behind the house is a leafy bush outlook set in a lovely garden . You can lie in bed in the main bedroom and see the waves.
There are great views from the elevated front deck but at the same time there is easy flat access from the other side with no flights of steps to climb. There is a second deck at the side of the house near the BBQ and this also has sweeping unrivalled views of the coast as well as a garden outlook in the reverse direction. There are full veggie and herb boxes growing next to the deck and guests are able to pick these to enhance their cooking.
The kitchen is well equipped and staples are provided for guests to use. There is a lovely warming log master type fire set in the living room that provides a cosy ambience on those cold winter evenings. Wood is provided too.
If you are lucky you might see harry (or harriet) the koala who has regularly been spotted in the garden or nearby trees
Harry is pet friendly for well behaved pets ( not on the bed please)
You can walk to the beach from the house ( about 300 metres) and also walk along Paddy's path to the Wye river store for scrumptious bread and home baked croissants
The Wye River and Separation creek township has the amenities of a great store and café and also the pub for meals on the deck there in summer or around the fire in winter. It is surrounded by forest rich in birds.
The Great Ocean Road is a perfect place to explore - see Koalas at Kennett River and glow worms at Grey river reserve. The 12 Apostles are 90 minutes away and Lorne and Apollo bay are 15-20 minutes away for a taste of the Big smoke
Unlike many houses in Wye River and Separation Creek there is plenty of flat parking on the level ground behind the house and there are no steps into the house - only the door lintel. This great when carrying in your things no great flights of stairs to lug in the shopping!
The whole house has been renovated with polished floors in main rooms and now has three bedrooms - one main with king bed, one room with 3 single bunks and a double bed bunk, and a third bedroom with a queen bed - this room has a lovely bush view. The house can sleep 9 if all beds ( 6 adult limit please) are in use. There are built in wardrobes in every room.
There are panel heaters in every room and also an air conditioner in the living room which can cool two of the bedrooms as well.
.
The living room has a sound system that takes cds plus ipod docking station for your music. Foxtel is there if you need it!.
There is a new kitchen with dishwasher, electric oven, microwave and induction cooktop, and a separate euro laundry with a spare fridge.
The windows are mostly double glazed for comfort too.
The bathroom has a large tiled shower, new vanity and a WC ( we have tank water like the whole area )
Enjoy a BBQ on either deck with a cool glass of wine after a day at the beach
Harry is perfect for a relaxed holiday - a family holiday, or a romantic getaway for two, or for two couples holidaying together. The room set up means that two couples with each 2 children can also be accommodated.
The pricing for HARRY is shown on each day you are looking at:
There is a linen/cleaning fee of $125 per stay additional
I keep the calendar up to date and the seasonal prices are also marked on the calendar that STAYZ produces
There is no step into the house so it is almost wheelchair accessible with some assistance ( just the lintel at the door).
If you have got any queries just email me through Stayz.
I have been staying at Wye River and Separation Creek in many different houses for 30 years and now I am happy to share my house with others. I know you will enjoy your stay here at HARRY!!
Here are some reviews from other websites - and check out my reviews here on Stayz/Homeaway as well.
" we relaxed here and enjoyed the whole Wye River/Separation Creek experience" - Don and family
"Lovely place very comfortable, clean and stylish " -Pammy
"The entire experience was magnificent. Denise was very helpful in every way including providing information about the house, responding to my messages promptly and also in answering my calls for any questions I had asked her regarding the stay. The house was very clean and neat with everything available in abundance. The highlight of the stay would have been the view from the living room of the sea and also to waking up to the sound of the ocean in the morning. The entire family enjoyed the holiday as the weather was also exceptionally good. We also had a marsupial visit on the day we were leaving, a local Koala was right on top of our house to bid us farewell. " Vinod
"We found the Harry House lovely, beautiful ocean views. Parrots on deck each afternoon Rosella, Cocky and King Parrots. Close to beach , but also a good feeling of isolation , away from the world." Amanda
