BEACH-STYLE AMBIENCE & RUSTIC CHARM
About this house rental
Ironbark is a classic, low-key, single-level, Western Red Cedar beach house in a quiet street in Jan Juc Village, the more rural and treed area of Torquay. The interior of Ironbark is light with large windows and garden views. The home is furnished and decorated in a comfortable and relaxed beach style. There is interesting and fun artwork on the walls. It has a rustic, yet at the same time, modern ambience and modern conveniences. You will definitely feel you are out of the city and suburbs and the architecture and busy-ness of those environments and in the easy-going, relaxed atmosphere of the beach and countryside. See if you can spot the distant sea view on the horizon. This is a family beach house and is set in a large (668m2) Australian native bush-style garden with many trees. The property is secure with a high front fence and gates that can be securely closed for child safety. The home is much-loved and regularly used by the owner and is therefore well-maintained and kept clean and attractive and is very well-equipped. The spacious open-plan living area has a wood fire for Winter, a reverse cycle air conditioner/heater and includes a T.V. seating area, a second seating area that has views of the garden, a study desk, a full kitchen with dishwasher and adjacent dining area with Grandma’s charming retro 1960s kitchen dresser and dining table for six. There is a separate laundry with tub and washing machine and a clothes line and airers. All the living areas receive the afternoon sunshine and there are outdoor blinds on north and west-facing windows for protection on hot Summer days. The comfortable bedrooms - two with the morning sun, the third with views of the front garden - are carpeted, have quality beds, built-in wardrobes, chests of drawers, quality sheets, doonas (feather & down in Winter), pure wool blankets, pillows and also electric blankets for the cooler months. The master bedroom has a King-sized bed and a semi-ensuite bathroom. Bedroom 2 has 2 Single beds and Bedroom 3 has a Queen-sized bed. The semi-ensuite bathroom has a full-sized bath, a separate shower, a new, modern vanity unit with basin and mirror and a toilet. There is also a separate second toilet and modern vanity unit with basin and mirror. For your outdoor relaxation amongst the trees there is a family-sized table with 6 chairs, an outdoor umbrella, a lounge chair, 2 bench seats with coffee table. There is a smaller table with chairs on the west-facing verandah for enjoying drinks at sunset. Enjoy a meal or a drink outside while listening to the native birds and feel free to use some of the herbs in the herb garden! All who stay at Ironbark enjoy the large garden, the spacious open-plan living areas and the understated charm and relaxing beach-style ambience!

Glenda’s home was very well presented, clean and fully stocked with everything we needed during our stay. It was in a good location with beaches and shops a short drive away. Glenda was also very easy to communicate with and responded very quickly.

Superb leafy property. Everything you could want for a 9 day holiday. Room for all the family. Lovely outdoor area to relax and enjoy nature. Open plan indoor area with 3 spacious bedrooms. Everything you need was provided in the house. Easy walk to playgrounds for the younger kids. 5 minute drive to all the amenities of Torquay for the teens. Check in was a breeze.

Wonderful property
Immaculately presented beach house. So many thoughtful touches by the owner that set it apart from other properties we have hired- late check out, wine and chocolates, pantry staples, linen and beach towels. Makes for a stress free holiday. The backyard is very serene and our girls loved the different birds and native plants. 3 min drive into Torquay. Would highly recommend. Would be a lovely winter escape also as the home is very cosy and has a fire and electric blankets.

Glenda is a great host. Complimentary wine and chocolates on arrival, flexible check-in and check-out time and very easy communication with her through text messages. We had a great time at her place. The house is tidy, clean and equiped with everything you need and more. Comfy beds, pillows, doonas, and couch. It is the sum of so many details that makes this house unique. Great quiet location to explore Jan Juc and Torquey. Overall a wonderful place.

Well presented and meticulously cleaned home with a cool retro vibe and lovely outdoor area. We really appreciated the supplies provided in the fridge, and our two-year-old loved playing with the toys. We would definitely stay here again if we weren't already moving to the area, but we will be recommending this place to friends and family!

Wonderful, cosy & relaxing
Our family - myself, my partner & our two kids aged 4 & 1 years, all enjoyed such a lovely holiday at this property.
The home itself is very clean, comfortable & well equipped, & it has a lovely cosy feel to it. All the little extras like movies, books, games & toys etc for the kids were much appreciated, & gave a homely feel.
The native garden provided a private little sanctuary to enjoy our meals on the deck areas, with regular visits from cockatoos, magpies & rosellas.
The neighbourhood was nice & quiet, with the back beach, reserves & playground areas for the kids within easy walking distance.
Glenda was a fabulous host & our communications were pleasant, prompt & easy.
I have no hesitations whatsoever in recommending this property. We absolutely loved our stay, & I'm sure it won't disappoint!

Cozy beach side home a hidden gem
This place is absolutely fantastic!!! The pics don’t give you an idea of how lovely and homely it is. It has everything you possibly need, Baking, cooking, heating, fire, north light deck and a glorious native garden. It’s a home away from home, walking distance to the beach and bird rock cafe, a short bike ride to Torquay shops. We absolutely enjoyed our family stay here and would recommend this is anyone who asks where do you stay in JanJac .
