About this house rental

Dolphin Cottage is a beach house, nestled in a treed garden overlooking picturesque farmland and the ocean. This house ideal for small groups to share yet it presents a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere that would suit any couple. The large secluded deck is accessed from the upstairs living area and is perfect for barbeques and relaxing with friends and gives views of the ocean.

Small dogs welcome, please confirm with owner. And not when house is at full capacity.

There is an upstairs living area with two bedrooms off it. Bedroom 1 has a queen size bed and view of the ocean. Bedroom 2 has two single beds and overlooks farm land. The upstairs bathroom and toilet has a shower with a deep base which is suitable for bathing toddlers.

Downstairs has and alternative living area with access to the remaining two bedrooms and a lock up storage area for bicycles or surfboards. Bedroom three has a queen size bed and bedroom four is furnished with a set of bunk beds and a single bed.. Both bedrooms overlook the landscaped rear garden and have individual access to it. There is a downstairs toilet and shower located in the laundry area where the washing machine is also housed.

For the young ones, there is a foos ball table, kids toys, books and games. You are very welcome to bring playstation/xbox to plug into 50 inch smart tv’s.

The dual living areas make Dolphin Cottage ideal for families or small groups or couples.

Linen is NOT supplied so you need to provide your own top and bottom sheets, pillowcases and towels. We provide covered doonas, tea towels and bathmats. (Linen available - $25 per Queen Bed and $15 per Single bed per stay)

Dolphin Cottage is a very relaxing and private holiday retreat which is close to the beach (4 min walk), a surf shop with equipment hire and lessons available and a very handy cafe/gourmet food store just 200 meters away.

The views of the sea and the dam add to the atmosphere. Bring your binoculars for the birds on the dam and ships at sea in Bass Strait.

During off peak you will find the beach will be quieter but always expect a few surfers in the water if the waves are up. At low tide you can explore the rugged coastline all the way to Cape Woolamai.

Cowes and the island towns have lots of activity all year round.

Dolphin Cottage has two 50 inch smart tv’s one upstairs, one down. Plenty of board games and books as well as a foos ball table.
Split system heating and cooling, microwave, dishwasher, deck with BBQ and outdoor setting. Relax sitting on the deck amongst the tree tops listening to the waves and twittering of the birds.


Minimum of 2 nights.

My family and I came for a long weekend and wish we'd had more time. The place is lovely, quiet and close to the beach with nice views from the most windows. We'd visit again!

This lovely home is set up with everything you need for a relaxing beach trip. We felt at home straight away. A short walk to both the beach and the local shop. Lovely outlook over rural land out the back and glimpses of water views from the large front deck. Big outdoor table and chairs in the garden and a cute fire pit area. They have thought of everything.

The house was nice and comfortable, with good heaters for cold mornings. The location is lovely, next to a farm, and a short walk to the beach, and very quiet.
