Eignin
This unrivalled oceanside experience must be seen to be believed.
Inspired by sails, ‘Saltwater’ is all about the experience, with facilities and amenities that complement the natural setting. Picture yourself waking in an iconic property to the sound of crashing waves, watching surfers below at ‘Steps’ surf break.
The expanse of land in front of you, virtually tumbling down to the sea, makes you take a deep breath and stop to admire this spectacular coastline. Your field of view is so stretched that it’s impossible to see everything at once; from the silhouettes of landforms on the distant East Coast, to the far-reaching horizon and infinite sky. The vast ocean vista invokes rejuvenation for the body, mind and soul.
The main house accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 bedrooms, with 2.5 bathrooms and 2 living zones, this is the ideal setting for a memorable family holiday, group of friends or executive travellers. There is an additional Double bed (for guests 9 and 10) in a detached 'Base Cabin', that also has a bar fridge, sink and bench seating overlooking the pool - but there are no privacy blinds.
Entertainers will appreciate the well-stocked chef’s kitchen, with high quality amenities. The double St George wall oven, cooktop and double fridge, combined with world-class views, make meal preparation a delight. A distinctive granite island bench will be the site for sharing food and conversation, overlooking the 8-seater dining table. The mood of the house is constantly changing, as the elements set the tone of light and colour through high windows onto limestone block walls.
There is space for everyone, both for lively communal gatherings and quiet retreat. The main living room has deep, comfortable leather lounge suites that invite you to curl up and relax with a great book, be mesmerized by the sea, or light the open fire and watch the ships go by...
Upstairs, the second living zone provides a tranquil retreat and observation tower, with even more expansive ocean and coastline views. Your line of sight extends all the way to Port Phillip Heads and Cape Schanck in the east, and across the Jan Juc hamlet and bushland to the northwest. Set up with bean bags and a Smart TV with Netflix, this is a perfect teenage refuge.
Imagine cooking a BBQ on the terrace, or cooking on the fire table, reflecting on long days spent at the beach or exploring the region... Recline on sun lounges or chase the sun by the pool and spa (spa set to heat at particular time per day). The property has amazing native landscaped gardens and is fully fenced; kids and pets will love playing on the sweeping lawns (well-behaved pets only: subject to approval at time of booking, adherence to specific dog yard area, and extra pet $50 fee). The back gate joins the Surf Coast Walk. A brand new mini golf course (play 9 holes, return for 18) is a huge highlight, plus an in-ground trampoline - guaranteed to keep everyone happy!
All four bedrooms embrace the easterly views, with floor to ceiling glazing framing unhindered ocean views. A King size bed in the Master is the ultimate place to wake up to sunrise over Bass Strait, or fall asleep star gazing. This room has a walk-in robe and a large ensuite with frameless shower, toilet and bidet.
All rooms have an abundance of natural light, and are beautifully appointed with luxury hotel quality sheets and bath towels, making your stay as pleasurable as possible. Please note: Double layer sheer blinds in all bedrooms offer privacy, but not 100% light block out.
