This is the perfect family home in central Ocean Grove ideal for the larger family or two families who want to holiday together.

There is loads of room to move and for everyone to have their own space and privacy. The house sleeps 9 guests in comfort.

Step through the front door to a private master bedroom retreat which has a queen bed, separate ensuite with shower, toilet and a walk in robe. There is also a small tv in this room.

Another few steps takes you to the second bedroom which has 2 single beds.

These two bedrooms have access to a living area which includes two couches and a flat screen tv.

The other two bedrooms are located at the rear of the house, the third bedroom has a Queen bed , while the fourth bedroom has a set of bunks and a single bed. All bedrooms have built in robes.

The rear bedrooms are serviced by a main bathroom which has separate shower and bath tub. The main toilet is also separate to the bathroom. There is a fully equipped laundry with washing machine, vacuum, iron and ironing board.

The rear of the home is very large and open plan. It includes a country style kitchen with all the mod cons including a dishwashing, microwave, gas hotplates, electric oven and all the crockery and cutlery you require for entertaining.

The rear living space is light and bright and has a very comfy L-shaped couch with large screen TV and DVD player.

The dining table is a large square timber table with seating for 8 plus additional chairs and breakfast bar stools are available.

The outdoor entertaining area is perfect for the Summer holidays but also features café style blinds so can be used all year round. There is an outdoor setting along with BBQ. The house also provides an outdoor shower to keep the sand out when you come home from the long day at the beach.

The property is child friendly with an outside area to keep the little ones entertained or a grassed area perfect for a game of back yard cricket.

Bring the whole family to this property and enjoy your weekend or week away.

Big house but a bit tired
Positives: The house is really spacious and has lots of useful stuff in it. Separate areas were really handy as we had teenagers through to seniors in our group of 9. We loved the back yard for the dog and being able to bring him with us. The outside shower was very useful, and the water pressure was terrific in the Master bedroom. We loved the big main bathroom, huge kitchen, big modular couch in the main living room, big dining room and dining table, and the outdoor dining/ BBQ. Spare fridge was handy, as was use of the garage. Location was not bad, with a park 2 mins walk away, shops a 2 min drive and beach a 5 mins drive. Communication with Bellarine Getaways was excellent - very responsive, friendly, and helpful. Negatives: We did not know there was no Wi-Fi until a few days before we were due to check in (this has since been updated on the listing). That made things quite difficult with 12 year olds, 20 year olds, and an adult planning to work from home. We probably wouldn't have booked if we had known, but we upgraded our data plans and hotspotted, which mostly worked out ok (apart from hotspot dropouts). The house had been surface cleaned, but really needs a thorough deep clean, dusting, yard clean up, and replacement of some broken/ old bits and pieces (TV remote, kettle, broken curtains, tap etc). The mattresses are all very old and need replacing, some of us got sore backs. The listing also said the master was a 'king' bed (it's a queen). Instructions would be helpful for appliances, and various things to do with the house. Things to do during your stay: Check out Ket bakery 5 mins drive away for fab coffee, pastries and baguettes. Van Loon's nursery, next to Ket, has a lovely cafe and shop as well. Highly recommend a trip to Port Arlington for fresh mussels and a terrific swimming beach for toddlers/ families. Ocean Gv beach is great fun for surf and there are fabulous amenities at the lifesaving club, including a cafe, great showers/ change rooms/ toilets & lots of parking. The dog beach at OG is also terrific. The estuary at Barwon Heads is nice for calm water swimming on a hot day and for stand up paddling. Burgers at Blackstone and fish n chips at Ocean View in Ocean Gv are both recommended. A stroll around the gorgeous lake at OG is a must. Stop by Kyo (if open) and Tetsu for interesting antiques shopping. A passionfruit sponge from the Freshwater Creek store is always delish.

Review on Hanks Place
Everything about renting this property was good, apart from the cleanliness. When we arrived we needed to clean toilets and wipe down bench tops as they were not up to standard. We found lolly wrappers under the bed. I felt it had not had a proper clean in some time. This property has a lot of potential if some care was taken to maintain. No WiFi was a big downside and the TV needs to upgraded to include HD. The house served the purpose for what we needed for the weekend but not sure we'd be staying again. Thanks.

Hanks place- fantastic
Fantastic property. Super clean. Great with the 2 living spaces - teens in one, adults in the other. Well equiped kitchen. Lots of little extras like matches, tissues etc which made life just that little bit easier. We would love to stay again.
