HARRY - relaxing beachside stay with great view

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

Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

Hidden Haven at Separation Creek
We spent 4 nights at Harry and absolutely loved it! We were looking for a tranquil and quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle and we certainly found it with Harry. Separation Creek/Wye River is a hidden gem around 20mins from Lorne and 30mins from Apollo Bay. Harry was just divine. Amazing views, 5 mins walk to the beach and amongst gorgeous bushland and wildlife. The property itself was beautiful. It had so much character but was also modern and immaculately kept. The fireplace was so cozy and warm (wood included). Denise our host had everything you could ever need included at the property such as bedlinen, towels, soap etc. and a kitchen full of every utensil you would need to cook your meals. I could go on and on about this property. We can't wait to return to enjoy a wine on the balcony taking in the spectacular view and throwing a log on the fire after the sun sets. Thank you, Denise, for allowing us to stay at your stunning property "HARRY"

Weekend getaway with our furry kids
Great house, well equipped for a few days or a week, warm, clean, very comfy bed, you can see and hear the waves crashing from bed, deck, & lounge. Easy walk to the beach or Wye River. Our dogs loved watching the king parrots & cockies land on the deck. We’ll definitely be back.

Great beach house with an amazing view of the ocean. Well equiped kitchen and bathroom. Morning coffees a treat on the deck looking out at the sunrise where the hills meet the water. Restful sleep helped along by very comfy king size bed listening to the waves crash. Warm inviting spot - we’ll be back!

Very relaxing.
We had a lovely stay and the weather was unseasonal meaning there was no rain and sunshine. The accommodation was great with everything we needed being catered for. There are so many great points that I cannot list here and do justice. Only downside was a need for a quick cleaning of some walls where there are specks etc and the mat needs a good beating and hose down. Really enjoyed the area and can recommend the residence. Thank you.

Beautiful location
Stunning location right on the beach. Property needs updating eg door into bedroom from sitting room doesnt close properly so privacy can be an issue , fly screen stuck so not effective. No phone reception or wifi available so no way to communicate with anyone which was an issue for us as we did need to contact each other a few times (we were a group). Issues with water being turned off at the mains and due to the fact of no phone reception we only managed to find out from the owner the day before we left how to turn it back on. This meant having to have cold showers which didn't go down well with the kids. Overall the properly is lovely and in a beautiful location, for the price I feel it needs a bit more updating before I would return.

Christmas beach stay
We spent Christmas in this lovely little cottage. It was very cosy, beds lovely and comfortable and the kitchen was well-equiped with everything necessary to cook up a gourmet Christmas lunch. Only a short walk to the beautiful beach. My only request would be to fence off the lovely back garden-(and install a dog door) as it ended up being our favourite spot. Unfortunately we had to tie up our little dog up every time we wanted to go and spend time out there. A lovely, quiet get-away. Thank you Denise!

Great views on this small home
A small home yet great views! Unfortunately, I don’t think that there had been people staying in the house for a while as we had dust, cobwebs and a very unpleasant odour on arrival. We also had to remove a large vase with old flour from the front bedroom as it was full of mould. Just an oversight I’d guess?! Once we did our own clean and aired the house out it was a pleasant stay. Bed very comfortable. Cleanliness was definitely an issue!

Cosy and comfortable
We had a lovely few days here, the fire was a great asset. Our only reservation was the access, it was very hard with a wheelchair despite being described as suitable. We went with grandchildren too but the bunks were not considered suitable for under 6, we had a 3 year old with us so the mattress went on the floor. Despite all that we had a good time and had plenty of visits from the bird life.
