We had a wonderful stay at Ocean Beach Retreat. The place had everything we needed for our beach stay. The beds were super comfy, the outdoor area was fantastic and we had most meals outside. It also has a great yard which my dog enjoyed immensely. The location itself was fantastic, so close to the beach, lighthouse and shops. Stuart, the host was very friendly and helpful and his communication was very prompt. We are already discussing coming back again next year. Thank you very much for making our Point Lonsdale stay so relaxing and comfortable!

The perfect Point Lonsdale stay

We had the best time at this perfect beach house, the house was exactly as described and comfortable for our two families to stay. The back deck area was a favourite, it is a beautiful spot to relax with a book. The garden is great for the kids to play around in and lots of space for our furry friends as well. We couldn’t have had a better long weekend away. It is so close to the lighthouse and town which made it super relaxing and convenient. We would highly recommend staying here and we hope to come back soon.

Perfect Beach Getaway

Great no frills beach house in an unparalleled location. 5 minute walk to both the front beach/town or the back beach/lighthouse. Huge deck and fire pit area for relaxing after a day at the beach. The house itself is a bit battered from years of weather but inside is spotless, with an updated bathroom, WiFi and modern living. This is the second time we’ve stayed over the years and will definitely be back. Also dog friendly with a big enclosed backyard!

Great location and outside areas for our dog.

The house was great for us and our dog. There are two outside lawn areas. Close walking to shops and lighthouse. We only used one of the queen beds, which was really comfortable. The other looked just as comfortable. Cooking facilities and utensils were also good. There are two outdoor tables, one under cover and one without cover, handy if it is really hot. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.
