Approaching Marlin House, you immediately feel a relaxed welcome as you drive through the immaculate garden to the spacious, curved roof carport. Entry through the front door uncovers a bright and airy air-conditioned living area with sweeping cathedral ceilings, a cosy log fire and a complimentary bottle of wine, a fully equipped kitchen with full-size oven and fridge, as well as a microwave and dishwasher, and a timber floored dining area.
There are two spacious bedrooms, one queen and one 4-bunk, a bathroom with an oversized shower and bath, and the laundry adjoins this area. Walking up the stairs, you can catch a glimpse of the pristine surf beach and surrounding headlands. Finally you arrive at the spacious master loft style queen bedroom overlooking the living area, with oodles of storage and its own ensuite.
Downstairs, the double glass doors open out to the alfresco dining area and BBQ. The spacious and secure back yard is ideal for pets, with trained and well-behaved ones allowed inside, while outside the cubby house is always a hit with the kids. It's time to start your well earned break from the rigours of your hectic life, and the comfortable couch overlooking a wall of windows is the place to do just that, an atmosphere of peace and serenity surrounding you.
Once rejuvenated, the lists of activities seem endless, with pristine beaches and rivers nearby, or for the energetic there are free tennis courts, kids water parks and skate parks, fishing, surfing and swimming... to mention just a few.
The myriad wineries and restaurants are sure to satisfy your culinary senses, with some of Australia’s finest wines originating in the Ocean Grove region.
