Your family will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally located home. Literally minutes from Elwood beach and foreshore and bustling Elwood village, every local destination is easily walkable. Two distinct living zones create an inviting setting for entertaining, opening to a delightfully secluded deck and garden. Four bright bedrooms, two elegant bathrooms and a comfortable work space provide further family flexibility. Simply relax in this unmatched beachside location.
We’ve lived in and renovated our Elwood Gem for 5 years. We have 4 small children who have all come along for the ride. We’ve now completed renovating our newest project; Elwood Star! Our aim is to provide beautiful, clean and luxurious accomodation for your family holiday. We hope that our home feels like your home! Please message me if you need anything. We live right around the corner so it’s too easy 🌸
Head down to Elwood, where quaint suburban pockets, heritage homes, vibrant cafes, and wine bars await. It’s just eight kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, yet Elwood feels like a town unto itself. Walk east along the canal from Ormond Esplanade on a late summer afternoon and you’ll notice it feels rather like an island: a small beach suburb in the south of Melbourne that is – by way of culture, community spirit, and public transport – a sea apart from the rest of city. Elwood has developed its own calm, sophisticated way of life. The people are kind and young, and always outdoors. When you’re out walking the wide avenues, marked with big old plane trees and historic Art Deco homes, you’ll catch smiles from mums with prams, and restaurant owners standing out in the street talking to patrons.
