Sea Ranch - Couples retreat with ocean view bath or group getaway home
Sea Ranch has established itself as a highly sought after holiday home on the Great Ocean Road.
Heralding a new era of architectural design and building style in Wye River, Sea Ranch is a spacious four bedroom home offering breathtaking views of the ocean, beach and coastline. Walking into the stylish lightfilled open plan first floor, you feel like you have been transported to another place. You’re just 50 metres above the sea where the sights and sounds of the ocean dissolve away any worries or stresses. This beautifully appointed home invites you to sit, relax and and take it all in. Everything you need for seaside relaxation and adventure is at your fingertips.
Sea Ranch features a generous deck and floor to ceiling ocean-facing glass windows offering 180 degree beach views from Sturt Point to Kennett River and beyond. The clever layout ensures magnificent views wherever you are in the house; whether it be preparing meals in the state of the art kitchen, lazing in one of the two well appointed living areas, hanging out on one of the generous decks, lazing in any of the four bedrooms or even soaking in the ensuite bath. A gas log fire upstairs provides warmth and atmosphere without the hassle of an open fire. The downstairs living area also presents the opportunity for a separate area of retreat or cosy kids area. The main bedroom & ensuite are worthy of a five star retreat, with private unspoilt views to dream of. Leave the blinds open at night and feel like you're sleeping with the stars.
Despite having the amenities and privacy of an indulgent retreat, Sea Ranch is actually in close proximity to all that Wye River has to offer. The renowned Wye River Hotel, the Wye River General Store and Cafe and of course the beach are all within 600 metres of the front door. A few hundred metres further up the mountain is the gate to the scenic Great Otway National Park, and bushwalk through to Kennett River.
Sea Ranch itself offers a nature based experience as good as anywhere on the Great Ocean Road. It’s not uncommon to see seals playing in the waves just beyond the rocks, and whales migrate past Wye Point every winter, truly a sight to behold! All manner of Australian fauna have made themselves at home in the surrounding trees, including koalas, King Parrots, Rosellas, Cockatoos and Kookaburras. Echidnas also make an appearance regularly, meandering through the garden.
Wye River is the ultimate location to stay on the Great Ocean Road, with easy access for endless opportunities for experiencing all that The Great Ocean Road and the Otway Ranges has to offer.
There are two TVs, in both of the living areas with Apple TV, DVD players, and free Wifi network to access app streaming options for Netflix or free to air on demand channels. Or have a digital detox and watch the everchanging views. A Sonos speaker provides your favorite listening, or take it downstairs to the ensuite bath in the window as your soundtrack to the waves.
The well equipped kitchen has a statement island bench and is very well equipped, with electric oven and cooktop, dishwasher, coffee machine (coffee beans provided) and a Weber BBQ on the deck.
Bedrooms (all downstairs): Bedroom 1: 1 Queen Bed with ensuite bathroom Bedroom 2: 1 Queen Bed Bedroom 3: 1 Queen Bed Bedroom 4: 2 Single Beds Open Living area: Single bed with trundle bed underneath

Wye River heaven
Such a spectacular home in a breathtaking location!! We loved our stay! My daughter and my nephew competed in the Great Ocean Rd marathon and even though weather conditions were challenging, the beauty of the coastline was still amazing!
Gorgeous comfy beds, luxurious bathrooms and everything you could wish for in the kitchen! A wonderful stay!!

Slice of heaven
Photos do not do this property justice. Amazing views large decks. Suited the whole family including 89 year old mother and our diabetic dog. Amazed to see so much wildlife including kangaroos, cockies and kookaburras. Pub at the end of the street and a cafe and corner store. Heaps of room. The most enormous bath with water views. Great communication with management. Will definitely return.

The view is absolutely breathtaking from the moment you walk, when you wake up to the bathroom. Such a treat to stay here definitely a great location & house. We also organised Helen from dune balance to visit us for massages with the sea view. Definitely worth every penny! We will be back

Breathtaking views and outstanding property
Absolutely adored our stay. The views from the home are spectacular (we even spotted whales and dolphins), and we love that the home is dog-friendly. The bathtub with the ceiling-to-floor ocean-facing window was a slice of heaven. Stunning, spacious interiors, and waking up to ocean views from bed was the perfect way to start the day. Totally will be recommending to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Sea Ranch stay
Been staying there for many years since original owner builder began renting home.
Perfect retreat for the two of us and our dog.
Always like to leave property as we found it leaving no evidence of our stay.
