Ironbark is a classic, low-key, single-level, Western Red Cedar beach house in a quiet street in Jan Juc Village, the more rural and treed area of Torquay.
The interior of Ironbark is light with large windows and garden views. The home is furnished and decorated in a comfortable and relaxed beach style. There is interesting and fun artwork on the walls. It has a rustic, yet at the same time, modern ambience and modern conveniences.
You will definitely feel you are out of the city and suburbs and the architecture and busy-ness of those environments and in the easy-going, relaxed atmosphere of the beach and countryside. See if you can spot the distant sea view on the horizon.
This is a family beach house and is set in a large (668m2) Australian native bush-style garden with many trees. The property is secure with a high front fence and gates that can be securely closed for child safety.
The home is much-loved and regularly used by the owner and is therefore well-maintained and kept clean and attractive and is very well-equipped.
The spacious open-plan living area has a wood fire for Winter, a reverse cycle air conditioner/heater and includes a T.V. seating area, a second seating area that has views of the garden, a study desk, a full kitchen with dishwasher and adjacent dining area with Grandma’s charming retro 1960s kitchen dresser and dining table for six. There is a separate laundry with tub and washing machine and a clothes line and clothes airers.
All the living areas receive the afternoon sunshine and there are outdoor blinds on north and west-facing windows for protection on hot Summer days.
The comfortable bedrooms - two with the morning sun, the third with views of the front garden - are carpeted, have quality beds, built-in wardrobes, chests of drawers, quality sheets, doonas (feather & down in Winter), pure wool blankets, pillows and also electric blankets for the cooler months.
The master bedroom has a King-sized bed and a semi-ensuite bathroom. Bedroom 2 has 2 Single beds and Bedroom 3 has a Queen-sized bed. The semi-ensuite bathroom has a full-sized bath, a separate shower, a new, modern vanity unit with basin and mirror and a toilet.

Welcome to our inviting & spacious, dog-friendly Jan Juc home. Lightning fast Internet/Wi-Fi will keep everyone connected whether for work or play. Relax and unwind in this recently renovated seaside retreat, complete with ocean views from the large elevated back deck.
In keeping with the quiet street in this seaside location, our place is perfect for family getaways (sleeping up to 14 with kids) or up to six couples sharing due to bedding configuration.
Please note: Strictly NO Party-Event policy
No Schoolies, Bucks, Hens, 18th’s, 21st’s or large events (eg Golf Trips or large same-sex group bookings)
The space
Our fully fenced beach pad is located on a quiet and safe street (no through road) in the beautiful sought after Jan Juc. It’s the perfect place to get away from it all and unwind, with the patrolled Jan Juc surf beach, cliff-top walking tracks and Jan Juc Village only a short walk or drive with free parking.
Lightning fast Telstra 5G Internet connection ensures the family can be connected to the net for both work and play.
And if it’s hustle and bustle you crave then Torquay’s restaurants, pubs/breweries, cafes, famous surf shops or big chain supermarkets are just a few minutes away - we feel it’s the best of both worlds.
If golf is your thing you have access to the nearby beautiful RACV Resort or Torquay Sands, with 13th Beach only 20mins away also.
The Great Ocean Road is 200m from the front door, your decision is how much or how little do you want to do today?
Guest access
Guests have complete access to the fully fenced property which is ideal for your pet.
The hot outdoor shower is perfect for rinsing off the sand and salt and to wash your “wetty”, before relaxing on the elevated deck with a cold drink.
You’ll never run out of gas with the large built-in BBQ, and on a cooler night the fire pit offers a great place to sit around and chill-out.
Other things to note
Our cleaning cost covers cleaning and all associated linen for your stay. Upon arrival be assured of a clean and beautifully presented home ready for your enjoyment.
- "Èverything about the property was perfect for our stay. There were 13 of us and we had plenty of room. The pool table was very popular with the younger ones. Couldn't have wished for a better place to stay for a large group." - "We had a family get away with 8 adults, 3 children under the age of 5 and a dog. There was plenty of room for all of us. The garage has been converted into a billard room and it got a lot of use. Downstairs there is a self contained unit which is lovely and a good place to go to if you need some me time. The house is only a very short drive to Torquay for retail therapy, the beach, food shopping and eatries. If you want to eat closer to the house there is the Jan Juc Village shops that has a coffee shop and a pub. It's a 2 minute drive or you could walk it and enjoy the fresh air, peaceful surrounds and look at some of lovely homes in the area. There is the peaceful JanJuc beach where my younger granddaughter had a great time. If you don't want to take the kids to beach there is a small park at the end of the street. As I headed towards the Jan Juc Village shops, I noticed there were a few little parks and a bigger park just before the Jan Juc caravan park. Definitely recommend this house for a large gathering. You'll find something to do even on a rainy day."

A truly relaxing home in a Blue ribbon location of Jan Juc, at the very gateway of the Great Ocean Road. Our oasis boasts an amazing ocean view, rural views to the north, a pool to laze by, a surf break across the road and a cliff top walking track that is a must, which leads you to Bells beach to the right and Torquay to the left.
Our home is unique, upstairs feels more like a Swiss Chalet than a typical beach home. Sit and admire the views front and back, walk across the road to a local surf break, or simply sit by the pool and relax. And if you have any energy left at the end of the day you can play with the kids in the front yard on the trampoline provided for your enjoyment. For family fun, you can go for a stroll along the walking track along the ocean or take a short stroll down the road to funky cafes and our local tavern for a snack or dinner. At night, you can cosy up on the couch in front of the gas log fire. Just enjoy the unique family fun our home can offer. We have just finished the mammoth task of renovating downstairs, next phase is to finish upstairs, but we need a rest before we tackle that, possibly a job to do once we move back to our lovely home.
