First Rate Margate, Barwon Heads

Summary:
Constructed by one of the top local builders, this is holiday accommodation at its very best. Location is everything. This lovely holiday home is close to the Barwon River beach, shops and all Barwon Heads' amenities.

Superbly appointed in every detail, each room is full of light and style – with polished-concrete floors, sparkling white walls and benches, and a brilliant north-facing timber deck for relaxing on, dining on, or entertaining on.

Here you can really enjoy your getaway from the normal stresses of life and just “chill”.

Wedding weekend

Our family stayed here over the weekend of our daughters wedding at ‘At the Heads’. We had both families for a pre wedding drink on the Friday evening & the bride & bridesmaids wedding preparation on Saturday. The house was brilliant. Clean & incredibly comfortable. The indoor & outdoor spaces were perfect for our needs. Location was great and anything needed was easily accessible & very convenient to the wedding venue. A perfect house for a perfect wedding weekend. Many thanks.

Beautiful Barwon Heads Vic

Great property in a fantastic location. Some issues with the property manager not being across some aspects of the house: additional linen costs not disclosed on Stayz and was only made aware once the booking was confirmed, could not access the advertised lock up garage, needed to replace the batteries in all the remote controls and what we could only assume were the owners cloths left in the walk in robe. But this did not detract from an overall very enjoyable experience.

Unassuming property with plenty to delight

You could easily drive by this house and not realize it was there but it was big, light and bright. Unfortunately COVID-19 cut our stay short but it was a lovely (albeit short) break from the norm. Located in a fantastic spot, easy stroll to the river and the Main Street, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
