About this property

Ipanema

  • Summary:

    Ipanema is a cozy 50s Aussie beach shack with ocean views, just minutes from the beach, café, and pub. Perfect for couples or small families, offering modern comforts with a nostalgic charm.



    The Space:

    Just steps away from the Great Ocean Road and the golden sands of Wye River Beach, Ipanema is the ultimate summer getaway. This charming 1950s Australian fibro beach shack combines nostalgic character with modern comfort, offering an idyllic coastal retreat.



    Located just one block from the beach, you’ll enjoy the perfect spot for sun-soaked days, refreshing ocean dips, and easy strolls to the Wye General Store, Café, and Wye Beach Hotel. Surrounded by native gum trees, the property boasts stunning ocean views and a serene atmosphere, often visited by local wildlife like kookaburras and cockatoos.



    Ipanema is pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry companions to enjoy the beach and tranquil setting with you. Inside, the shack features two cozy queen bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, a bathroom, and a light-filled living area. Step outside onto the expansive deck to soak in the sea breeze and breathtaking views—a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks.



    Amenities include pantry staples, a bookshelf, a record player, a portable speaker, and a TV with Chromecast and DVD player. A small additional bungalow on the property adds extra charm.
