15 Of The Best Beach House Stays In Victoria For 2025

Prepare to get sandy because you’re a literal 60 paces from the beach at this Victorian Airbnb that’s perched just above the iconic Great Ocean Road. Settle in on the expansive deck and be greeted by 180-degree water views while sipping on that glass of chardonnay you’ve been dreaming off all week.

There’s heaps of fun stuff to explore around here: we’re talking rock pools, bush trails and waterfalls, and you’re an easy 15-minute wander along “Paddy’s path” from the Wye General Store and Wye Beach Hotel, where you can enjoy food and drinks from small-scale and independent producers.

Oh hello super cute beach house! Designed by Imogen Pullar Architecture, this creative dog-friendly place overlooking Victoria’s South Gippsland coastline was created as a luxurious minimal space. It’s not quite a tiny home, but it’s not a full-on house either—Jacky Winter Waters is instead a pad where unnecessary elements of a typical house (think entry foyers, hallways, rooms for beds) are stripped away. 

It's quite wonderful inside, with tall, raked ceilings, quirky styling and interior walls made of white-washed radiata pine ply. But step outside and you’ll discover where the magic happens. You’ve got shared beach access and a large deck and outdoor kitchen with epic views to Waratah Bay and Wilson Promontory. An added bonus? There’s a pretty 5m bell tent in the garden, complete with double bed, that accommodates two extra adults so you can bring your mates along on your beach getaway.

If a Phillip Island beach break floats your boat, SaltHouse is a modern spot worth a squiz. Your Victorian Airbnb is set among the sand dunes and banksias of Surf Beach and so you’re actual footsteps from the sand (and you can bring the doggo too because this pad is pet-friendly for a small additional fee)

The house is designed into two pods connected by an enclosed hallway which is pretty cool. The first houses the open plan kitchen and living space and the second has two bedrooms and a separate bathroom with a sunken spa bath. Bliss.

Spoiler alert. This adorable Airbnb is not quite on the beach. But it’s close, very close, and it’s literally surrounded by water so just trust us and keep reading. Idle is the most adorable Californian-inspired houseboat resting on the waterfront at Lakes Entrance, Victoria.

Really, really want a beach? You’re just a stroll to the footbridge that leads right to the oceanfront beach at Lakes Entrance. Back at base, though, you can enjoy the water without getting those feet sandy at all. Pad through your sliding glass doors and you’ll find yourself on your private deck with outdoor seating and a ladder that leads right into the wet stuff. Oh, and the owners of this place even welcome your dog for a fee. Just ask.
