Company information

OCEAN BLUE Coastal Retreats makes holiday rentals easy for guests. Every property in our portfolio has been hand picked so you can book with confidence. If you have questions prior to your trip, we are happy to assist you 7 days a week. During your stay, our team are available 24/7 to help with any issues that may arise. Sian and Peter West are Principals of Ocean Blue Coastal Retreats and discovered the Mornington Peninsula in 2004 when purchasing a holiday home as an investment. In 2006, Blue Moon Cottages was purchased and a group of four cottages formed the core of the business. Since then, more accommodation was added and we now have a portfolio of more than 40 properties in both Metung and the Mornington Peninsula. Their knowledge comes from living on the peninsula since 2008, holidaying in Metung for many years and working closely with Tourism Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Tourism. Sian and Peter have built an award-winning tourism business and are both “hands on” in the business, ensuring both guests and owners are provided with attention to detail at every level.

Property information

Located in one of the prettiest villages in Australia, The Oar House is nestled into a bush block in a quiet street on the outskirts of Metung. Positioned on a small spit of land, Metung sits between Bancroft Bay, with Lake King at its back. It is a photographers paradise, a natural environmental home to amazing birdlife, dolphins and fish and a wide variety of native animals. The Gippsland Lakes also offer sailing, boating and fishing in sheltered inland waterways free from rocks, reefs and tides. Even if you don't sail or have a boat licence you can hire a boat locally and explore these safe waters. Just contact our friends at Riviera Nautic to help you out with all things boats and fishing. Just a short drive or 45 min walk outside the main village, The Oar House is a unique property which has recently been renovated and brought back to life after many years of neglect. The three storey weatherboard cottage is painted a striking Ironstone Blue with a white trim, reminiscent of the houses in the Hamptons. Beautifully decorated with hints of its location and as its name suggests there are oars aplenty, nautical references and artworks. Included in your package is a bottle of sparkling wine from the beautiful Mornington Peninsula Region, where we have a host of other holiday homes.

Neighbourhood information

The property is a few minutes drive or a 45 minute walk to Metung where you will find a tiny village with excellent local pub (it is advisable to book), a general store, a few cafes and fish and chip shop. Lakes Entrance is only 15 minutes away by car where you will find all the fishing trawlers and it is here that you can buy fish direct off the boat, walk 90 mile beach or get a great view of the Gippsland Lake system. We also love Lake Tyers a few minutes drive further along where there is a great pub on the water and kayaks for hire. Alternatively, go inland to Bruthen where you will find a pretty country village and great brewery. Further again explore the Buchan Caves, a honeycomb of caves full of spectacular limestone formations. There is also an excellent Rail Trail between Bairnsdale and Newmeralla. Then the obvious choice is hire a boat and sail the lakes or fish off one of the jetties or boardwalks or simply do nothing and enjoy the serenity.
