About the House

Front view (beach to left)

The house is located on the western side of Port Fairy. In an area that is a little away from the main holiday crowds concentrated on the four caravan parks. This section is a mixture of permanent abodes and holiday houses.

Take a quick look at google earth for 13 Powling Street and you can appreciate why web consider it a great location. Close to a safe family friendly beach about 300m walk and still close enough to town to warrant a sub 10 minute walk to the shops or a very pleasant ride.

We only intend to furnish lightly because it is to be a holiday house. A place for relaxation, so equipment will modest and on the simple side.

The picture above is hard to see, but provides a little idea of layout. Front of house is to the left.
Front deck to the beach.
You can see waves behind last telegraph pole.

Front faces east on a modest block. The beach is to the south (left of the front-on photograph at the top of this post). It can be seen from the kitchen and front deck and will never be lost as we look down the street and building restrictions prevent building too close to the road.
View from rear towards front (east)

The blocks slopes up front to back. The house is a 50's wood house relocated or raised into current position allowing a double garage below.
Looking up to main entrance on NE corner

House level begins with a front deck/balcony wrapping around to the entrance. Entry is on the northern side into living/dining/kitchen open plan area.

A passage running centrally e-w has a 'rear-entry' storage area first on the left open to the laundry that features a second toilet and shower. Next on the left is the bathroom, decidely dated, but functional. At the rear of the house are the three bedrooms.
