Welcome to Banksia Bush Retreat, your peaceful hideaway where the bush meets the sea.
Located on the very edge of the Great Otway National Park, this property features uninterrupted views over the Anglesea Heath. Enjoy bird watching, strolling amongst wildflowers and the numerous walking and bike trails that begin straight from your back gate.

Brand-new appliances throughout—including a large smart TV with Wi-Fi—make it easy to relax after a day in nature and settle in for a cosy movie night.
The deck overlooks the surrounding bushland and includes a Weber BBQ for outdoor cooking. There’s also a fire-pit area to enjoy during the cooler months.

We had a wonderful stay at this Anglesea property. The house was very well maintained, thoughtfully set up, and immediately felt comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable, and everything was clean, organised, and easy to use.The location was excellent — very close to the beach and just a quick drive away, yet wonderfully quiet and peaceful. Parking was easy, check-in instructions were clear, and it was effortless to come and go throughout our stay.Overall, a great property that we would definitely stay at again and highly recommend to others visiting Anglesea.
