Whisperingsand-The Beach House

WhisperingSand Beach House is located in the seaside village of Kilcunda, just ~10km from Phillip Island/San Remo, ~14km from Wonthaggi on the stunning Bass Coast, and only 1.5 hours from Melbourne's CBD. It is the hidden gem of the Bass Coast and a great holiday base for the region. There are many activities you can do around the area, surfing, fishing, paragliding, coastal walking, riding/cycling etc just name a few. Of cause, beautiful beaches, BBQ, picnics and children's play ground, rock pools, good food/drinks are also among the list of things you can do. Say the least, have a drink/coffee at the Kilcunda pub, watch the wave pounding the rocks and enjoy sunset on the balcony of the WhisperingSand Beach House.

The WhsiperingSand Beach house is only a short walk away from the beaches, ~100m to coastal walking/cycling tracks and Pub, located in a quite street behind the Kilcunda Pub (Ocean View Hotel) which is famous for not only a fabulous view of the coastline from the front deck, but also great food and hospitality.

Standing on the balcony of the WhisperingSand beach house, the spectacular ocean view of Shelly beach just right in front of you, looking the waves rolling to the beach and listening the sound of waves pounding the rocks. During the summer months, you can also see the amazing sunsets over the ocean even sitting in the living room.

The Shelly beach, which have nice rock pool for kids to play, is right in front of the beach house, with only <100m walking distance. The Kilcunda surfing beach is also within walking distance.

The re-developed George Coastal walking track is right on top of the ocean cliff with spectacular view the Bass coast including Philip island and Cape Paterson.

The old Bass Coast Rail Trail (from Anderson to Wonthaggi, ~16km) has also been re-developed into a nice cycling/walking track passing many historical mining sites with fantastic scenery.

Short drive to San Remo (~8-10min), you can enjoy the Sunday market there, or to Philip islands where lots of fun and activities for family and kids.

Also a short drive (10-12min) to the mining town center of Wonthaggi, where large department stores and services are available.

It's all about the ocean view!
It was fine for our budget. Beds were comfortable. Location was great & the view was great. Everything is very worn & dated though. It could do with a smart tv or dvd's to use in the dvd player. We also found the cleaning instructions a bit excessive, especially there was a Xmas tree in a garbage bag in the room. downstairs! Thank you for the early check in & late check out.

Enjoyable Christmas holiday experience with family, location 45 min from home our first Xmas away.
The property was large enough for my family, 5 teenage grandchildren my partner and our son. Kitchen I found was a little small but had enough of the kitchenware we needed, a little disappointed there was no barbecue, but would of been another thing to clean anyway. Property was close enough to the beach good exercise for the kids to walk to, good walking tracks nearby and a general store just on the main road. Wonthaggi is the closest town about a 10 minute drive if you wanted to buy extra groceries. The manager was very pleasant she left easy instructions to get into the house and we were left with a Christmas gift surprise we thoroughly enjoyed.

was good
house was in great location to Phillip Island, was a bit dissapointed there was no secure parking, by pics thought property had double gates for access to property, house was clean, but dinning floor mat was dangerous as i kept tripping over edges, TV remotes and Aircon remotes were hard to get working, and theres no hanging space for clothes, apart from that we had a great stay at Kilcundra and surrounding areas.

Perfect weekend getaway
An easy drive from Melbourne, Whispering Sand in Kilkunda was just as perfect for a weekend away by myself as it would be for the extended family or group of friends. Positioned just around the corner from the Killy Pub, and set back a street from the highway, the location is quiet and convenient. From the balcony and main bedroom on the top floor, you can watch the sun setting over the famous cliffs. The house living areas (upstairs and downstairs) are comfortable and everything that was needed was provided. The communication with Sue was excellent and she was very responsive. I can’t wait to stay again, just not sure who I’ll take with me… don’t want too many people finding out about the gem that is Kilkunda, and the Whispering Sands. Thanks again Sue.

Great location
Location was great with beach just over the road (a short stroll); however beach not safe for swimming, more so for adventuring with beautiful rock pools & building sandcastles. Wonthaggi being only a short 10 mins drive was handy to stock up on supplies (major supermarkets/Bunnings/Kmart/restaurants & cafes etc). The mouth of the Powlett River is a 5 min drive which is a perfect spot for kayaking(kids first time - absolutely perfect). Can do kayaking, SUP or just relax in the water. With huge sand dunes as a back drop, it was something magical. Kids enjoyed running up the sand dunes (a boogie board to ride down is a great idea)! Phillip Island only a 15min drive. Cape Paterson (for safe swimming) only 25min drive. The house layout could cater for two families who are comfortable (with eachother) to holiday with bedrooms & bathroom/toilet upstairs and downstairs with tvs, a/c and dining tables and a (small) kitchen (upstairs) to share. Great size garden for kids if having a quiet day at the house. We enjoyed our stay, spent everyday out adventuring. She was very helpful and offered a nice surprise of the ability to checkin a lot earlier than usual check in time and upon request happily let us check out later than usual 10am, which we were very grateful for. Thank You Sue for a wonderful stay 😊

Short and sweet
We wanted to have a quick break away from the grind and found the Whispering Sands Beach house. This rental ticked all the boxes for us. It was a snug and peaceful house, close to the Kilcunda general store pub, costal walk, the beach and rocks pools. Even though it was almost the middle of winter we were warm and snug as we watched big swells crash on the rocks from our view from the living room. Looking forward to returning for our next break to Whispering Sands Beach house. Thank you for the opportunity Sue!!
