A wow-factor Australian icon, architecturally renovated and suspended 40 meters above Fairhaven Beach for a view-filled holiday quite unlike any other.
  • Sleeps: 2
  • Bedroom: 1
  • Bathroom: 1
  • Minimum stay: 1 night

Originally built by Frank Dixon back in 1978, The Pole House is one of the most photographed places on Australia’s Great Ocean Road – and with good reason!

Dramatically suspended 40 meters above Fairhaven Beach, and newly renovated by a master architect, the views from this iconic retreat are truly exceptional… you’ll feel as though you’re living amongst the sea and sky themselves.

Not that that’s all there is to this exceptional house. Blinds open and couches recline at the touches of buttons, while soft lights glow with a mere wave of your hand.  

There’s also a gorgeous bathroom pod clad in burnt ash panels, and a fireplace suspended in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, that looks for all the world as though it’s burning brightly out at sea.

Sleeping two guests, we can’t think of anywhere more perfect for a long-awaited honeymoon, or a romantic break that demands something seriously special.
