Spacious Retros
The vacation home has three bedrooms, a living room, and a retro 1960s/70s style. It includes sea views, a balcony, a hot tub, and air conditioning. The fully equipped kitchen has a coffee machine and supplies like oil, salt, and pepper. The bathroom includes eco-friendly products. Beds are comfortable, and the house has a wood-burning fire.
Dining
Guests can cook meals on the BBQ facilities and eat on the outdoor furniture in the garden or on the sun terrace. The property also has a picnic area. A bar on site serves drinks. For other meals, the Jan Juc village center is a 4-minute walk and has a café, pub, and a couple of restaurants, including Swell Café for coffee.
Beach and Trails
The beach is a 4-minute walk away and is dog-friendly, though it has strong currents and no lifeguards. A walking trail goes from the deck along a green valley to the beach one way and an oval the other. The area offers hiking, bike tours, walking tours, and a golf course nearby. A water park is also within reach.
Location
Golden Days Shack is in Jan Juc, 2 km from Torquay Beach. It is a short drive to Torquay's main areas. Avalon Airport is 45 km away. Geelong Botanic Gardens and Geelong Art Gallery are each 25 km away. Free on-site private parking is available, and pets are allowed. The property has a contained backyard for dogs.
“It's a thoughtfully appointed space, channeling a cool retro vibe that feels immediately welcoming and comfortable, like a home plucked from a sunnier decade. You're settled just a short walk from the sand and local shops, a tranquility amplified by a wood-burning fire on cooler evenings. This spot truly captures a relaxed, surf-coast essence, with thoughtful touches that make it feel effortlessly lived-in and genuinely welcoming, even for four-legged companions.”
