Drift - Hope skip and jump away for main beach

Located in the sought after lower Wallace Street area of Wye River, Drift is every bit about about location as it is about features and amenity. Those who know Wye River know how rare it is to be able to easily slip to and from the beach or shops without working up a sweat on your way home. In the case of Drift, even if you do, a quick dip in the spa will sort that out.

As amazing in summer as it is in winter, Drift ticks every box for every season. The open plan overlooks the summer beach activities equally as impressively as is does the cold winter swells. In fact, winter is even more enchanting with the warm fireplace.

The home is modern, light filled, well styled and set across 2 storeys. The lower level includes 2 separate bedrooms and main bathroom. Ascending a central stairwell, the upper level is fully open plan. This open plan even includes the ensuited master bedroom which means this home perfectly suits one couple who like the idea of waking up to the ocean view.

Double sliding doors both front and rear of the main living allow the space to expand at will, with the rear area featuring a built-in BBQ and hot tub.

Other features include a gas log fire, full service laundry, Nespresso coffee machine, off-street parking, reverse cycle heating and A/C, air fryer and slow cooker.

It can comfortably sleep larger families or even 2 families of 4, Drift welcomes those looking for a quiet beach getaway in contemporary surrounds.

Great location, had everything we needed
We enjoyed the location and the modern house. However the shower down below didn’t drain properly, the septic tanks gave off a smell that lingered all weekend, the spa wasn’t that clean and no chlorine available to use. Didn’t wreck our weekend, but they need to be addressed.

Long weekend stay
Extreme lack of communication for our check in process resulting in unable to enter the property on the first night due to key being left inside and house locked. Not a great start with a 5 and 6 year old after travelling 3 hours. Dissapointed in the tones by staff when requested a refund for the night we couldnt access the property and had to request this multiple times before received. Once we were able to check in the 2nd day, the property was equipped with the essentials to do what we needed as a family and had a beautiful view. Quiet area as well which was nice.
