Golden Days Shack in Juc-Family & Pet-Friendly,5-Min Walk to Beach, Near Torquay

Cool vibes meet coastal charm at Retro Shack, just a 5-minute walk to Jan Juc Beach. This pet- and family-friendly retreat is a dream destination for surfers and beach lovers alike. With its laid-back retro vibe and comfortable amenities, it’s the perfect base to soak up the iconic surf culture of the Great Ocean Road.

Located just minutes from the world-famous Bells Beach, Retro Shack offers easy access to one of Australia’s most celebrated surf breaks, known for its legendary waves and stunning cliffside views. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer chasing the perfect swell or a beginner looking to experience the thrill of the ocean, this is the ultimate surf-side getaway.

For those who prefer land-based adventures, the nearby Surf Coast Walk and the Jan Juc to Bells Beach trail provide breathtaking coastal views and opportunities to explore the region’s natural beauty. After a day of surf or exploration, refuel at the nearby Bird Rock Café, a local favorite for its delicious meals and relaxed vibe.

Step Back in Time – A Nostalgic Holiday Stay

This home is an authentic 1977 build with only a few small renovations over the years. While it is fully functional and clean, it is not a luxury stay. Instead, this home offers a unique experience—one that brings you back to the simplicity and charm of childhood holidays. Think cozy, familiar, and full of character rather than modern and high-end. If you're looking for a nostalgic escape with all the essentials, this is the perfect spot for you.

Perfect for surfers, families, and pet owners, this property invites you to embrace the Golden Days of laid-back living. ☀️🏄🌊👙⛱️🌱🪴
