The Hot Tub Experience
Finding holiday accommodation with a genuinely private spa on the Surf Coast isn't common. At Holyday House, the hot tub sits in the backyard — fully private, available 24 hours a day, year-round.
On clear nights, you'll soak under a sky full of stars with the sound of the ocean in the background. In winter, there's nothing quite like stepping into hot water while the cold air prickles your skin and steam rises around you.
The spa is heated and ready whenever you are — no booking a time slot, no sharing with strangers.
A Romantic Getaway
Holyday House works beautifully for couples looking for a coastal escape. While the house sleeps 8, it's equally perfect for two people who want space, privacy, and a touch of luxury without the resort price tag.
The Perfect Winter Escape
Winter on the Surf Coast is underrated. The crowds disappear, the ocean puts on a show, and Torquay takes on a quieter, moodier beauty. Holyday House is set up for winter comfort:
Wood-Burning Fireplace
Light the fire, pour a glass of wine, and settle in. There's something deeply satisfying about a real fireplace on a cold coastal evening.
Split-System Heating
Ducted heating throughout the house, so every room is warm when you wake up. No cold dashes to the bathroom.
Whale Watching Season
June to September, southern right whales and humpbacks migrate along the Surf Coast. Watch from the clifftops at Bells Beach or Jan Juc — 10 minutes from the house.
Storm Watching
Winter swells produce dramatic surf. Grab a coffee and watch the ocean from the clifftops — then come home to the spa.

Wine & Dine
Torquay's dining scene punches above its weight. Blackman's Brewery for craft beer, local cafes for brunch, and restaurants along the foreshore for dinner with a view.
Great Ocean Road Day Trip
Drive the Great Ocean Road at your own pace. Stop at lookouts, walk through rainforest, see the Twelve Apostles, and be home in time for the spa.
