Rotten Point House

Christened for the nearby point, this Nicholas Burns-designed pavilion is the antithesis of its moniker. Instead, think majestic, breathtaking, striking. And for those who thrive on privacy, this four-bedroom house is the ultimate in oceanfront getaways. Decked out in furniture by Saarinen and Eames and with a freestanding fireplace that marks the boundaries of the living and dining areas, it is modernist yet never too minimal. The panoramic views from each of the rooms and a protected courtyard take in the beach, Southern Ocean, cliffs and countryside. Fill the car with local produce before your arrival, then hibernate in your new pad.
Location
The village of Johanna is the tiniest of rural settlements but the beach is the drawcard here. Spectacular and often deserted, it’s perfect for long walks that take in some of the Great Ocean Road’s most beautiful landscapes.
