Melbourne: Coast and Country

1/42 Gellibrand Street, Queenscliff
$1.5-$1.6 million 
2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car spaces 

Queenscliff’s historic Ozone Hotel has been transformed into apartments and this ground-level residence overlooks the park and the water. 

Entry is like a welcome from another era; it’s up on to the verandah beneath wrought iron detailing, and then through a pretty leadlight front door.

The two-bedroom apartment has wraparound verandahs and two large living areas. Period features remain and the living areas have high ceilings, floorboards and fireplaces. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern. The apartment is for private sale.

Anything that has Polish explorer Pawel Strzelecki’s surname attached to it can be guaranteed to have some great views. Here in South Gippsland, Halcyon is a 17-hectare property with two houses – each of which looks out on to the rolling hills. Both houses have been recently renovated and the larger of the two has three bedrooms, the main with en suite, and three living areas – including an open-plan room that connects to an outdoor dining area. The second house is a little smaller, with one large living area, but it also has a great kitchen and spectacular views from the deck.
