From the moment you arrive at Bimbimbi – understood to mean “place of many birds” in the local Aboriginal language – you sense something special: a profound peace that settles over you like a gentle exhale.
For 44 years, three generations of the one family have gathered here, celebrating two weddings, countless birthdays and creating the kind of memories that become family folklore. Now, this idyllic retreat awaits its next chapter.
Perfectly positioned on the foreshore, a meandering private pathway through the ti-tree draws you directly to a calm, safe north-facing beach – a rare and prized aspect that creates sheltered swimming conditions perfect for children and grandchildren. Here, wallabies and kookaburras visit you in the garden, while the rhythm of the waves sets the pace for slower, sweeter days. Picture lazy evenings with a glass of wine and picnic on the sand, barefoot walks at sunrise and the simple joy of a beach house where nature surrounds you.
Completely renovated in 2014 to a timeless, luxury standard, Bimbimbi is a sanctuary of light and style. The north-facing design bathes the interiors in natural sunshine, while open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces flow effortlessly onto an inviting alfresco terrace framed by leafy, ever-changing outlooks. Solid Blackbutt timber floors and double-glazed windows deliver both warmth and quiet sophistication, complemented by a cleverly-positioned study nook.
The kitchen is a masterclass in considered design: stone benchtops, a generous island bench, premium European appliances and abundant storage combine to create the perfect hub for leisurely breakfasts, family dinners and effortless entertaining. Year-round comfort is assured with split-system air conditioning and the cosy warmth of a Morso Danish wood heater.
The master retreat is pure indulgence – a private haven complete with window seat, sitting area, walk-in robe and beautifully appointed ensuite. Three additional bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and built-in robes, share a main bathroom with full bath and separate powder room. Roman blinds throughout, generous dining proportions and hidden roof storage accessed via pull-down stairs reflect meticulous attention to detail.
Bimbimbi is a rarity on Phillip Island: a fully renovated, light-filled haven where every element has been thoughtfully crafted for relaxation and pure enjoyment. This is the perfect beach house where bush meets sea – a place where beautiful family memories will be made, and where calm isn’t just promised, it’s instantly, unmistakably felt.
