Wirrega is a comfortable barn-shaped structure nestled in 5 acres on Bear Gully Road, Cape Liptrap, Victoria. 

Available for weekends (or longer) rental, it is the perfect venue for common interest groups, social clubs or extended family groups seeking a relaxed recreational break.

Wirrega represents eco-tourism at its best.  Every part of this spacious coastal hideaway has been fashioned from recycled materials massive hand-adzed beams and weathered poles that date back a century or more.  The extensive use of glass creates a beautiful dining room

Guest accommodation presently 

consists of five bedrooms on ground 

level, and two bed rooms in a loft 

reached via  a spiral staircase.

The downstairs rooms contain a double bed, plus a single bed on an upper level.  The bedrooms open onto a communal living space, and all have doors leading directly into the garden.

The walls are constructed of mud bricks and a variation of the wattle-and daub technique used in pioneering times.  Ochre added to the slurry has imparted a wonderful rustic warmth.

The floor is a joy to walk on.  It looks like dressed and polished stone but is an amalgam of rammed earth, clay and sand stabilised with bitumen.

 When the amalgam dried and cracked the fissures were filled with grouting; the entire surface was then given many coats of shellac, imparting a deep, rich sheen.
