Along the Great Ocean Road about 20mins south of Lorne, you’ll come to Separation Creek. Perched on the headland facing Bass Straight is one of the countries ultimate beach houses.

The house has a very small footprint and with its green façade it all but disappears into the hillside. Indeed, during filming a kookaburra was so comfortable it laid a claim to the balcony, strutting with confidence, as if to say, ‘what’s everyone doing in my home?’
