6 Domain Drive, Wonthaggi VIC 3995

On Domain Drive in Wonthaggi’s Parklands Estate, dual side access suited to boat, caravan or trailer storage joins four bedrooms, a theatre room, a kid’s retreat and a detached garden studio pod, with fully landscaped grounds. It is a home with room for the people, the vehicles and the weekends, set in the town that serves as the everyday heart of the Bass Coast.

Parklands has become one of Wonthaggi’s most established family addresses, with walking paths, landscaped wetlands and open space woven through the estate and farmland views along its edges. It offers a settled residential feel while keeping the shops, schools and services of the town centre within easy reach.

Inside, there is an open plan kitchen, meals and living room, and the home also includes a theatre room and a kid’s retreat that you can set up to suit the way you live. The kitchen features stone benchtops, 900mm cooking appliances, a glass splashback and a walk-in pantry, with stone benchtops continuing to the bathrooms and laundry.

All four bedrooms have built-in robes. The master adds a walk-in robe and an ensuite with double vanity, and there is also a family bathroom. Gas ducted heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning and shade and block out blinds provide comfort through every season.

The detached garden studio pod is currently set up as an extra bedroom, a flexible room that could suit a teenager, a visiting relative, guests or a home work space.

Outside, the covered outdoor patio with its fireplace is a place to gather on cooler evenings, and the 635 m² block has fully landscaped grounds. A double lock-up garage looks after the cars, while the dual side access is suited to boat, caravan or trailer storage.

Living in Wonthaggi

Wonthaggi is the regional centre of the Bass Coast, and living here means the essentials are close at hand. Supermarkets, specialty shops, cafés, primary and secondary schools, the regional hospital, medical services and sporting clubs are all part of daily life in town, which makes it a practical base for growing families, those working locally and anyone relocating from Melbourne.

The coast is never far away. The surf beaches and rock pools of Cape Paterson are a short drive south, and Inverloch’s inlet, cafés and calm-water beaches are close by to the east, so a boat or caravan stored at the side of this home is always ready for the next weekend away. The Bass Coast Rail Trail and the Wonthaggi Heathland Reserve offer walking and cycling close to home, and the town’s coal mining heritage, preserved at the State Coal Mine, gives Wonthaggi a character all its own. Melbourne remains within comfortable reach at under two hours by car.
