  The site at 16-22 Carr Street has visual connections with the Barwon River and the Ocean Grove reserve to the east, together with the Ozone Road jetty and Barwon Heads Bridge to the south. This site also has visual connections with single storey houses of mixed styles and periods. This large site comprises four allotments and therefore has large front and side setbacks. The front is bound by a stone fence comprised of irregular stones, with a gateway having two piers and a steel gate with the name The Haven as part of its construction.
  
  At least three substantial cypress trees are situated on the site, which form significant urban focii in the streetscape.
