Perfection!

What a wonderful place to land and enjoy the South Gippsland area. Georgie was a pleasure to deal with and we had no hiccups. The property was presented well and gave us a comfortable stay. Particularly liked the outdoor hot shower! We will definitely return.

" Bliss at the beach "

The best place for a peaceful, relaxing break. Immaculate and cosy with a lovely vibe. Great shower and everything you might need and more in the kitchen. Secure large yard for a dog and the front and back decks and the sun lounges made for comfortable outdoor living. The welcome pack was much appreciated Georgie. Hopefully we will be back in the winter. Thanks Georgie for sharing your great holiday home and for your excellent communication, Poppy, Bernard and "Bob"

Nice little getaway

The house is exactly as the description and photos describe. A sweet little beach shack that was ideal for our short family + dogs getaway. The yard is very secure for animals, which allows the dogs to have a lovely wander! There is everything you need here to have a relaxing getaway with the kitchen fully equipped, firewood available, and games to play. A small suggestion: could you have doormats at each of the entry doors, to help minimise any mess from coming inside? Although we took our shoes off, there is nowhere outside to do this and brush off the dirt before going in the house (especially during inclement weather).

Great Stay

House was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. The back deck is amazing, we spent hours outside just enjoying the serenity. No. 2 Beach is a short walk away, and the local shops are also within easy walking distance - about 10-15 mins depending on your speed. The outdoor shower was amazing - perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. Although there are several other properties along the street, the area was very quiet and the yard was private. Overall a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Georgina McClements

I am a married mum of two, university lecturer and part time renovator.Sand Dunes and Salty Air was an unloved broken down shell when Paul and I bought her last year. We are still working to improve the house however we are really happy with how far she has come.

Why they chose this property

The space is welcoming and sophisticated in an unbeatable position.

What makes this property unique

To find an original cottage so close to the beach is really unusual. The windows and doors open up to completely let the inside out and the outside in.
