Wonderful property

Great house, well appointed and plenty of room for extended family Easter! The kids loved the back garden, especially the swings and it was ideal for an Easter egg hunt! Beds all comfortable, kitchen easy to use with everything at hand. Great quiet location near the lighthouse & midway between Flinders and Rosebud (15 mins in either direction). Would love to come back!!

Charming Cottage

What a lovely, character filled property. It felt like stepping back in time, yet the property had all the mod cons. The house was very well maintained and the backyard was sizeable with different zones for play and exploration. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property.

Quiet part of the Peninsula

Lovely Christmas stay at this delightful house. Surrounding areas can get quite busy at this time of year - but Cape Schanck remained quiet. Easy access to either side of the Peninsula for beach visits. Beautiful walks to enjoy along nearby tracks. Thanks to the hosts.

Long weekend away

The house was amazing and in a beautiful peaceful location but central to all the Mornington Peninsula has to offer. We had lovely stay and our dog loved lounging in the backyard. If golf is your thing Cape Schanck is just next door and the fantastic Bushrangers bay trail is 5 minutes down the road. Highly recommend

Warm family home

Really enjoyed that it was clearly a loved family home. The 4 year old in our party loved all the toys to play with. The back garden was great to explore too. Having three double beds suited us too with our family. Cape Schanck is a great area to explore too. Thanks so much for the stay.

Just perfect

Five of stayed at Beeches for a week of golf. We had stayed here several years ago and the house is still perfect for our needs. It is lovely sitting on the back deck viewing the beautiful garden. It’s a great location that is so close to the adjacent golf courses. The house is very comfortable with everything one would need.

WE LOVED THIS PLACE! Great central location for touring around the Mornington Peninsula. The house is in fact much bigger than it appears in the photographs with super cosy rooms and decor plus a lovely terrace out the back. Hope to come back one day soon.

Cosy house with lots of charm

Location was perfect for us as we were walking distance away from the venue we were attending. A wonderful price for the size of the property. We were able to sleep the whole family and enjoy the space. My grandchildrens favourite part was the old phones. Thank you for your kind hospitality. wholetoproperty and tosleep
