For food lovers, the town of Sorrento has a vast array of casual and formal waterfront dining or even scrumptious fish and chips to take away and eat on the beach. Ritchie's IGA Supermarket is available in Sorrento for those who would prefer to spend a quiet night in.

Strictly no schoolies, student groups and parties.

Please note: Mornington Peninsula Shire, under the Short Stay Rental Accommodation Local Law, has a code of conduct for short-term rental accommodation properties in the Shire. Registration No: STRA1438/18. Requirements from the Shire stipulate that outdoor areas including the swimming pool, outdoor decking and balconies are not to be used ‪between 11pm and 7:00am‬. Limeburners Family Retreat is a family house and not a party house. We won’t accept group bookings and no more than 8 guests, which the house comfortably sleeps. We like our neighbours and we have many neighbours that live in the area permanently for a quiet relaxing retirement. So we request this to be considered before booking.
