Great, clean holiday house

Our stay was lovely at this spotlessly clean, well supplied holiday house. Comfortable beds and linen, well stocked kitchen with plenty of crockery and cutlery and basic pantry supplies. Great views over the bay and only a few minutes drive to the beach, shops and connections to the rest of the Peninsula. Denise was a very helpful and responsive host. Check in and directions clear and easy. Would recommend to others.

Thursday and Friday 116th and 17th March

Thanks! Excellent. Highly suited to our group of 3 couples especially with the downstairs section with the extra bathroom. Driveway not an issue for us. Good location for the wedding that we attended and close to the tourist sites we had planned. Without doubt beautiful view across Port Phillip Bay...loved the misty silhouette of Melbourne city floating in the sea. Dishwasher would have been good and had to be careful with the steep entrance steps. Lighting however was good.

Just what we needed

The house was just what we needed for our short stay. Even with the cooler/ rainy weather we felt cosy with the heating within the house. The kitchen provisions are also generously provided. Location close to other attractions, beach, playgrounds and shops. We will no hesitate to stay again.
