The accommodation was not only as described but a pleasant surprise. Maree was very accommodating and the communication prior to our stay was incredibly helpful. Couldn't recommend more highly.
The accommodation was gorgeous and perfect for our needs, i.e., travelling with a dog. Very thoughtful provisions and facilities were supplied for both humans and dogs. The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and relaxing. Helpful guidance and instructions were also provided which helped us explore the local area. We wish we could've stayed longer

We're so glad your stay at our place was comfortable & relaxing. We aim for guests to feel like it's a home away from home
The hosts were friendly, accommodating and hospitable. The amenities and accommodation were fantastic. My doggies were spoilt with their own backyard area as well as an insulated kennel and even beds to use outside. The hosts provided fantastic information and resources on amazing local locations to visit as well as friendly off lead dog beaches/parks. The hosts treated us like family. You won't be disappointed!

The property was absolutely perfect a truly home from home feel would recommend this to everyone.
Beautiful property, quiet area. We were only dropping in on our way through down to Tassie but after a full day of driving it was a nice destination to get too to relax. The extra touches with the doggy beds were a great touch.
We have stayed at this property previously so we had no hesitation in booking again. We had another lovely stay. Our hosts were welcoming but respected our privacy Thanks Marie and Bill for making this accommodation available .

You were great guests & it was our pleasure to host you three. All the best with your new puppy!
We really enjoyed our stay at this appartment in Curlewis. It was well located with great walking tracks and easy access to the beach. It was a clean and very comfortable place to stay and had everything we needed. Access was easy and our hosts were helpful but very mindful of privacy. Our dog was also very happy here. Lovely place.

About the host
Your host
Bill and I are semi-retired and moved from Melbourne more than two years ago. We’ve travelled around the world and as we settle into retirement we chose to build in the Bellarine as we’ve always enjoyed our trips to this area and love the relaxed lifestyle. The Bellarine has a wonderful mix of coastal and country-style living. We enjoy walking our dogs every day along the creek to the local beach or taking a trip to one of several ocean beaches nearby. We also love the fact that there are more than half a dozen unique “villages” within a short drive and the area is dotted with great wineries, places to eat and fun places to visit.
Why they chose this property
Our property is new with a purpose-built studio-style guest space. It’s close to all that the Bellarine has to offer with a great view of the water down the street.
What makes this property unique
Pet friendly with fully enclosed pet courtyard and doggie sandpit. Close to walks, beaches, shops, wineries.
