Long weekend getaway

The property was perfect for our long weekend on the Mornington Peninsula. Had absolutely everything we needed, very comfy beds, nice backyard for the pup to run around and was nice and cosy. Connie was a great host, quick to answer all of our questions and very helpful! Highly recommend and hope we can come back one day!

Beach holiday

Well presented property. We had a great holiday. The house had lots of things for the kids to play with. The kitchen was well supplied with utensils. There was ample sitting for our large family. Terrific communication from Marie.

Even Nicer Than Photos

Connie was such a nice and accommodating host. The place is even nicer in person and the space is clean and offers lots of room to sleep easily 10-11, however in the end we didn't use all the beds. Close to the beach and amenities too, unfortunately the pier was closed. We booked for a boys fishing weekend and it has a good size entertainer for a low key BBQ. The neighbours were all nice too. I would stay here again.

Great host, excellent location and very clean

Marie has been excellent throughout our stay. She is very responsive whenever we have questions. Her house is very clean and nice, with comfortable beds and the utensils that we need. It's only 5 minutes walk and around 6 minutes drive to rosebud and rye. Highly recommended. Thanks Marie.
