One of the best hidey houses we've stayed in
We loved this place. It had everything we needed. There was no skimping on bedding, two sheets on the beds and extra warm blankets. The kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils, glassware, crockery and cutlery. The home is modern and clean, with lots of toys, books, DVDs. Our dog loved the little backyard and the offlead beach was a nice 35min walk.

The house was in a quiet location with easy access to the town and beach. It was very hot when we stayed which meant that the bedrooms were very warm. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were very responsive to our messages.

A lovely great sized house for a family to stay in that is close to all shops, restaurants and the beach. Everything was clean and comfortable. Allowing for small pets in the compact backyard was nice.

Love this property!!
We have just come back from a 3 night stay at this property and we thought it was amazing! Caroline and Ian have done a fantastic job making sure it is a comfortable stay. They have thought of everything! The house was well equipped with everything we needed. Our kids loved all the games and the wii was a big hit. This is also the cleanest holiday rental we have had....the house was spotless and we felt comfortable as soon as we walked through the front door!

Perfect holiday house
As soon as we walked through the door we got the 'wow' factor. Light filled, stylised, fresh, clean and very comfortable house. All the amenities you need were there, great location and walking distance from main street shopping and beach. The owners were great to communicate with from the booking process through to the last day of our stay. We loved it and hope to be back again.

Amazing Getaway!!
My friends and I had such a relaxing time away staying at this property. Caroline and Ian were so lovely to talk and organise things with which made the overall experience even better. The house was so clean, modern and homely and was in a perfect location, close to the beach, plaza, and mini golf! Could not recommend this place enough!!

In the lead up to our stay communication with the owners was fantastic, responses were always very prompt and so polite. When we arrived the property was clean, tidy and decorated beautifully. The property had everything we could possible need and want. We absolutely loved all of the games, especially the outdoor games. Our stay was very relaxing, this property and managers come highly recommended from my family. Thank you again!

Clean and comfortable beach home
This house was very clean upon arrival, had everything we needed, and the owners were nice enough to allow us to bring my Golden Retriever along for the holiday. The location was great - walking distance to the beach, supermarkets, and carnival. Next time I need a comfortable and relaxing place to stay in the Mornington Peninsula I will definitely book this one again!
