Weekend at Pt Lonsdale

We really enjoyed Louise's property. It is in a great location - off the main road and secluded in a cul de sac but only a short walk to Pt Lonsdale strip and beach). The place was clean and bright, and the furnishings modern and comfortable. While attached, the property is very private and separate from the main residence.

We have stayed here at least 5-6 times. Feels like a second home. Lovely ,clean, comfortable and quiet. 2-3 minute walk to the beach, and a 10 minute walk to the shops. Highly recommended.

Weekend getaway

The perfect studio apartment for the two of us. A great location being so close to the beach and the Point Lonsdale shops. But tucked away in a quiet court away from the holiday crowds. A comfortable bed and couch for relaxing. Will definitely consider staying again.
