Fast Wi-Fi, board and card games and a dartboard, there’s always something to do, whether you’re relaxing indoors or spending quality time together.
Step outside onto the back porch and enjoy a peaceful space to sip morning coffee, fire up the gas BBQ for dinner or gather around the fire pit under the stars. The fully fenced yard makes the property pet-friendly and safe for children and furry friends to roam.
Located in the heart of McCrae, this home is perfectly positioned for exploring the best of the Mornington Peninsula. From the beach and coastal walking tracks to renowned wineries, the Arthurs Seat Eagle, hot springs, parks and playgrounds, everything is just minutes away.
