Amazing property in the perfect summer location

We all loved the barn (and the trampoline). Dog friendly a huge plus for us. Wonderful hosts. Will definitely be back.

Lovely rustic coastal accommodation

The accommodation and location were fantastic. Be prepared for a few bugs around but that’s par for the course. It’s a barn. There is a wine making area in the barn separated only by a black curtain. Same level as the bathroom. Lots of rules and regulations with both the Mornington Peninsula Code of Conduct and another list from the owner, who is literally next door on the same property. We had an additional hand written note from to say that he will be making wine on Saturday morning and hopes to disturb us minimally. It started at 7am , which is within the code of conduct rules, but not what we expected for the price we paid. Probably wouldn’t stay again as it’s a bit awkward with owners so close and using the rental for other purposes.

Great property

Great, spacious property with lovely outlook, fantastic grounds and short drive to beach. Note, the house is over three levels, with bathroom and fridge on bottom floor, so be prepared for some stair climbing!
