The Space:
Holiday Escape, located in Rye on the Mornington Peninsula is a new, immaculately presented and spacious house that has been thoughtfully fitted out with Holiday Rental guests in mind. The living area is refreshingly bright with a relaxing lounge area that has a comfy couch and relaxing lounge chairs along with large TV, Bluray, CD player and Wifi. With 1 touch climate control you will enjoy being cosy in winter and cool in summer.
The kitchen is modern, spacious and well equipped with a large oven and gas cooktop, large fridge/freezer, MW and DW. Meals can be enjoyed at the 8 seat inside dining table, alternatively slide open the multiple glazed doors and extend the living space to the outdoors to enjoy meals on the deck beside the solar heated pool and lush lawn area surrounded by high fences.
The Master bedroom has a King bed and ensuite with shower, toilet and double vanity.
Bedroom 2 has a King bed.
Bedroom 3 has a Queen bed.
Bedroom 4 has a Single bed and single Trundle
The main bathroom has both a shower and a bath and there is a laundry with a front load WM
The Pool is Solar Heated and although this is effective in the warmer months of November to March there is no real heating effect from approximately April to October as it relies upon the longer and warmer days for the solar system to effectively heat.

Guest reviews:
- The photos does not do the accomodation any justice. Such a beautiful stay! Perfect for all kids ages! - we had 4 toddlers and could relax knowing the kids were safe while having fun! - booking process also really easy! Would definitely recommend this to any family looking for an easy getaway! - also very close to Peninsula Hot Springs which was a bonus! Thank you David & Team!
- We had a fabulous stay. David and his team were very accommodating with our needs and offered local site seeing recommendations. The house was light filled and beautifully styled with fresh costal decor. The open plan living made it easy to keep an eye on the kids in the pool. It was well equipped with everyday kitchenware (toaster, blender, rice cooker), cutlery and kids toys/games. Pantry well stocked with essential cooking items. We would definitely stay again, thanks David.
- The property had lovely landscaped gardens, and plenty of room for two families with a really well equiped kitchen. Great location - 10mins walk to beach and local shop for coffees and supplies - a little harder with young children. But only a short drive to all the best beaches the peninsula has to offer! David was great, he answered questions super quick and even came round with a delivery of some items we needed. All though we feel the build material and quality was quite cheap the pool made this property brilliant and children entertained.
- Great place for a family holiday, very clean and heaps of amenities . Highly recommend.
- Clean. Quick check in. And fantastic amenities.
- Comfortable homely and great kitchen utensils and appliances! Good entertaining space and also family friendly
- The pool is amazing. Make sure the weather is ideal for it. The house is well located.

Suitable for families. Great location. Needs maintaining.
Enough room for two families. Well appointed kitchen and laundry. Solar heated pool so be aware temp a few degrees cooler than outside temp. Cleanliness was lacking inside cupboards & windows were dirty on arrival. Both bathroom doors didn’t close and when we sought help, a promise of getting them fixed quickly didn’t occur. Disappointed with property management.

Hi Sonia
Thank you for staying and for your feedback.
I'm sorry about the door problem - we couldn't get a tradesperson to attend the house during your stay to fix the cavity slider door.
We have taken measures with the cleaners to ensure there is nothing amiss for future guests.
The pool is advertised as just being solar heated and we clearly indicate in the advertising that during cooler months there is a very limited heating effect.
I'm glad that overall you enjoyed the house.

The house itself is nice but it isnt clean at all. Theres spiderwebs everywhere, extreme amount of dust that caused me to have an asthma attack, swimming pool is very dirty also. Light in the master bedroom WIB doesnt work properly its a hazard, constantly flickers when switched on.

Thank you for your feedback Reyan. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to keep our property clean and comfortable for all guests, and we wish you had let us know about any concerns during your stay so we could have addressed them immediately.
Regarding your comments about cobwebs, we do our best to keep the outdoor areas tidy, but sometimes nature can be persistent, especially in our location. We also apologize for the issue with the walk-in robe light; had we been informed, we would have fixed it right away.
After your departure, our team found the house in a condition that required extensive cleaning, including rubbish on the floor, kiddies slime in the carpets as well as the dining chairs and children’s books and items in the pool. We ask all guests to respect our home as we do our best to provide a welcoming environment for everyone.
Thank you again for your feedback. We always appreciate suggestions on how we can improve and hope future guests will continue to communicate with us during their stay so we can ensure a great experience.
