Great location and dog friendly

Great house to take your dog away with you. Our goldie had a ball outside in the beautiful backyard. Was even very relaxing for us when the sun came out. We loved watching movies on the huge couch and then going for a very short walk down to Portsea to either get lunch at Portsea Hotel or grab a coffee from Le Capucin. Although it was a cold wintry holiday, the open fire made us all cosy. Thanks!

Great family getaway

We felt like we were staying at a friends’ holiday home. Very comfortable and family friendly. Highlights - location (walking distance to Portsea Hotel) and outside landscaped area (sunshine all day, lots of space, decking, BBQ and net swing). Open fire was perfect and kitchen well-stocked with cooking kit.

Perfect for families

The house is perfect for families with a swing, great outdoor area, good sized bath and fully furnished. All appliances work well, the washing machine is in good condition and rooms were well sized. I would recommend bringing a power board as there are not many power points. The front door is also difficult to open with the handle sticking so I would recommend using the side door.
