Great family holiday
Had a great holiday with our 5 kids and dog. Walking distance to Edward's Point Reserve and a short drive into St Leonards (with the best fish 'n' chips in Victoria). Owner excellent with communication.

Impressive Beach House - Highly Recommend! thanks :)
This property was clean, neat and had such a great beach feel about it. The property exceeded our expectations for convenience and comfort. Communication from the owner was by far the best I've ever had, this was an easy transaction and great consideration was given to us which made our holiday amazing! The proximity to the beach is great along with a number of available beach/bush type walks, just outside your door. I would very highly recommend this property, its provides everything a relaxed, comfortable, cozy beach holiday should have. Thank you for our great holiday.

Very happy with our stay
The home and bungalow were very clean and everything you need is there. Enough space for a bigger family and nice big yard for our pet. It was a great location for taking walks to the beach and all around the area. Would stay again.

Mid week break
We enjoyed our two night stay, close to nature reserve and beach. The house is well equipped and would suit a large family. Good value, bed comfortable and inverter ensured warmth as required.

About the host

Host profile image
We have been coming to St Leonards for over 10 years. Our family of 5 and many friends have had great times here

Why they chose this property

We choose this property as we wanted a large block with plenty of space. Large established trees and the bungalow gives you that extra space. Walk into the nature reserve in 5 minutes and onto the beach in under 10 minutes.Its quiet bushy and relaxing

What makes this property unique

Large block of land so you have plenty of open space around you as thats what we come here for. Some properties have two houses on the one block with others almost on top of you. Plenty of space for kids and dogs to roam inside secure fences. A large north facing deck that in summer has a mixture of sun and shade with the decking built around a large tree. If you have a boat plenty of room to get it of the road.
