Responsive hosts, spacious house, comfortable, many kitchen items, lots of nice touches — need many weeks to do justice to all the books and games and the two viewing areas!

We're so glad to hear you and the other families had an amazing weekend and that the house was perfect for everyone. We'd love to welcome you back again!
This is our 5th year of doing Coastrek in Sorrento and this is the perfect place for our group to relax afterwards - especially the hot spa has been great for our tired legs! The house was very clean and the kitchen had all utensils and amenities available for our stay.

Glad you all found the house to be a perfect place to stay and relax after the Coastrek walk. We look forward to welcoming your group back next year.
This was our second stay at Magnolia in Rye.
As a group of seniors, (some couples, some singles), the 8 bedrooms work so well.
The house is very comfortable with multiple living spaces and a fabulous kitchen.
The pool and spa are a great inclusion.

Thanks for staying again Anne! We're pleased the house was comfortable for your group and all enjoyed the amenities and space. We'd love to welcome you back again soon.
Third time at this property when a group of us do the annual Mornington Peninsula Coastrek walk for charity. Always clean on arrival and very warm and cozy conditions await us after walking 30km!

Nice house and pool but…
We had a nice stay but there was a lot of noise at night including what sounded like fights out on the street. We had 165 deducted with no communication after the stay and are unable to communicate with owners. Would not stay again.

Hi Michael - I'm pleased you had a nice stay and enjoyed the house and pool. That's unfortunate that there was noise in the street as we have certainly not had this problem before. As per my message through Stayz, we had to deduct $165 from your bond to professionally clean the vomit off the bedroom carpet. It's unfortunate that you had not let us know that this had occurred.
Magnolia cottage is an exceptional place for women's weekends and groups in general, as well as families. Only 2 of our group of 9 had to share a room and this is a rare find. The house is spacious, and lovely with two large living areas and an attractive long Deck, but what our group loved was the spa and pool. Fabulous. The house was really well equipped with everything you could need and in a great location. Couldn't really ask for more. We will be back.

We're so pleased your group had the space you needed for a great weekend away and you all loved the facilities. We hope you can return again soon.
We were a group of 8 women walking 45km for the Coastrek challenge to raise money for Beyond Blue. This house was perfect - lots of bedrooms, spacious living areas, well appointed kitchen and a hot tub for the after walk relaxation. It was warm and cozy on arrival and very clean. We are hoping to return for next years event!
My family of 16 stayed here and had a wonderful time. The upstairs rumpus room was a great area for the kids. And the multiple
Living areas meant we all had space. Will definitely come back
This house is outstanding for a group holiday with multiple families. It is well equipped with plenty of the space. The upstairs bedroom configuration is brilliant and the pool and spa are just the icing on the cake! We will definitely be back

We have just come back from a wonderful week at Magnolia Cottage. It exceeded our expectations in all regards and the pool was magic. A fun week of laughter and swimming and beaches and fun. We plan to return

Clean, comfortable and fully stocked home. Very relaxing and perfect for a golf group of 12 playing courses on the Mornington Peninsula. We will definitely be back. Hosts were very helpful and always answered queries quickly.

Thank you! We're so pleased you had a comfortable stay - we look forward to welcoming you again.
Spacious house with a fantastic layout. Plenty of space for kids and adults to enjoy the weekend away. Easy communication with Kristen. We had an issue with the spa heating after a storm and someone was immediately sent to fix the problem which was great.
I would definitely recommend staying here.

This is a lovely holiday home to spend with extended family and friends. Lots of different living areas to allow teens and younger children to do their thing. Pool and spa were fantastic! Communication from Kristen made this all too easy and we are already planning to return!

Thank you! I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay with your extended family and friends. We look forward to welcoming you again for your next stay.
Overall great place to stay, highly recommend. However was told we couldn't do early check-in due to high demand due to post Covid19 easing of restrictions. Upon arrival deck chairs and tables had cob webs. I believe we were the first people to stay in the house so not sure why we couldn't do early check-in. Also very dusty behind the windows and a number of people of our group become very sensitive to the carpet downstairs. Would suggest a deep clean. but overall its got everything you need. Well equiped.
We loved this property. It was perfect for our family getaway with a few families with kids. Large living areas, beautiful, large pool and small, trampoline, and plenty of toys for the kids. Everything was very clean as well. We would happily stay again. The property managers were also very responsive with any questions or requests.
