The Guesthouse was bright, spacious and airy. Many different areas to sit, rest and relax and in a great location to walk to everything you need. Kitchen very well equipped and enough seating for a family Easter catch-up.
Our dogs loved their stay with a front yard to explore and grassed area to play at the back.
Would love to stay again.

It was such a pleasure to host Suzannah and her family. We were pleased we could offer your family a comfortable new place to stay, within a great location on The Peninsula, over Easter. Thank you so much for treating the house like your own, and we are so pleased the dogs also had a wonderful time. We would love to host you all again
Take care and all the best

Great property and lovely holiday
We had a great time on our recent holiday. With four adults and four kids we had plenty of room. The house is very comfortably furnished and a short walk to the Rye pier, shops and beach. The owners were very friendly and responsive to any emails. Thanks again Matthew and Christina.

So glad you enjoyed yourselves.Thanks so much for choosing us. Always welcome back, thanks for leaving our place as clean as you did.
Cheers Matty and Christina.
We loved our long weekend at the guesthouse in rye. The owners Matthew and Christina made the process of acess easy and were very helpful. The house is exactly as described- very clean, well equipped and appointed. We were warm and comfy. Great bunk room which was perfect for our 5 kids. A lovely rental.
My family and I couldn't have been more pleased with our stay here. Plenty of room and options where to sit. Was nice to open the blinds to huge windows that were actually clean! Plenty of cutlery and dishes to use which is so helpful going away with a big group. Matty was very easy to contact and helpful which makes the experience of sleeping at a strangers house more like comfort of your own home. We parked our car and didnt hop in it again for 5 days ! Walking distance to everything we needed ! Beach, carnival, supermarket, restaurants, chemist! With many years of staying at houses theres always that 1 thing missing and always hard to please everyone, but we all loved our stay here and cannot fault it. We will be back :) thanks guys !!!

Hi Natasha
We could only wish all hosts could experience what we had with you. You were so pleasing to communicate with through the whole process. Your communication with us whilst you were staying at The Guesthouse Rye, advising us of how pleasing you found the house each day, was so rewarding to us. It was a pleasure to host you all. From initial contact to your last day, you were the perfect guests. Thank you for treating our home like your own. The house was left in a fabulous condition. We would be so pleased to host you all again for an even longer stay if you choose to stay again with us one day.
We wish you all the best for the rest of the year. We recommend you highly to future hosts.
Please contact us again when you next choose to stay on The Mornington Peninsula.

Beautiful property. My girlfriends and I decided a break from our day to day and this was the perfect get away. Enough space for all of us, one used the sunroom to do their zoom workouts while we were away, property has space to pop your car away. Everything is really accessible, it was all that we needed. Thank you to the owners for making us feel really welcome, they were very laid back and that really suited us. We know where we want to come to escape , thank you thank you!
The property is just as described. Very clean and has all the amenities required. The hosts are lovely and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay here. Hope to be back soon
Clean and spacious house with all modern fittings. The house and garden clean and well maintained. Walking distance to beach, pier and shopping strip. Host's were lovely and very accommodating.
Property was very suitable for our fishing trip away. Great location, just a short walk to Rye pier. Plenty of space and all the amenities required for a great break. Matty called before arrival to give us some tips on the area and was very welcoming. Great to have a yard where we could securely park the boat.
Stayed at this fantastic property for a birthday golf weekend with some family and friends. It was the absolute perfect place to set ourselves, fantastic location, plenty of space, lovely front deck and a great yard. The property has all the amenities you would need for an escape. Matty was a great communicator, made check in and check out a breeze and is and all round lovely bloke.
Already discussing our next trip down and this is definitely where we’ll be staying.
Thank you again for everything guys!

Lachlan and group and his large group treated our property with respect.For 10 blokes i was most impressed with the way he left our house.Lachlan is a friendly bloke and easy to deal with.A
Our family enjoyed our stay in this property, comfortable for us with no frills, and clean. We brought our dog with us and the property had secure fences. There was good heating in each room, which made it comfortable during July. Lots of cutleries and kitchen utensils.
The owner, Matty, was really kind to give us a call prior to our stay to run through the place, location and suggestions. It was a really nice touch.
Location is fantastic, being 7 minutes walk to the beach and central to the Mornington Peninsula region for our day trips out.
I would recommend this place for a family who is looking for a simple and comfortable place.
The Guesthouse Rye: Perfect for a family getaway!!
The Guesthouse Rye, is a charming, quaint beach house, that has all that is required to have a relaxing time with the family. Perfect for our family of 3 generations, 4 grandchildren with heaps of room for everyone. Close to the beach, shops, coffee and far away enough to not be disturbed by the noise and bustle during the tourist season. Good sized bedrooms, kids room with an extra TV and games for the kids to play. All rooms had fans and the air conditioning was great, kept all the house cool, even on days of 41 degrees. The kitchen had all the appliances needed, pantry had all the basics needed and the outside BBQ area was large enough to cater for our party of 6 (plus 2 toddlers). The hosts Matthew and Christina contacted us a couple of days before our stay and were very helpful in providing information about the Guesthouse and also about Rye and its attractions. Totally enjoyed our time there, will book again, longer next time.

The property was as described, well laid out and comfortable for a large group. It was very relaxing and close to shops and beaches. Over Christmas it was just the most relaxing peaceful break. The covered patio at the back got the morning sun and was a favourite place for breakfast and sun soaking. It was great to be able to bring my small dog. Would definitely stay again.
