About the host
Hosted by Denise Spadafora
We love spending time at Dromana with our family. It's one of the reasons we rent out our home , so that others can do the same.
Why they chose this property
The house is a comfy summer beach house that provides great views of the bay. Endless summer nights can be spent on the verandah watching the sun go down and the boats go by. Such a great place to unwind and enjoy with friends and family. It's a place where family memories can be made. Great backyard to play footy with kids.
What makes this property unique
Bay views and quite location in a court. Amazing neighbours and friendly place to stay. We are happy to help with any questions you have during your stay. Linen is included as well as kitchen essentials, so all you need to bring are your beach towels for the beach!
