About the host

Hosted by Heidi McKerracher

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 (young kids) who love to holiday ourselves! Gone are the days pre kids when Tim & I travelled the world- & wowee did we visit some amazing places. My family is from England & Ireland so I was lucky to spend many a holiday in Europe. My fav place is Italy & Tim loved Spain. We stay close to home these days & we get to do something we haven’t experienced before- travel around our amazing Victoria in our new caravan (well it’s not so new but it’s out first 1). We want other families to enjoy our home & our amazing backyard of Ocean Grove & all the Bellarine Peninsula has to offer, while we also take a holiday (in our van).
We made a big move while out youngest was just 4 months old & we haven’t looked back. This place is a treasure & we haven’t looked back.
So much we love that is a short drive or walk from home. You’ll have so much to see & do here.

Why they chose this property

We live in a family friendly quiet street with amazing neighbours. Not only are we lucky enough to to live in sought after Old Grove but we bought what we think is the most beautiful house in the street. A double red brick with loads of character.
Our home is perfect for families & great for 2 families. There is a kids wing & a front formal lounge room for the grown ups. The family room at the back has space for 10 at the dining table & plenty of room for the same amount on the big couch while you watch Netflix.
You can also watch the Telly from the back deck setting or listen to some music with the sound bar.
The kids can play in the cubby or jump on the tramp while you enjoy a drink on the deck. You will be greeted by all day sun on the north facing verandah which is perfect for an afternoon relax or a morning coffee.
Plenty of toys & games for the kids as well.

What makes this property unique

An open fireplace with wood & kindling supplied in the front formal lounge with 2 gorgeous leather armchairs. Enjoy a book (provided) & snuggle up with a blanket & a cuppa or a drink & a chat in the evening.
