We enjoyed a lovely little break on the Bellarine Peninsula. So very clean and tidy. Plenty of room for the family. Thanks to the hosts for the welcoming bottle of local wine. A great home base for us to explore the area from. Quiet area at the back of St.Leonards.

Beautiful accommodation

Everything was as described in the listing. Great house, amenities, plenty of beds. We were staying down to share Christmas with family and have a house in the area and have shared the details with them so that their friends can also book the property in future. Highly recommend.

Great location to explore the Bellarine

This property was great for our family and 4 legged family member also. We used it as our base while visiting the Bellarine. Very clean, comfortable and lots of space. Photos are very accurate. Only a 10-15 minute walk down to the water. Would stay again.

We much enjoyed our week's holiday in this excellent house with such light and spacious accommodation. The property is extremely clean and well equipped and is conveniently located, close to the beach, local shops, market and a really good restaurant. A particular bonus is the secure parking within the property. The only minor issues were the rather steep and narrow staircase between living and sleeping spaces (but no problem for us) and the intermittent wi-fi connection. Overall we were delighted with our stay here.
