We thoroughly enjoyed our stay celebrating a special family birthday. The view was amazing and could still be enjoyed from inside the property’s main living area when it was a bit fresh outside! The main living space was perfect for our group of ten to prepare and eat meals as well as relax together and enjoy the view. The property manager was responsive and very helpful. I would definitely consider staying here again.
We had a lovely stay at this magnificent house with a breathtaking view! The host was very responsive and communication was great. The room configuration was perfect for a party of 10. The huge theatre room was a real hit! Spa was great as was the pool table/table tennis table. Close to all the Peninsula has to offer. Highly recommended. Matt and fam
Hosts very helpful and communicative, fantastic views of the bay and plenty space for all the family, amazing cinema room. Ideally located and plenty to do and enjoy in the Peninsula, would highly recommend. Sunsets were fantastic, and great view of Melbourne, just a shame it was cloudy on New Year’s Eve so we couldn’t see the fireworks!
This is a fabulous house with breathtaking views of the ocean. Plenty of room for our group of 8 adults. The house was spotlessly clean throughout and the check in/out process was simple. Excellent communication from the hosts. Would stay here again for sure. Be aware that there are many levels and stairs throughout the house (it does have a lift but was out of order, which we were made aware of at the time of booking)
