Our four families spent the weekend at this great house. It had all the creature comforts one would expect from home and the spa was a hit with the children. Would highly recommend this place for large groups.

What a great spot - close to shops and beach. The house had loads of room and really well equipped. Thank you for the quick response when the front door battery went flat. Great service.

Amazing Place And Amazing Location For Large Groups
For a large group, this house has it all!
Hot tub, games room, fireplace, multiple TVs, kitchens and living spaces, BBQ and a spacious balcony with amazing views - all whilst only a few hundred metres from the beach, pub, cafes and shops. And it's actually quiet! You can't fault it.
Everyone who stayed there couldn't believe how good this house was and the fact that everything was walking distance, was perfect.
A weekend full of life memories and we've got Bliss on the Bay to thank.

If you already have dates in mind for your next visit to the Mornington Peninsula, please let us know and we would be happy to secure them for you. We do book this property year to year, so if you wish to secure something for next year, we highly recommend that you book it in now, to avoid future disappointment.
The overall experience was positive – it was a well-presented property, great location (although the car wash right next door was noisy and had bright lights left on all night), plenty of room (we had 12 guys on a golf trip) and the separate lounge areas were appreciated.Other positive features were complementary coffee pods and bottle of wine, seating on balcony for 12 guests and the provision of linen and bath towels. One of the challenges is that expectations are higher given the somewhat upmarket style of the property. So, here are a few suggestions for improvement:- the games room could be a real feature but lacks finishing touches. The table tennis bats were terrible, pool table and cues were second rate, and the general presentation was lacking;- the iron was faulty and poured water everywhere – needs replacing;- there were a couple of mats near the front door that were frayed and unappealing and didn’t present a good initial impression;- the cooking utensils (mainly pans) were old and need replacement;- the spa was at best lukewarm and discouraged its use (no-one went in!); - instructions on the use of the induction stove would be beneficial (if they were there we couldn't find them!).- we knew there would not be a clothes dryer, but you would normally expect to have on in a facility like this;- the landing approaching the front door, when dark, is a trip/safety hazard. These comments are intended to be constructive feedback - overall, our stay was great

The house was great for the four families we had staying there including 9x kids. The 2x living areas (including kitchens), plus games room made it feel really spacious. Although note the games room is actually in the garage so it is a little cold in there during winter. The location was just superb. We could walk to everything Rye has to offer and when we had an issue we got a quick response to our question. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again in the future!
