We were a group of 9 adults (all family) who spent the Labour Day weekend at The Helm in Safety Beach. It is a beautiful house with all facilities included and made for a very comfortable stay. The main entrance to the house is from the street front but there is a back lane that leads to a large double garage with the 5th bedroom at that lower level. The house is a 2 min walk to the Marth Cove Marina boardwalk from where you can enjoy a leisurely walk along the Marina watching boats sail past. For shopping, Mornington and Dromana are 15 min away. The host Allan was very responsive to any messages although we did not have any issues during our stay. Would recommend this house to families with children or just adults and looking forward to being back at some stage.
