About the host
Hosted by Annie Hamlet
My family has a lovely holiday house called 'Adrift at Ventnor' located on Phillip Island, Victoria which we love to share. I love natural beauty, beautiful beaches, stunning sunsets and happy dogs; all of which can be found at our place.
Why they chose this property
My beach house is a short walk to beautiful pristine beaches at the bottom of the street. The beaches are perfect for swimming, exploring rock pools, boating, gorgeous sunsets and wonderful walks. There is a dog beach too. We are also located near the penguins, surf beaches and a short drive into Cowes where there are plenty of restaurants and shops. The property is fully fenced with large gardens and outdoor entertaining areas, comfortable furnishings, fully equipped kitchen, plenty to do with table tennis, cubby house, BBQ, TVs, DVDs, board games & reading nook to mention a few. The atmosphere is peaceful and adrift from hustle and bustle!
