About this property

Breakaway - Just 250m to the beach + Pet Friendly

FREE WIFI , NETFLIX and we are PET FRIENDLY.

Please note we do not take schoolies or large groups under the age of 28 years. We do not allow parties at the property. All you need to bring is your clothes, FOOD, LINEN, TOWELS, TEA TOWELS and PERSONAL PRODUCTS etc (doonas and pillows provided).

Breakaway is perfectly located and is only 250m to the Blairgowrie front beach, and near the dog friendly, Camerons Bight beach. You can walk to the Blairgowrie shops for your morning coffee and paper, or for the lazy brunch. The back beach is only a 15 minute walk in the other direction. There is off street parking and room for a boat.
Breakaway is beautifully furnished, with 2 separate living areas, a huge back deck with a fully fenced yard (post and wire) where everything that you need has been catered for.

It's all taken care of!

We've thought of everything! Breakaway has a kitchen stocked with all essential utensils and a dishwasher. There are 3 bedrooms, two with QS beds and one room for the kids, with 3 bunks (with safety rails) . There are 3 couches. Both living areas have TVs and dvd players, with the main area having a 55' tv. We have the Internet and Netflix available. We have a selection of dvds as well as some toys to keep the kids (and adults) amused. There is an open fire place to set the mood for that romantic night, or for that nice bottle of red and a good book, or just simply to keep you warm (wood can be purchased locally). Each bedroom has a ceiling fan and there is ducted heating throughout the house and reverse cycle air conditioning to the main living area. The 10 seat dining table has enough room for you all. There are 2 bathrooms, one with a bath and the other with a toilet. Outside there are front and rear decks, a BBQ, outdoor setting and umbrella. For the kids there is a basketball ring, playground and sandpit. There are boogie boards and assorted sports gear for the kids to use. The rear yard is fully fenced to keep the kids and your pooch in - yes - you can bring your dog however we take no responsibility if your dog gets out - but please leave them outside and clean up after them. All you need to bring is your clothes, FOOD, LINEN, TOWELS, TEA TOWELS and PERSONAL PRODUCTS etc (doonas and pillows provided).

Feel the serenity!

Blairgowrie is such a wonderful place on the peninsula. The safety and tranquillity of the front beach is only 250m away and the magnificent ocean coast line is only a 10-15 minute walk away. You can walk through the National Park and enjoy the surf, or experience the rock pools at low tide. Imagine sunset walks along the beach only minutes from your door.
You can enjoy cosmopolitan Sorrento, or the quieter Blairgowrie which has all that you need including a supermarket, deli, bottle shop, newsagent and coffee shops. Sorrento is only 3km away where you can enjoy more coffee shops, restaurants and shops.

Relaxing stay in Blairgowrie
The house is a relaxed casual beach house in a great location, walking distance to the dog friendly beach and local shops. There are two spacious decks to relax with a book or dine with family as well as an inside table. The back garden is a bit tired and with a watering system the grass could be much more attractive and with some more plantings. The beds are very basic and matresses are not very comfortable for a week's stay. Bathrooms and kitchen are adequate with no pantry basics so you need to bring your own. Sonos system, bbq and large TV are a bonus. Location is the best aspect of this house and the front garden is a nice spot for breakfast amongst the birds and native plantings. We enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Beach getaway
Awesome backyard for kids and dog to play with spacious deck for outdoor entertaining. Comfy beds, clean and well equipped kitchen with awesome coffee machine. Warm and inviting TV areas with access to their fire. Great location, short walk to the beach and yacht club. Only drawback was the one toilet. Would definitely stay there again.

Breakaway
The house is in need of a bit of repair but is safe inside. It has levels so care needs to be taken when walking around the house. Easy walk to beach. Carport floor could be tricky. The oven was dirty and kitchen could do with a clean. The bathrooms were clean. There is one toilet. Good yard for children and lots of games supplied. Mattresses are basic. The price was reasonable and hosts easy to deal with and quick to reply to questions.

Lovely Blairgowrie wilderness, close to beach and cafes
The house is comfortably renovated -- and has a nice family living practicality. Great heating and insulation, so it was fabulous as a winter get away -- we didn't need our oodies! Big table inside, big table outside. Lovely back yard with kiddie tables, toys and swings, amongst the teatree. Reserve opposite. Stringers reserve behind it (dog friendly) plus a public tennis court so bring your racquets! I went for dogwalks at the dog beach (400 steps away) and Stringers Reserve. My border collie was happy. My 19yo teen and friend caught an uber back from Sorrento for $12, (saves me picking them up!) and he was "the nicest uber driver they had met"... which is high praise. I will stay here again (if Rachelle approves!).

Great location and amenities, just some cleanliness issues
This house is centrally located in the Mornington area and is big with several amenities. Was perfect for us two couples who stayed for a weekend away, and we could see if we had kids they'd be well accommodated for. We loved the ducted heating and coffee machine. Only downside was it was not super clean like the photos. The place had not been vacuumed, was a bit dusty and there was food remains left in the oven which we chucked out upon our arrival. I also gave my room a quick vacuum as my feet were getting covered in crud while walking around. Might have just been a mishap with the cleaning schedule. Other than that it was a pleasant stay.

Close to the beach and shops
It was very easy to walk down to the beach & a bit further to the shops. Very quiet area, good off road parking for 2 cars max. 2 bathrooms but only one toilet. Netflix is always a bonus and the 2 tvs were a great size. Older style home which was adequate for our 2 night stay but probably due for a freshen up & a thorough clean of walls, inside cabinets/drawers and furniture let down an otherwise comfortable home.
