Possum City
Not great for international visitors as you have to bring your own linen and in today’s connected world, no WiFi is not satisfactory but the owners state that was the case on the listing. Bring your own chiropractor as the beds are very soft. Appreciate the owners were very responsive. Probably a better place for local visitors.

Charming Cottage
What a lovely, character filled property. It felt like stepping back in time, yet the property had all the mod cons. The house was very well maintained and the backyard was sizeable with different zones for play and exploration. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property.

Quiet part of the Peninsula
Lovely Christmas stay at this delightful house. Surrounding areas can get quite busy at this time of year - but Cape Schanck remained quiet. Easy access to either side of the Peninsula for beach visits. Beautiful walks to enjoy along nearby tracks. Thanks to the hosts.

Cosy house with lots of charm
Location was perfect for us as we were walking distance away from the venue we were attending. A wonderful price for the size of the property. We were able to sleep the whole family and enjoy the space. My grandchildrens favourite part was the old phones. Thank you for your kind hospitality. wholetoproperty and tosleep

Warm family home
Really enjoyed that it was clearly a loved family home. The 4 year old in our party loved all the toys to play with. The back garden was great to explore too. Having three double beds suited us too with our family. Cape Schanck is a great area to explore too. Thanks so much for the stay.

Just perfect
Five of stayed at Beeches for a week of golf. We had stayed here several years ago and the house is still perfect for our needs. It is lovely sitting on the back deck viewing the beautiful garden. It’s a great location that is so close to the adjacent golf courses. The house is very comfortable with everything one would need.

Long weekend away
The house was amazing and in a beautiful peaceful location but central to all the Mornington Peninsula has to offer. We had lovely stay and our dog loved lounging in the backyard. If golf is your thing Cape Schanck is just next door and the fantastic Bushrangers bay trail is 5 minutes down the road. Highly recommend

Nice and cozy. I highly recommend it.
We was there for the weekend. The weather wasn't that great and it was very cold but the house was very cozy. The host prepared enough firewood and electric heaters in each room for us. Something was wrong when I tried to book for my trip but Rachell was very nice and supportive. There was no wifi in the house but if that something you look for a getaway trip from busy life and forget about phone, ipad... then this is definitely it.

Wonderful house!
I booked the house with my dog. The house is really beautiful and has a lot of inclusions, but I was worried my dog would break everything, so I didn't end up staying for too long. The house was clean and well presented and the hosts were very helpful! I do recommend this house!

What a lovely property! The hosts are super helpful (even when I was a bit of a numpty!). The place is clean, well supplied, unique in its design and so quiet. Perfect location being just 15 mins from either Rosebud or Flinders. We will come back again, everyone loved it. Thank you!

Cabin style home was good for our stay
Located in a nice area, good living room space and open kitchen. Bedrooms had some bedding but T&C required sheets, pillow cases and towels which was fine. Lots of appliances for the kitchen. Place needs a detailed clean though. Quite dusty everywhere and grimy kitchen/bathoom/shower areas. Two toilets were good. Some doors are squeaky and loud, don’t close fully. No ventilation in bathroom. Wouldn’t stay again for the price.
