Just what I needed.

What a lovely place. So welcoming for us Ladies and my little dogs. The paved drive and the high gates meant my dogs could run around without worry. Very relaxing home not far from the beach. Just wish the weekend was longer. Will definitely be back. Thank you

New Year Getaway

Great place to come and spend a couple of days away from Melbourne and feel like you have been away for a week.The property was exactly as per the photos on the site. A Short stroll or drive to main part of town. Far enough away to be quiet at night. Especially as we had our four legged friend with us. Would highly recommend this property to anyone.
