A peaceful, beautiful and spacious property hosted by a kind family.

A truly wonderful stay in a beautiful and spacious cottage with many living areas for families to spread across. New heaters, aircon and anything you can think of is provided. Beautiful gardens to unwind in as well as plenty of room for cars etc. The hosts are excellent with communication and answered any questions we had. We had our dog with us, she was welcomed warmly and happily allowed at the cottage. Thanks Ann. 😊

Beautiful location

This is a lovely place to stay - the location and the house. The rooms are very comfortable and the garden is a wonderful playground for small children. Close to beautiful beaches and pretty small towns. The home owner is next door and helpful. The listed stereo was not present and despite following instructions we could not get the dishwasher to work (small problems). We would definitely return.

What a wonderful place?

This place is absolutely fantastic, pictures don't make it justice. The house was super comfortable and clean, with all that we needed and our 8yo absolutely loved feeding the horses and enjoyed watching the cows. We had a blast and our hosts, Ann & Jurgen were amazing. Definitely recommend, great location and beautiful space.

Merrick North retreat

We had a very enjoyable stay. The spacious relaxed feel of the property was just what we needed. Loved the horses and surrounds. I was also able get some training rides to Arthur's Seat and back via Red Hill. Plenty of hills for challenging rides. Our 2 dogs loved the space and meeting the horses and going for walks on the beach. Flinders dog Beach was a great find.

A Lovely Place to Escape

Overall very pleased with the property, having essentially two living areas made it ideal for our visit with grandparents and our family. The horses in the paddock were a highlight for our kids, good location with 15 mins drive to most activities we did. Would stay again.

Beautiful cottage with lovely view and garden

It's a spacious house. Clean and tidy. Ann and Jurgen are kind and welcoming. The house has everything we needed. Lots of cups and plates. The shops are nearby. Great cafes and restaurants all around to enjoy. Phone reception not the strongest. But we didn't have much issue with it. There's good internet available in the house.

Nice and cosy

House location was great, close to many things around the mornington peninsula. The place was spacious too with decent kitchen, living areas, bedrooms and outdoor. Some spider cobwebs were due to be cleaned but no big deal. The throws/blankets that were on the chair in the bedrooms are also due for a wash. The hospitality was great, we were greeted by Juergen I’m the first day, the house was also warm when we came in and early check in was allowed so we appreciated that a lot. The only thing I would suggest to change is the outdoor security camera facing the BBQ area. Although it wasn’t a big deal to us but we still felt that the camera could’ve been placed elsewhere. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again for quiet and cosy nights away from everyone else. Thank you!
