Wonderful
We loved it. A homely place to stay. We loved the books and all the utensils. Generous pantry also. The view spectacular- especially of the ships passing the heads. Close to the shops. Thank you so much. 5 stars.

heads up review
property thoughtfully equipped and well presented. view and position A1. my only issues were would have preferred a double bed, even though I was on my own. bins needed emptying. the mid week quiet helped the ambience of the place, and I also enjoyed the historic association's photo compilation. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Beautiful memories
What an amazing property and outlook. We had such a lovely time at this beautiful property watching the ships come in & out of the heads from our lounge-room couch. The house was very clean, had large windows with uninterrupted views of the ocean and spacious rooms. So magical & such wonderful memories to take home with us of this, walks along the beach at our front door, walking across the road to the beach for our morning coffees. Thank you

Fantastic
I brought my family together for a brief holiday. My grown up children, their partners, a grandchild, friends and my elderly mother. I'd grown up every school holidays at Point Lonsdale and wanted my children to experience what the town and surrounding area has to offer. They were not disappointed. I chose this house carefully for the location and suitability for accommodating my group. On arrival we were greeted by Jan and Jude who were very welcoming. This is a much loved family home and we felt it. Very comfortable, clean with all the facilities you could imagine, right down to the telescope to watch the many ships sailing past. We are working on returning to the house in the future.

Seaside Gem
A holiday at the beach - bliss! We made a last minute enquiry on the Stayz website to stay four nights. The owner, Andrew, was extremely helpful and flexible. Jan, the property manager, met us at the door to show us through the house, or should I say, a welcoming and comforting home. Everything you could possibly want is at Merrilyn. Plenty of room for all, a hideaway room complete with books, TV/DVD for private space or children, a very well-equipped kitchen with sparkling pots, pans and even a cupboard full of recipe books. We found the beds very comfortable. If you are looking for a total beach stay, with two beaches on offer (the beach across the road has an amazing promenade and the ''Back Beach" beyond the lighthouse has a wild feel), a selection of cafes, and a high quality fish and chippery - Beach View Merrilyn is for you and yours! We stayed four nights and felt as if we had a four week holiday! It's True!

Excellent property and location
This was the second time we have stayed at the Merrilyn and it was just as good as the first time! It is a very comfortable home and well situated for viewing the ships, close to shops and close to beachside for walking and relaxing.

Such a beautiful house with an amazing view. Clean, comfy and well-equipped, there's nothing more we would ask for. Get to bed early and wake up for the sunrise right at the door. Thank you Janice for the impeccable stay in Point Lonsdale.

Beautiful home
We have just spent a most enjoyable week in a very comfortable home with magnificent views to match . The owners were very flexible and generous and there was no hesitation when we need to change our original booking date . The house was well supplied with everything one would need for their stay including well stocked pantry and bathroom extras if you forgot . I will definitely be back and was hesitant to write a review in case this slice of paradise was so heavily booked in future we could not get back!

Beautiful location and feel
This beautiful home is in a great location and has a peaceful feel for a short holiday not too far from Melbourne. The owners and property manager were generous and flexible which made our stay much easier and more enjoyable. A few modifications would make this a wheelchair friendly home and give happiness to many more. We had a couple of guests, and they commented on the house, location and view - it was the perfect place.

The property is situated in an excellent location with great views of the bay, walking distance to shops, walking tracks and very convenient for the beach. A very well equipped home, comfortable bedding and couches, in a quiet location.

Slice of Heaven
Slice of Heaven I brought my 94 year old father here for a week and we will be back for another week. With stunning views of Port Phillip Bay's narrow mouth to the open sea we were entertained by passing ships day and night. From our superbly comfortable twin singles in the front bedroom, the kitchen, the snug study and the large lounge/dining room the sea is there in all its moods. The long wide walkway beside the shore meant I could take my father in a wheelchair right beside the beach. Equally cafes and a supermarket are within walking distance. The owners are generous in making available a partly stocked pantry, plenty of good books to read, movies to watch and a great TV. The bathroom cabinets are very thoughtfully stocked as is the pantry. The kitchen is a pleasure to use with very good appliances and plenty of crockery and cutlery. This is a home rather than a place. It was also a home where I could play the piano to welcome dad to dinner!
