Home away from home
Our stay at Banksia on the Bay was wonderful. The house was clean and extremely well-equipped, it had everything you could possibly need and more! The space itself was great - lots of separate areas to relax with a cup of tea. There were 6 of us staying, but it never felt crowded due to the various outdoor areas available. Thanks very much Gina for a lovely stay!!

Beautiful holiday home in Rosebud.
Beautiful clean house, that was true to photos provided. Loved the undercover veranda that surrounded the house, complete with BBQ area, somewhere to sit with a coffee or wine and even a hammock. Lovely quiet street that is a great central location to everything the Mornington Penninsula has to offer. Rosebud’s main street was a short walk away, a 5 min drive to supermarket and shops. Unfortunately we had to cut our trip short due to a covid lockdown, but Gina the owner was so supportive and even provided a refund for the night we lost. Thanks Gina for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We would love to come back one day.

Clean and convenient
Nice clean house close to Rosebud shops and beach (although a bit too far to walk with children). The kitchen was well stocked with pops, pans, utensils etc. Supplying a portacot and high chair was a thoughtful touch.

The host for this rental is absolutely amazing, they had true patients and replied back within an hour or two. The host was understanding and made sure their guests made the most of their stay. The property was equipped with many things to keep us entertained throughout our stay. The interior and exterior looked even more beautiful when we arrived.

Peaceful, beautifully decorated, has everything you need!
We had a wonderful stay at Banksia on the Bay. Gina and Rocco accommodated our earlier check in and were easy to communicate with. The house is so lovely, just right for our family. Comfy lounges, comfy beds, gorgeous verandah, super clean, super cosy. Everything we needed was there, linen, towels, beach gear etc which was great as we travelled from interstate. Lots of "how to" information provided, which is always really helpful. Not far from Rosebud beaches and shops. Great wifi too! Thanks so much, was exactly what we needed.

We had a small hiccup at the start (our mistake) but Rocco and Gina fixed it with little to no fuss. The place was well kept and homely with everything we needed. I am not a fan of having to download an app to communicate but small price to pay. Thank you very much for looking after us, we loved our stay. Cheers. Lee Mason

Great location, clean and comfortable
A nice, clean, comfortable place to stay. We stayed for a week, plenty of room for the family. It was close to many things in Rosebud, shops etc. Added bonuses were the games for the kids (many rounds of uno were played). The beach umbrella and chairs were handy for a trip to the beach. We could see the Australia Day fireworks from the back deck through the trees. Would recommend this house for families to stay.

Our aim is we want all our guest to feel that they are experiencing a holiday but to make sure they have all the comforts of a home.
