About the host
Hosted by Marnie
Hi there, we are Marnie & Michael and we love to travel. We've shared our home with many travellers over the years and also shared the homes of others similarly. We have always the enjoyed the experience of 'homely' spaces and shared experiences .
We are relaxed, down to earth folks who are all about the good times and love adventure, water sports, snow sports, food and wine. We love the Bellarine. We caught the ferry over one day, visited a few wineries, swam with the seals, then brought back some friends a month later. Years later, our dream has become a reality and we are earnest and passionate in bringing more people to this beautiful part of the world to share in what we come to love. We love our place; its homely, not pretentious or precious, its about having everyone around to enjoy the good times, fun activities and its about being easy - easy to get to, so central to get around and everything you need inside to have a great holiday.

Why they chose this property
We love Portarlington and the Bellarine for so many reasons;
- its close enough to Melbourne, (1.5 hrs) but still feels like a country holiday
- Portarlington's ferry makes it so convenient to get here from the Melbourne CBD. One hour, and with a cafe onboard, its like going on a cruise!
- the wineries, breweries, food, restaurants, seafood, distilleries are some of the best in the world and definitely in VIC
- walking distance from the beach, fishing, watersports, sea life
- exciting activities; a theme park, miniature railway, museums, art galleries, mini golf, golf courses
The Bellarine feels like a hidden gem!

What makes this property unique
Its huge! We are walking distance from all the shops, the ferry, the beach, the foreshore, the pub - you won't need the car. The public bus stop to wineries is out the front of our house too, so no need to book a wine tour if you want to visit any on the main route. Although there are some great tour services available if you want to venture out further.
Our house is homely, its functional, and we've set it up for families and groups to have a fun time, so there's no super precious items you have to tip toe around; kick back, have fun and relax. We've got an outdoor deck to die for with an undercover bbq, serving window, lounge, dining table, foosball table, table tennis all overlooking a fire pit and garden. There's grass for the children to play, a long concrete driveway, and we've included a paddle pool, backyard cricket set, Kubb, snorkelling gear and more to help make your trip memorable and fun.
