Guest Reviews

• Theron (10/5): Gorgeous home stay with excellent sea views, spacious rooms, good heating and facilities and well equipped. - Beautifully decorated home, with gorgeous views from the windows throughout the house. A combination of both ocean view at the front of the house, and forest view at the back. We loved the master bedroom the most. Definitely spacious enough to house 4 - 6 adults comfortably. Nothing. Had a couple of brief encounters with somewhat large spiders (about half the size of a hand palm) but managed to get rid of them quickly.
• Allan (10/5): -
• Pierre (9/5): A fantastic stay at a very comfortable house with all the required amenities. - A great house for a 4 night stay for 3 'senior' couples. Very close to the wineries and a great house to dine at 'home', which we did on 2 occasions. Also, plenty of quality wine glasses which is not always the case. Sam was very professional and also a very nice person to deal with. Apart from the main room/ensuite (which is HUGE), the beds in the other 2 rooms were a tad small....but I'm being picky! Really, there wasn't anything we didn't like.
• Gregory (8/5): -
• SHARMA (10/5): -
• Gul (9/5): Just felt cold other than everything was amazing. I guess summer is the best time to go. - The view is amazing, the house is nice and clean. Wasn’t warm enough, specially master bedroom And downstairs.
• Ann (10/5): -
• Mary-Louise (9/5): - It’s beautiful and spacious Lovely views The stairs to get to front door Didn’t have an ironing board
• Alfred (9/5): Gorgeous views of the bay surrounded by bush land. Lots of wildlife. - Instructions to enter the property where simple and easy to navigate
• Joanne (9/5): Tranquil, clean, beautiful scenery and relaxing place to stay. - Everything was great. Fantastic views of Dromana and Mt Martha. Garden is beautiful, inside and outside well maintained. Had room to park car in garage. Back decking was a great place to eat breakfast and dinner. Sam, the host was always available to talk too. 🌸💕
• Oliver (10/5): Exceptional -
• Louise (9/5): Relaxing atmosphere in a beautiful bush setting. - The house had a great floor plan for an adult group The beautiful gardens created a relaxing atmosphere, which could be enjoyed from inside due to large windows. There were lots of native birds in the garden. Nothing.
• Nicole (8/5): Lovely house and host! Would stay again - Spacious, beautiful views, comfortable Got a bit warm inside when it was a hot day!
• Leoheex (9/5): Family stay with 5 yo and 1 yo - Good value for money for a very spacious home for my whole family. Kitchen was well equipped. There was a baby high chair provided which was very helpful as well. It was also just a short less than 5 mins drive to the Dromana town centre with supermarket, pharmacy and restaurants. It would have been better if there was air conditioning in the bedrooms and living area/kitchen. There seems to be some centralised heating but it seems to be sealed, so the house was a little chilly in the night/morning for early November. There was a room where the carpet might need to be changed or deep cleaned as there was a weird smell.
• Nora (10/5): A great escape - A beautiful home with all the features to make it a comfortable stay. It also had what felt like a secret garden out the back. A bonus was being able to bring our dog along. Communication with Sam (the owner) was great and very prompt.
• Anne-marie (10/5): Everyone thought the house was wonderful - Lovely comfy well appointed house The coffee pod machine :( BYO espresso pot
• Carolyn (9/5): Superb -
• Aryeh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hesara (9/5): Superb -
• Christine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paige (10/5): Loved it . Lovely host . 5 stars - Loved the house . It was beautiful. Safe clean and over looked the ocean I think the Doona on beds could have been bigger
• Katie (10/5): Cosy vibes with beach views and local produce on your doorstep - Absolutely loved our stay - beautiful views of the ocean, cosy rooms and the most incredible garden. Our dog loved exploring the full fenced yards. Loved unwinding with a bath and a book by the electric fireplace. Great deck with loads of sun and deck chairs. Beach is just a short drive away, as well as a local reserve and Red Hill’s plentiful cafes, produce stores and cellar doors.
• Robyn (10/5): Magnificent Mini Mansion - The layout, views, gardens, beds were so comfy! We loved everything about this magnificent mini mansion and highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience a little slice of heaven! There wasn't a thing my family and I didn't have less than love for within this property!
• Angela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joss (9/5): Superb - I loved the comfortable beds & lovely quiet atmosphere… views of the bay & gardens also 😊
• Jane (10/5): I need more special family occasions to stay here again! - Extraordinary, almost palatial. Every comfort and requirement for 6 adults and one small dog! Stunning views Nothing
• Peter (9/5): Terrific will book again -
• Aoife (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amelia (10/5): Must visit for a relaxing weekend away! - We had the most wonderful stay with our friends visiting from the UK and their baby. Sam went above and beyond with nice touches, including sending thorough instructions and setting up a baby bed and bath. Somehow, the images don’t do the property justice. It was even more beautiful in real life and the nature and wildlife is beautiful. The house has everything you need and is such a great location. Highly recommend for those visiting or just need a relaxing weekend away all year round! Everything was perfect!
• Sharon (10/5): Fantastic experience for family stay - Very cozy and beautiful interior, host is very responsive Location and interior is superb
• Jamie (10/5): Absolutely perfect home away from home! - The property was absolutely amazing, it had everything you needed for a little get away! Was perfect! The owners were good communicators which made everything absolutely easy!
• Carolyn (9/5): The house was amazing. Spacious and beautifully presented with great outdoor spaces -
• Kayla (10/5): We loved our stay in this wonderful property!! The rooms were super spacious, clean and comfortable. Beautifully decorat - We loved the wonderful outdoor spaces and beautiful greenery. Having a variety of milk alternatives was also wonderful! Check in was seamless. Everything was great!
• Barbara (10/5): Fabulous house in an excellent location with everything you need for a get away. - This house was spectacular. Think more than home from home - more like what you would like your home to be! We really loved the separate living spaces, the spacious kitchen, the balcony and the outdoor eating area. The visiting birds were a bonus too! Nothing it was exceptional
• Deborah (9/5): Great house, well presented, comfortable, beautiful gardens. - Spacious, well appointed. The host included thoughtful touches such as having the Airconditioning on for us before our arrival on a hot day. A few minor repairs needed to be done. The security camera on the deck was a bit off putting.
• Elissa (10/5): Perfect weekend stay for our family of 5 adults and baby while we attended a wedding nearby. Wish we had longer to stay - We loved the location of this home backing on to the parkland and with its expansive beautiful garden and fantastic view of the bay. The house was very spacious and kitchen extremely well equipped. No
• Bella (10/5): A gem in Dromana - Clean, bright, well considered spaces. I loved sitting by the window and reading whilst I listened to pobble bonks and bronze wings croaking and hooting. Enough space to spread out and relax between 3 couples, who really needed some R&R. Sam, our host, was attentive, kind, thorough, and thankful. The kitchen we loved! That oven! We cooked up some feasts, and the kitchen has all the essentials and more. I hope to come back with warmer weather and enjoy the outdoor amenities.
• Kevin (8/5): Very good -
• James (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sheryl (9/5): Peaceful - The serenity. The birds, location & the view.
• Andrew (8/5): Very good -
• Alpa (10/5): A little haven in nature with fantastic views of the bay - Little surprises...nice scent, lovely calming books, simple but elegant furnishing, lovely earthy colour combinations, nice views, house sat in nature and was tranquil and it was nice to see sunrise over the bay. I liked the fact the house sat on a hill. The rooms were nice. Big kitchen and it was fully equipped. Laundry was fully equipped. The two decks were nicely furnished as well. It was pet friendly, but we didn't have a pet with us. Parking was easy. The gardens were pretty with lovely flowers. Not much to say here. We followed owners' instruction for the coffee machine, but it still didn't work. At the end we informed her about it and she was very apologetic. No big deal! I am sure by now she has already replaced it with a new one! :-)
• Sue (10/5): Exceptional - N/A
• John (8/5): very relaxing - It was well appointed &the garden &bird life,the view & the central location to travel the Pennisula. The WIFI internet was unavailable after Monday night so we had to use our personal hotspot on our phones to our ipads & laptops, no internet to tv. our friends thought a Queen size bed would have been nice.
• Debbie (10/5): Exceptional - It was simply amazing. Great space, views and perfect Nothing
• Jasmine (8/5): Family getaway - The accommodation was beautiful and comfortable. The backyard was nice to take a walk in and it was close to everything. There were no small waste baskets in the bathrooms and no alternative coffee options for those who didn't know how to use a coffee machine.
• Mckee (10/5): Super Comfortable witheverything we needed. - Beautiful home, immaculately appointed with everything we needed for a wonderful stay.
• Stephen (8/5): great stay would go again 😁 - view’s kitchen internet really slow. the key lock box on the door handle was annoying and hard to open an close the door.
• Michelle (10/5): Peace privacy and tranquillity - Absolutely stunning house with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful furnishings, private, peaceful and secure. One of only a few properties with undercover parking. Sam was also amazing allowing an early check in. I hardly left the property during my stay. Will book again it's my special place now. Thank you Sam for a wonderful getaway ❤️ Nothing
• Christopher (9/5): Perfect little stop-over spot in the Mornington Penninsula - modern styling and super comfy bedding - Stunning property (and ocean view), modern finishes and super comfy bedding N/A
• Ting (10/5): We had an amazing time, thanks Sam! -
• Miyoko (9/5): Highly recommended! I would love to come back again for longer stay next time. Thanl you. - It was stunning! The house decorated beautifully with beach vibe and all interiors were very nice. It’s actually much nicer than the photos on the listing so it was a great surprise! Beds are so comfortable. Master bedroom has a stunning ocean view which was so beautiful. Location is great so close to Arthur’s Eagle and beach in Dromana. The instruction and manual were written in the email. It would be nicer to present in pdf with the proper instruction style. Wifi password and instructions were not sent till I requested. It would be nice to leave the house manual in the house including wifi details too. Also the instructions how to find the house and key should be sent 2 days prior to the trip. It’s hard to find the time to read long instructions one day prior to the trip as people are so busy packing for the trip. Otherwise owner was so kind and helpful.
• Katy (10/5): most amazing stay on the peninsula - the amazing wall to ceiling views, comfortable beds, the view, everything was fantastic nothing
