• James (1/5): One of the worst stays we have experienced - The owner of this property made it a very unpleasant stay and also very scary. Two woman stayed at the property and on two different occasion two different men came into the house while we were sitting there, at one point of of the men started using the kitchen while we were sitting there. We would leave a wine glass on the table and by the time we got back the glass was in the sink, the owner told us from the start not to go upstairs where it’s blocked off but they did not respect our privacy and continued to come into the house. It was so scary for us and we had no idea what to do. It felt like we were being watched every time we came and let true house
• adriana (10/5): -
• Heather (10/5): My happy place - I liked everything about it ,location perfect, accommodation very clean and perfect, the bed so so comfy. The hosts were so helpful. 10 out of 10
• Deanne (10/5): -
• Leonora (10/5): Lovely stay - Everything about our stay was beautiful, every little detail taken care of including welcome pack and wine. The home and furnishings are beautiful quality and the bed very comfy. The hosts are obviously passionate about having guests and make you very welcome. It is worth noting that the hosts do live in the home ( but stay upstairs during hosting) so it was confusing to see all their food is in the fridge and pantry and they did surprise us when they appeared in the lounge when they returned home. Slightly awkward, I guess I assumed they had a separate entry. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our stay.
• Alison (8/5): Very good -
• Elaine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Valentina (10/5): Exceptional - The House is amazing, very comfortable, cleaning and the smell was fantastic. Super tidy and they thinking about every small things like the essential in the bathroom if you don’t have. Trudy and Salvatore are really kinder person .
• Kirsti (10/5): Balcombe retreat was perfect! Great location, very clean, cosy bedroom. - Balcombe retreat was perfect! Great location, very clean, cosy bedroom. The place had everything we needed and the hosts have added a lot of extra little details - things you forget when you’re packing. Trudy and Sam are great hosts. My partner and I got engaged during our stay and they even arranged a special breakfast for us - amazing!

• Michael (7/5): Good -
• Mayzie2 (9/5): Superb -
• Borda (10/5): Absolutely perfect Getaway, we came away refreshed and relaxed. - Absolutely perfect getaway 11/10 stars, we left feeling refreshed and relaxed. We slept like logs in the comfy queen bed (even afternoon naps) as it was so quiet too. Loved the luxury bath robes, slippers, soft push towels and bath salts. Stunning home, spacious with a gorgeous covered outdoor deck and the best well-equipped we've stayed at ever. 5-star hotel touches but at an amazing affordable price and with lovely warm hospitality from Trudy and Sam. Thank you for the welcome white wine and authentic Italian pasta ingredients to enjoy a meal. We'll be back again :) Can't think of anything
• Olivia (10/5): I had an amazing experience at Balcombe Retreat Mornington! - The personal touches from Trudy really made my stay special, from the warm welcome to the thoughtful supplies. The property was spotless and well-maintained. I appreciated the homely atmosphere. It's always a nice surprise when the little things make a big difference in a stay. I will definitely you be returning for another visit soon.
• Karishma (10/5): Highly Recommend! - I booked Balcombe Retreat for a solo beach trip after reading all the great reviews and it was perfect! Great value, located in the heart of Mornington, you get access to the entire bottom floor – not to mention the house is immaculate, designed beautifully and stocked with everything you could possibly need. Trudy and Sam are lovely hosts. They are available if you need anything and are very generous too. Highly recommend!
• Linda (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful, over the top Hosts!
• Angela (9/5): Comfortable and conveniently located - A comfortable, conveniently located stay with attentive and generous hosts. I appreciated the ingredients to make a pasta meal on the first night. Thank you for hosting me!
• Per (10/5): Balcombe Retreat with Trudy and Sam and meeting my old friends made it my best holiday ever. - I enjoyed the many breakfast options in the large and very organised kitchen. The location is lovely and only 13 minute walk to the Main Street and even less to the beaches. I had the same luxury feeling at Balcombe Retreat as at the 5 star hotel in Bahrain a few years ago. Trudy and Sam also helped me with anything and everything I asked them about and needed done! There was absolutely nothing I did not like!
• Simnryt (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful light and bright space
• Susan (10/5): Highlight of our 2 week road trip. - Great hosts and facilities made it a home away from home. We especially liked all the little extras, such as candles and wine on arrival. Trudy & Sam were excellent hosts, and provided usefu tourist tips.
• Briana (10/5): Had the best time . Thanks so much guys . - You have everything you Need ! You only need to bring your clothes . The hosts are amazing !! Nothing
• Aoife (10/5): Wonderful, relaxing stay with friendly hosts - I had a wonderful short stay with Trudy and Sam. The bedroom & bathroom were very clean, comfortable and modern, and I also had access to the large kitchen, dining & lounge area. It was so much more than just accomodation - they were so thoughtful and really went the extra mile. I was given a bottle of champagne and snacks on arrival, a breakfast of cereal, toast, tea & coffee, and even ingredients to make a pasta dinner that evening. So thoughtful! They also provided lots of information about the local area, including a walk around the neighbourhood and to the beach. I was delighted with my experience and hope to visit again in the future.
• Amanda (10/5): Accomodating and great value for money - My parents were greeted and shown where everything is. They provided all the necessary amenities and even included ingredients to make pasta. The stay is amazing value for money as you had access to majority of the house and given everything you needed to have a nice comfortable stay. House was very clean and comfortable Nothing, the house was impeccable
• Darren (10/5): The Perfect Bed And Breakfast. - Fantastic experience. Extremely clean and well maintained. Excellent host who provided everything for the perfect stay. I would highly recommend it. The location is perfect and everything is easily accessible. Thank you.
• Lucy (9/5): Superb -
• Liam (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful room and friendly people. Location was excellent!
• Fraser (10/5): Amazing stay - Beautiful house, hosts were amazing - food, drinks and milk etc all there for us on arrival. Could not have been more welcoming. Nothing - all great. Don't worry about being a little out of town. It's so quiet and an Uber into town is cheap and quick or you can walk if you are feeling like a 30 min stroll.
• Sandra (10/5): Perfect place for rest & relaxation - Thank you for a great stay. Very accommodating hosts with my night shifts. Did everything to make sure I could sleep well during the day. Great attention to detail. My hosts Trudy and Sam also let me know of an event in town & nice local cafe and were very willing to fit in with my dietary need. Perfect place for rest & relaxation N/A
• Salvatore (10/5): a superb, relaxing, stress free getaway in a beautiful part of the Mornington peninsula - Trudy was very welcoming & had loads of suggestions on what to do on the peninsula. I thought I was booking just the one room & a bathroom but i was also allowed access to most of the bottom level including a large cosy sitting /living area where I was invited to light an open fire and then enjoyed my complimentary bottle of wine & snacks - talk about value for money! A pair of Slippers & use of a luxurious bath robe was another unexpected pleasant surprise, never got that at any other house accommodation I've stayed at! The location was also great, a picturesque 20 min walk to Mornington main street via mornington esplande where you get to see breath-taking views of the bay along the way. i would highly recommend staying at 'Balcombe retreat!'..I'll be going back there for sure!
