About this property
Shoreline Hideaway - Hidden Hideaway close to the beach
Special Offer:
Book and Pay for a minimum of 2 nights (Fri and Sat) between May 1st and November 30th (excluding public holidays and school holidays) and we can add in a Sunday night for free*.
*to claim your night simply book & pay for your two nights (Fri and Sat) via Stayz and send us a message and ask us to add in the Sunday. We will add in the Sunday, subject to availability. The offer is not available if any of the dates chosen fall into a public holiday or Victorian School Holidays.
we love this because..
we are always looking for a cute little cottage/studio that we can get away to as a couple with our doggie in tow.
But we have also stayed here with two kids who slept on the sofa bed. its the perfect spot as it is right on the beach.
We walk across the road to the white Sandy beaches of Capel Sound and spend all our summer days swimming and sunbaking.
If we are feeling energetic we take the Bay Trail walk in either direction and end up at either Rye or Rosebud. In the summer the funfair is on to entertain the kids in one location and the circus in the other. Perfect.
Our favourite spot for coffee and breakfast is only a 7-minute walk away at The Kitchen and for something special we always choose Veraison Restaurant which is only a 5-minute walk.
At Capel Sound, you will find a host of cafes including Unica Cucina E Caffe which is our recommendation.
The Hideaway has a shared driveway with Shoreline the double-storey townhouse at the front of the block that can be booked together as Shoreline+Hideaway.

What fun! a new house to visit that lets four-legged friends like me sleep inside.
Yay! a garden with tall fences to keep me safe. I love walking to the beach where I can go swimming in the ocean with all the other doggies (but only at certain times of the year).
And there's a special basket just for me. No way! What's in there? Ooh, ooh! a treat from PAWDINKUM. I LOVE THIS PLACE.
