AMAZING all round

The place was amazing for what we wanted, a nice place to stay on the back beach coast. The pool and spa is done to perfection and the bbq is unbeatable. Inside is not huge but super well laid out so works perfectly. Extremely well equipped, from kitchen to kids games/tv's and even the fire place was superb. Located right near the back beach for hikes and getting the toes wet. Would return in a heartbeat. The pics of the pool do not do it justice.

Amazing Peninsula Summer Holiday

I stayed at "Rockpools" for a week in Jan with my family (2 adults, 3 children) and we had a fantastic time. We spent a good amount of time at the house over the week (partially due to Covid), however it is practically a resort with an awesome pool and spa which my children loved using a lot. Everything was freshly cleaned, ample bedding, excellent bathroom, heaps of kitchen facilities and a good outdoor BBQ and dinning area. The place is walking distance to Bridgewater back beach and the Coastal Trail, and a very short drive to the Blairgowrie front beach and shops. Thanks Emma for such a fantastic time, and we hope to be back again in future!

Perfect winter getaway to recharge and enjoy the beautiful Mornington Peninsula

Great location, lovely host, house had everything we needed. Loved the many cheese platters which were used well by us with a glass of wine and the open fire roaring in the evenings. Special thanks to Emma for organising the safe return of our daughters year 12 Biology folder notes which were accidentally left on the dining chair! 😅

Warm and Cosy Getaway

We just spent a lovely couple of days at "Rockpools". The little house which is short walk to Blairgowrie backbeach is in a lovely quiet area and nestled amongst tea-trees. The house is super well equipped, has a lovely fireplace, comfy couches and outside is a lovely area to sit and have lunch/dinner in the afternoon sun. The owner, Emma was most helpful and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house & location

Great house in close proximity to the beautiful coastal walk. The only thing that let the house down was the cleaning, however the owner was apologetic and proactive in responding to the issue. Overall, we had a good stay.

Cosy and comfortable

We stayed at the rock pools with my two teenage girls and an infant and it was definitely comfortable and cosy. Unfortunately it rained for two days at the start of our holiday and was a bit chilly at night but air con worked perfectly and warmed up the house quickly. Overall we had a great stay.

Perfect for a young family

This place was the perfect size for our young family of 4. It was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Emma was a very good host and kept in contact with us during our stay. We even forgot to pack some of our things when we checked out and she was kind enough top drop them off at our home. Excellent service!

Rockpools Blairgowrie

Rockpools was a comfortable, well set up house. The kitchen was easy to use and enabled me to entertain my son and his partner with dinner and drinks, on our Saturday evening. The rooms were comfortable and we enjoyed staying at the house. We also enjoyed the easy walk to the back beach, and the close shops at the Blairgowrie shopping centre. Very pleasant.

Peaceful position

We were really impressed with the position and convenience of the property. Felt like we were surrounded by bush and birds. The house had everything we needed (including a well stocked kitchen and a dishwasher and coffee machine) with the lovely bonus of Telstra internet and TV streaming accounts for relaxing evening viewing. Spacious rooms and a really lovely lounge and kitchen area.
