Enjoyed our stay. The house is comfortable and well positioned for a visit to the Bellarine wine region. Two big living areas with a central kitchen. The back yard area looks like it would be pleasant in the warmer months but there are some stairs to navigate to the get the upper grassed area. The hosts obviously like dogs, so cater for them as well as their human companions.

The house was spacious with two separated family areas both with tv. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was well equipped. It was close to the golf club house and water. An ideal location for the area. It ticked all our accommodation boxes. A wonderful place for mixed generation guests.

Fantastic stay

We stayed here for a wedding at the nearby Jack Rabbit winery and it was absolutely perfect. We were a group of 6 adults and the house is big enough that we weren’t tripping over each other and it’s pet friendly. Very clean and in a quiet location. The communication with the host was excellent. Thanks Jay for a wonderful weekend away at your property and I’m sure we’ll stay there again to explore more of the area.
