Black Rock Gem

Property is a great place for a stay in Bayside area. Well equipped with all the comforts of home. Walking distance to the beach with a great trail for walking or biking. Enjoyed watching the bowls across from the house. Appreciated the entertainment available on the big screen TV, too. Lovely stay!

Cool and classy cottage

Really enjoyed our stay here over New Year’s. Suited our needs perfectly: tucked away on a quiet cul de sac just up the road from Black Rock village and about a 5 minute walk from the local, dog-friendly beaches. Lovely, comfortable, spacious and clean, with an admittedly small but well-fenced back yard, that was perfect for our pups. Jan was super responsive and lovely to deal with - both when booking and on arrival - and the cottage had everything we needed. In short: perfect for a hassle-free holiday.

Sandbelt Central Location for Golfers

Thanks for letting us stay at the Beach Cottage. Situated just a 9 iron or Pitching Wedge from Royal Melbourne Golf Club, this was an ideal base for our 3 man Sandbelt golf tour. Especially appreciated the help offered by Chester the property manager to make our stay so enjoyable. The Thai restaurant at the end of the street is a must visit. Top quality food at good value. We have recommended Beach Cottage to our golfing friends. Thanks again, Jan.

Excellent Dog friendly accommodation

The cottage was perfectly located for me, near beaches and parks, at the end of a cul de sac so very quiet. The cottage was clean, equipped with everything that I needed and of particular importance it had a 100% dog proof garden at the back. I hope to book it next time that I visit Melbourne.

Great house

Just 2 comments. 3rd bedroom too crowded. Double bed should be taken out and if more beds needed another bunk could be put along other wall. Blinds or curtains on back windows would help keep in warmth in the winter. Very well equiped and comfortable house. Proximity of park great for children. My family from Perth really enjoyed their stay and will definitely stay again.

No bikes as advertised. 2 unrideable bikes delivered after a phone call. We had to arrange our own bikes. Owners continually at property which we found totally out of order.Definetly not the accomodation we were expecting.
