Really enjoyed our stay, property was well equipped and within walking distance to town centre. Host was great - flexible with with check in/check out time. Highly recommend!
3rd stay at this property. It’s fantastic and has everything you need. Love the property, location and the heated pool and spa, plus Kerrie is the best host I’ve ever dealt with which makes things stress-free and easy.
A stunning property, which was ideal for a family birthday celebration. Beautifully designed building with an excellent swimming pool and other top quality facilities. Great location in Sorrento. Simply outstanding.
The house is lovely and close to Sorrento. It is so well stocked with crockery and utensils. We loved having a large dining table that fit everyone. The chickens were cute and their eggs delicious. The beds were comfortable and it was a perfect choice for a large group of friends.
Beautifully decorated home with stunning architecture. Very well supplied kitchen. Lovely linen. Excellent array of rooms and beds enabling a fantastic girl's weekend away. Fabulous locality to main shopping strip, excellent walks and beach.
What a stay! Hubby & I had 6 wonderful nights with Mum, our adult children & all of our grandchildren. The property was perfect!
The level of detail & conveniences provided made our stay very comfortable. The pool & trampoline provided endless entertainment, the location meant we could walk to the park, beach, shops, restaurants, etc.
Memories from this trip will last a lifetime.
Three generations gathered to celebrate my mum’s 85th birthday and we had a fabulous time. The house is brilliantly located and has everything you could possibly want. The younger generation loved the trampoline and braved the pool while some of the older generation soaked in the spa, which was great on a cold autumn day. Family dinners were cooked in the gourmet kitchen and we all gathered in the evenings playing board games which was hilarious. Thanks for a wonderful weekend, we’ll definitely be back.
We had a wonderful time in Sorrento. The home was absolutely perfect and Kerrie was a fantastic host. We hope to stay there again one day soon. Thank you so very much.

Thanks Nick, The property has two brand new hot water systems, one of which is dedicated to the master bedroom and powder room. I wish you had let me know so that I could have sorted this out for you. I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
Excellent accomodation, very comfortable with beautiful pool and surrounds. Absolutely fully equiped kitchen, loved the chickens and eggs for breakfast. Fun on the trampoline.
We all thought it was a great house for a large family, beach and shops within easy walking distance.
A most enjoyable weekend for everyone.
Thank you Kerrie. Would definitely come again if and when possible.
Regards Ann
The house worked brilliantly for our family gathering, especially for active children. In ground trampoline, attic bedroom, toasting marshmallows on the fire pit, beach, park and shops…all within walking distance from the house. Our grandchildren didn’t want to leave. Free to air TV didn’t work (thanks to aerial damage from crows!) but that was our only glitch. We would definitely stay there again.
This property is just perfect. So beautiful & clean. Had everything we needed.
There was 12 of us and the house accommodated us perfectly with enough bathrooms etc.
Kerrie the owner was fantastic to deal with and everything just went so smoothly.
Can’t wait to go back.
Would highly rate this property.
This was the best house for everything that I’ve ever stayed in.
This home was perfect for a weekend away with a group of friends. It was immaculately clean and filled with every amenity you could need. Fantastic location, easy walking distance to the Sorrento hotel, main shops and front beach. Kerrie was a wonderful host, very communicative and made the check in and check out incredibly easy. Would love to come back and stay again.
We were very impressed. Fitted our large group very comfortably. This property is with in walking distance to everything which made our stay very comfortable and relaxing. The pool facilities are top notch. We will be back! Thank-you
My friends and I stayed here last year, and returned again this year. We love the location, and the house has everything we need. As an added bonus this year the house was freshly painted, carpeted and has lovely new furnishings. Thanks again Kerrie!
Had a few issues logging into Stayz website, so contacted owner by mobile phone text message.

About the host
Hosted by Kerrie Rooke
We are a family of four, originally from out of state, who have made Melbourne our new home.
Why they chose this property
After extensive travel throughout the Mornington Peninsula we decided to purchase our holiday house in Sorrento for the wonderful beaches, restaurants and easy access to wineries and galleries on the Peninsula.
What makes this property unique
We selected this house because we love the Hampton Style of house and the proximity to the main part of town (600m), the Sorrento Pub (500m) and the beaches.
We also love the gas heated pool and we swim all year round!
