Very Enjoyable Stay

The house is spotlessly clean and is even more impressive than shown in the listing. The owner quickly responded to some checking-in problems and then dropped by to ensure we were settling in OK. Great neighbourhood and the house is surrounded by beautiful gardens.

Best Villa in the Mornington

My friends and I couldn’t believe how beautiful and well kept is this villa. Sam thought about every little detail to make us feel welcome and having a great stay, even if it was only for one night. We gather Ed with friends and had a dinner in that beautiful kitchen, was just the perfect spot. If you are looking to stay in the Mornington, that’s the place to be.

Our recent stay at this property was above and beyond our expectations.

This property was a delight to stay at. It has a clean coastal style and the host has created a welcoming vibe with hammocks, coffee machine and cosy furnishings. The view was stunning, especially at night with all the lights around the coast. The properties garden was exceptional, my favourite plant being the fully fruited avocado tree. It is a gardeners paradise. We will definitely stay here again on our next stay on the Penisula.
