Home Away From Home

This year our family decided to experience Christmas differently and Ocean Grove was our location of choice. From the moment I sent the initial inquiry to arriving back home the communication from Heidi was exceptional. Walking into the kitchen we were greeted with the most spectacular hamper of local goodies and treats ready to switch into relaxation mode. Our kids, 4 & 7 had everything they needed, each room was set up for them with the most fabulous variety of toys, books, and costumes. Our 4-year-old loved changing between Dorothy, Elsa, Iron Man and so many more. Wandering out the back door onto the deck the fun continues for all ages. While we sat on the outdoor furniture with BBQ and drinks fridge an arms length away, the kids moved between the trampoline, climbing frame, and cubbyhouse. Our Groodle Emmett was also loving life with his daily walk to the local coffee caravan and surrounding streets. Overall the house was clean and tidy, with great appliances, a variety of kitchenware, and lots of space to accommodate us all. Heidi and her family even set up the Chrismas tree for us near the fireplace so Santa could easily find us. This beautiful home is perfect for families who are looking to escape to a beautiful part of the world into a welcoming home away from home. --- The Bellarine Peninsula is fabulous for all. Must Do's Order bread for pickup from Ket Baker *Sour dough specialist. Our faves, Croissants (almond and normal) Fruit and table loaves yum. they also have a little coffee window if you are lucky enough to be there when it's open. Pop over the road to the Wallington Pantry ~ So many yummy local treats Our favorite activities during our visit. Blueberry picking at Tuckleberry Farm Wandering down Hitchcock Avenue in Barwon Heads Dinner at Che Vuoi Beach afternoon at Barwon Heads Visiting the local playground at Kingston Park Gin Tasting at The Whiskery (note this is an Adult and Dog only activity) An afternoon glass of wine at Jack Rabbit Lunch at Pier Street and shell collecting at Portarlington Drive along the coast from Portarlington to Ocean Grove

Great family property

Heidi came to the rescue after another property cancelled last minute. She was an excellent communicator and prepared the house beautifully with a local food hamper to greet us and a selection of toys ready for the kids to play with. The house is very spacious and clean with a great outdoor deck and play area for kids. We were able to walk to a nearby park and the shops and cafes were a short drive away. The kitchen had plenty of utensils etc if you decide to cook. Quiet neighbourhood at nighttime too. Thanks Heidi for all of your efforts to make our Easter holiday memorable.

5 star holiday

We had a wonderful time at Heidi’s property and I would have to say she has been nothing but great from the beginning. She has been so accommodating and helpful the whole time. Heidi is very thorough in her communication and paid attention to our needs as we had younger kids, she thought about entertainment and toys for younger kids. My daughter age 3 has enjoyed herself so much playing in the house that she hardly wants to leave. Heidi has also gone through a lot of trouble to provide us tips on the area and places to eat. I am still thinking of the pork belly I had at Flying Brick Cider. :) The rental itself is very welcoming for our 2 families , total of 10 guests( one toddler). All the rooms are comfortable, clean and neat. The facilities and amenities provided is more than I had seen in other rentals. There are plenty of pantry items which really helped us with meal times. Heidi even went all the way to provide us a welcome hamper which was delightful. The rental has rooms which are very well segregated, there are multiple living areas which serves as play area or quiet time during our stay. The outdoor area is very well lay out and our families enjoyed our meals and coffee watching the kids play on the trampoline and on the outdoor play set. My daughter absolutely enjoyed the little cubby house. I will recommend this place anytime and thanks for making our stay so memorable.

A relaxing family holiday home

Heidi & Tim's home has a nice feel about it. It is spacious, comfortable and well fitted out with mod cons and easily catered for our family of 5 adults and 4 young children for the week after Christmas. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood close enough to town and the beach for a quick car ride or pleasant walk and we were very happy with the location. Heidi is lovely to deal with and made sure our needs were catered for, especially where the children were concerned with plenty of games, toys and outside activities provided. We were welcomed with a generous hamper of local goodies and there were plenty of extra bits & pieces provided in case you were caught short. We were given the local intel on things to do and see and importantly, the best places to eat and drink. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and don’t hesitate to recommend their home to any family looking for a well catered for, relaxing beachside holiday.

Great family getaway

We stayed for 4 nights over the Easter long weekend and had a great relaxing time at Heidi and Tim’s place. It is a large spacious house with plenty of room for 2 families (4 adults and 5 kids). There were toys and games to keep the kids occupied, and the kids retreat with TV and Disney DVDs came in real handy. Us adults were able to relax with drinks on the undercover deck while watching the kids jump on the trampoline. The house itself is well appointed and very comfortable, the hosts went to a lot of effort to make us feel welcome, such as generous hamper with local produce and extra soaps, shampoos & hand towels and even Easter eggs for the kids. It’s located in a lovely quiet street, only a short drive to the beach and shops. We definitely recommend for 2 groups or families with kids looking for a large comfortable house to stay in.

Alojamento gerido por Heidi McKerracher

We are a family of 4 (young kids) who love to holiday ourselves! Gone are the days pre kids when Tim & I travelled the world- & wowee did we visit some amazing places. My family is from England & Ireland so I was lucky to spend many a holiday in Europe. My fav place is Italy & Tim loved Spain. We stay close to home these days & we get to do something we haven’t experienced before- travel around our amazing Victoria in our new caravan (well it’s not so new but it’s out first 1). We want other families to enjoy our home & our amazing backyard of Ocean Grove & all the Bellarine Peninsula has to offer, while we also take a holiday (in our van).
We made a big move while out youngest was just 4 months old & we haven’t looked back. This place is a treasure & we haven’t looked back.
So much we love that is a short drive or walk from home. You’ll have so much to see & do here.

Por que motivo escolheu este alojamento?

We live in a family friendly quiet street with amazing neighbours. Not only are we lucky enough to to live in sought after Old Grove but we bought what we think is the most beautiful house in the street. A double red brick with loads of character.
Our home is perfect for families & great for 2 families. There is a kids wing & a front formal lounge room for the grown ups. The family room at the back has space for 10 at the dining table & plenty of room for the same amount on the big couch while you watch Netflix.
You can also watch the Telly from the back deck setting or listen to some music with the sound bar.
The kids can play in the cubby or jump on the tramp while you enjoy a drink on the deck. You will be greeted by all day sun on the north facing verandah which is perfect for an afternoon relax or a morning coffee.
Plenty of toys & games for the kids as well.

Quais são os elementos especiais deste alojamento?

An open fireplace with wood & kindling supplied in the front formal lounge with 2 gorgeous leather armchairs. Enjoy a book (provided) & snuggle up with a blanket & a cuppa or a drink & a chat in the evening.
