We enjoyed a peaceful night in the lovely king sized bed at Helen's after a warm and friendly welcome. A stay here is private and combines good hospitality with thoughtful touches.
The room is as described and we liked its light filled, cosy, stylish feel. There's a spacious bathroom, as well as a large walk- in wardrobe which also houses the small fridge, microwave and tea & coffee making items. A small table for eating and working is provided along with wifi. As others have mentioned the TV is huge!
Parking is in the driveway. Entry is separate from the main home, accessed from a side gate. You will have a small courtyard, fenced for privacy and decorated with flowering plants where you can sit and enjoy takeaway meals or the delicious cooked breakfast made to order.
The larger garden area is very pretty and if you're a dog lover, spend some time playing with the resident dogs on the upper lawn. If you're not dog friendly, they do have their own separate area and the hosts will keep them away.
You'll find the home in a quiet, private cul de sac, tucked in from the main road. Conveniently it's a short drive to Portarlington town centre for the Melbourne ferry, dining and the swimming beach. Bring a beach towel if you're planning on enjoying the water.
Ideal for a short stay or touring the region, The Rose of Tralee BnB is just ten minutes from the larger town of Drysdale and six minutes to some of the best wineries in the area, such as Jack Rabbit vineyard and a gin distillery with bar and pizza menu.
