Highly recommend Up @ the Hill in Portalington. The stay has been very memorable, and Katrina has been a very friendly host who has been very helpful and easy to contact. The beach house itself is very clean, spacious, and within driving distance to pretty much everything on The Bellarine Peninsula. The guidebook provides us with a lot of places to see and do, with the Rock Lookout and PikNik as our sentimental favorites. We love the fact that all linens and towels are provided - we didnt expect high end ones BUT everything there is high quality and very comfortable! My kids looovveee their beddings, the foxtel, the biiig backyard, and looking at the sea from front porch. They love being here so much that they made me promise that we would one day come back here :p
I cant thank her enough for letting us (2 adults and 3 messy kids) stay there, esp with the very last minute Booking!
You can have all the above without having to dig a hole in your wallet - what more could you ask for?! :)
If you ever need a place around this area, I would highly recommend Katrina's place :)
