We had a thoroughly enjoyable summer break at Pine Lodge. The deck and the inground trampoline were definitely the highlights. We spent most mornings and evenings on the deck with either a coffee or a wine soaking up the cool air under the tea-trees and watching the wildlife in and around the house (possums, owls, kookaburras & magpies). We also often sat under the tea trees in the back yard to read quietly in the afternoons. We walked most days to either the back beach or the front beach. We often also walked into Blairgowrie for groceries. Koonya and Portsea back beach were our favourite beaches and these were a short drive away. The location was lovely and quiet. The house comfortably fits two families. The deck is an excellent place to share dinner with friends. We had only a few minor issues and Sam and Emily were prompt to assist and resolve. We would definitely recommend and we would definitely stay again.
