We had a really wonderful stay at Monique’s place. The house is perfect for a getaway from Melbourne and although not on the beach, is a short distance to the Blairgowrie shops and the bay beach, the costal beach and is midway between Sorrento’s upmarket shopping strip and Rye.
When you arrive, there is easy undercover parking for two cars and the place is gated for privacy although it is a manual gate. The gardens both front and back were freshly mowed and well presented and secure enough for our dog to wander around safely. She even found a little friend next door who she loved to kiss through the fence.
Inside the place was immaculately clean. You might want to claim the master bedroom at the back of the house as it has a beautifully renovated ensuite, tastefully done with a fantastic shower. Even the little shampoo/conditioner and body wash bottles that Monique provides, made you feel like you were in a hotel resort. The other bedrooms were clean and bright and all the mattresses super comfortable, dressed with Sheridan sheets. The bathroom towels were also Sheridan, fluffy and white.
The TV room at the back was great for movies or playing a board game away from the activities in the kitchen.
At the front of the house, the kitchen had everything you would need and all the plates and cutlery were new and clean. We actually just enjoyed sitting in the small front sitting area which looks out to the garden, to read a book.
There was a little road noise but it never bothered us and the house doesn’t have wifi but you probably should be at the beach rather the surfing the net. So would we recommend it, absolutely! It was just a happy place and that’s the whole purpose of getting away for a holiday.
