Really great location- you can drive down to Mount Martha beach in 1-2 minutes and the shops are a 5 minute drive away-I expect you could typically walk to the beach across the road however the walking trails were unfortunately blocked off by trees that had fallen down during my stay. The house is beautiful! Heating/cooling is available in pretty much all of the rooms and the outside seating area is lovely. There is a hairdryer available which isn't listed on the house ammenities, but you will need to bring your own shampoo/conditioner/body wash. Expect to do a small grocery shop for small things like tea/coffee/sugar, but overall a really good experience :)
