Rye is a lovely little strip of shops, jetty and beach and the house is very conveniently located, just a few minutes walk away. Rye is a great location - easy access to all the attractions of the peninsula. The house is a couple of of houses away from the main esplanade, which has continuous traffic noise that can be heard pretty loudly when sitting on the deck. The house is set back from the road and has a lovely garden with mature trees, giving a sense of privacy. The house is old, but quaint and clean. Its age means that there is no insulation or sound proofing. The living room is nice and warm because it has a fire place and reverse cycle air conditioner but the floors and rest of the house were glacial (we were there in mid-winter with miserable weather - it would be fine at other times). The neighbours had loud parties on two nights and the sound carries right through the house. The house itself is well set up - all the basics. The interior is pretty character-less (run by an agency) but there are some kids toys in the room with two single beds. The beds are comfortable, nice warm duvets. Overall, a comfortable, cute house, well located and great for a holiday on the mornington peninsula- though perhaps not in mid-winter.
