This was a holiday destination with all the comforts of home.
The beach is walkable, but a car would be an advantage. It’s about a 30 min drive from the end of the train line at Frankston, although the bus then goes from there all the way to Portsea.
The view from the deck across the bay was very special, and a great spot to congregate but there were several other parts of the house to be in if you needs some “peace & quiet”.
