It was our family's first trip to Melbourne and we wanted to try a holiday out of the usual city buzz. And we found Gemma's beautiful listing on Airbnb and decided - why not Mornington. It was indeed a very beautiful classy home, tastefully decorated with many lovely touches - it was not just a holiday home for tourists or random people, it felt like Gemma invited me to her very own home. Very lovely.
The cottage was a short drive away from supermarkets and amenities. We enjoyed the short drives to the beaches and also to Sorrento - where we took the Searoad ferries for a trip on the Great Ocean drive.
We had quite many home cooked meals during our stay. It was unexpectedly cold for us, since its our first time in Melbourne. But Gemma's cottage has a very lovely fireplace - with firewood stocked up; heaters in our rooms to make us feel all cosy and wonderful.
Most unforgettably, after I checked out and upon reaching the airport - i realised I left my laptop in the house. Thankfully, Gemma and Brent was very quick in responding and helping me with getting my laptop back. I could never thank Gemma and Brent enough!! I would highly recommend the stay at their beautiful home and also highly recommend these wonderful hosts! <3
