Private Home in Mornington peninsula
Responsive and responsible hosts.
We loved the fact that your property was close to the beach, but we didn't enjoy the beach much since it's winter. We also enjoyed the fact its a close drive to downtown sorrento. However this property is further away from the main winery areas if the intention of the stay is to enjoy more wineries.
Nice view from main living area, but is a more distant horizon view, not spectacular beach front view. high enough to overlook rooftops and trees.
Hosts are accomodating towards our pets.
This property was roomy enough for our 2 families, though as an honest feedback, we felt it was a difficult property for us to enjoy completely due to:
1. driveway entry is very steep and narrow, and difficult and slightly dangerous for 2WD vehicles to go up and down , especially when the winter with the moisture in the air and rain.
if you park the car at the bottom of the hill, Walking up and down the driveway to enter the house is already an exercise in itself for some.
2. Once you enter the house, the exercise doesnt stop,
the fact the entry to get to the main living room areas and 2 bedrooms has to be reached via steep and narrow stair case again, made it difficult for all of us.
in order to get to the main living area, there is one long flight of narrow staircase split in 2.
making it very difficult to bring up heavy items and luggages , so you would need to keep heavy things downstairs.
so if you have big luggages or are not very fit, this can be a serious design attribute of the house to take into consideration.
1 main bedroom downstairs with 5 bunkbed is a good solution for kids , Also felt the bathroom downstairs was small and cold during the winter.
also the upstairs bathroom and toilet are separated and depends on preference if you prefer toilet to be in one bathroom or seperated. For us , it was not convenient and not preferred . we enjoyed the little heater in the main upstairs shower area.
there's a lot of outdoor patio areas that we felt are nice features for the summer and for privacy for some users, however we did not utilize those areas much and felt it was underutilized space in the design of the home. the patios didn't have spectacular views nor were they large enough to do anything other than seat 2 lounge chairs.
We very much enjoyed the bluetooth speakers , the vinyl player and vinyls available , tv was sufficient. kitchen wares and area was not very big but was sufficient and had enough glassware and plateware, and the acoustics of the main living room was nice.
We enjoyed our stay overall, but would definitely consider another property to try something different if we were to return to the peninsula.
