We chose to stay in this property rather than a hotel room as the prices were similar. We were not disappointed! Brian was easy to communicate with and met us on arrival, giving us a quick but informative tour and showing us how the appliances operated. The kitchen is well stocked with all different sorts of tableware, glassware and cutlery as well as some basic cooking supplies such as oil, tea and coffee, sugar and herbs/spices.
The two main bedrooms have comfortable queen beds and there are also bunks as well as a single in the third bedroom if needed. The showers are basic but do the job, and have both good water temperature and pressure. The main living area is well set up with two sofas and a coffee table in close proximity to the TV. Cushions and light throws provide that extra touch. Behind these and also with a direct view of the TV are two single lounge chairs and a small table for light reading. There are large dining tables and chairs both indoor and out. Glass sliding doors open out from the main living area onto a spacious deck, and the yard is well kept with lots of little nautical trinkets throughout. Plenty of room for throwing/kicking a ball around, too. It should be noted that there are many cacti both inside and out, aesthetic to look at for older guests, but families with very young children might like to ask for them to be placed out of reach prior to arriving.
The location could not be more perfect. The property is nestled between the calmer waters of Port Phillip Bay, and the more turbulent Sorrento Back Beach. Koonya General Store is just a few minutes walk away, and has a good variety of basic supplies and a great selection of food for on the go. If you need a supermarket, want to shop/dine out or take advantage of the attractions, there is easy access to most of the main towns on the peninsula within 20 minutes via car. The bus stop for the routes along Point Nepean Rd is also just 10 minutes walk from the property. If you have more time and are steady on your feet, there are lovely scenic tracks along the beaches that will take you on a more picturesque journey into the main towns.
Our stay was relaxing, comfortable and great value, especially given that it came with much more space and privacy than what a hotel would have provided. Brian is a wonderful host who is more than happy to help you out with anything that you might need. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a family-friendly accommodation. Thanks for hosting us, Brian!
