This studio apartment is such a lovely space, set up well with everything you need for a comfortable stay including an oven, microwave, fridge, stovetop etc. I felt right at home from the beginning thanks to Bronwyn's personal touches in the apartment (thanks for the chocolates!). The apartment is huge and the bed was very comfortable and had quality, clean linen on it. The view of the back beaches from the expansive balcony and the sound of the waves were my favourite part of my stay. Whilst it was very hot during my visit to the Mornington Peninsula (40 degrees), the apartment was kept cool and comfortable thanks to the sea breeze and the fan provided, I did not need to use the cooler at all. The apartment is located closer to Blairgowrie than Rye so it is a lovely walk along the beach or the boardwalk to the Blairgowrie shops (a good 15-20 minute walk), where there is an IGA and a handful of other shops plus some good eateries including a cafe, a pizza restuarant and a fish and chip shop. If you prefer to go to Rye or Sorrento, it is a very short drive and both towns have everything you would need. To walk to the closest front beach from the apartment is about 5 minutes, and it is a lovely peaceful beach. Parking at the apartment is safe and secure however the driveway is very steep, which Bronwyn is very clear about in her description of the apartment, so it is not suitable for low cars. There is space to park on the street and you can walk up the shared driveway next door. I'd highly recommend for a relaxing and peaceful getaway!
