The house is literally across the road from the stairs down to Birdrock Beach - a beautiful, quiet, clear-water cove in Mount Martha. You can’t really see the water from the house and the Esplanade road in front of the house is very busy (beware for dogs and kids) but the house itself is quite lovely - shabby/dated, but extremely comfortable. The gardens are lovely and well-tended, and the kitchen is well-stocked, proper cooking can be done. A beautiful breeze blows through the upstairs rooms in the evening. Just a note - the air conditioning is in the upstairs lounge area only.
