We stayed at Christina's place for a weekend and really enjoyed the house - the view that opens up when you walk the stairs up is incredible. Mornington got this nice blue hue of water that's comparable to the best places in Europe and Asia. The house is big and comfortable with heating making it warm quickly on cold days. The fireplace is bigger than average and makes the living room very cosy in the evening. When you cook meals, you look at the ocean which is great ;) The house is only 1.5km away from the cafe strip but you have to drive because the road is too narrow and there is no pedestrian path
