The Balnarring / Somers side on the Mornington Peninsula was a bit of a mystery for us as coming from Melbourne, we usually stay on bayside, but we are so glad we decided to stay at this Balnarring home (only about 1 hour from Melbourne) and cannot recommend this home enough. We were totally content and had a wonderful 1 week stay.
The features and amenities of the home are top-class. We used the heated pool, trampoline and BBQ on most days, and with so many of us staying together (7 adults and 3 toddlers) at the one time, we had a selection of no less than 4 screens in different rooms to watch our favourite TV programs. The screen in the TV room must be the biggest I have ever seen! The bathrooms were clean, the linen and towels crisp and fresh, and feedback from everyone was that the beds were very comfortable.
Shops, incredible bakery, restaurants and a kids park (plus skatepark) are all within an easy 5 min walk from the house. Within a 10 min drive, there are so many amazing restaurants, wineries and stores to explore. The beach and general store at Somers was another highlight.
Chantel was an amazing host, very responsive, thoughtful and so helpful. Again, I would highly recommend this staying here.
