Star of Tasman is a hidden gem. Often when you go looking on the Mornington Peninsula you have to sacrifice some of what you want to get other things. In particular for 6-8 guests. This is not the case at Star of Tasman.
The property is well located in a quiet area near the Blairgowrie end of Rye near the back beach. It is far enough from the hustle and bustle to provide a tranquil haven yet there is only a short drive to the Blairgowrie Sorrento or Rye shopping and dining strips, avoiding the heavy traffic of the main highway. This means going out to get supplies is by no means a pain.
Access to Red Hill wineries and the golf courses is also very easy and close.
The property gives you an instant feel of luxury and privacy even as you pull up out the front. The instructions for entry are very easy to follow too.
It may seem small but it's awesome that there is parking for multiple vehicles off the street so you never have to worry about where to start. This is so often not the case when you stay in a group accommodation setting.
If cleanliness is high on your list of priorities then this is the place for you. We are very picky and could not fault the hosts. The beds are really comfortable and the fact that there are three seperate bathrooms and toilets makes the property perfect for groups of couples or a large family gathering.
The kitchen is lovely and spacious, the gas stove and oven is awesome and the cupboards and drawers are well equipped with everything you will need. Importantly the kitchen and everything in it looks new or near new. You can definately cook up a feast here and aren't locked in to going out every night.
There is a top line BBQ on mains gas as well which was awesome to cook on and was easy to use and still be close to the action. Especially when the doors to the undercover out door area are all opened up. The lounge flows straight out to this area making it seem like one huge space. Dining tables inside and out give the space extra flexibility.
The gardens are so well manicured and the lighting in the backyard for the Moonah trees really makes the place look 5 star. Perfect to sit out there and enjoy with a glass of wine or two.
The audio visual setup and TVs are all very new. The instructions provided are also very easy to follow. There is even a cinema room!
Overall I think the owners have done very well in providing a luxurious and stylish hide away. Can definately recommend !
