Lovely room in big house with shared spaces. Michael was a great host, very easy to communicate with and was welcoming and understanding when we arrived late. Loved the layout and design of the house, I can see it being easy to share with others. I will say the Wotif ad was a little confusing, saying things like "this room has a private patio/balcony" which is untrue, but the shared outdoor space was lovely.

Ok. So it's not a hotel. Duh. While a little cute the description is accurate. It's a bedroom in a shared home with a shared bathroom. It's very good at that. Good sized room. Comfy big bed. TV. Access to modern kitchen and deck. Spa. Nice dog. Nice people. At the price it delivers above it's type.

I was not expecting this to be somebody’s actual home in which they let out individual rooms to guests. Because of this it felt quite strange and weird as if you were invading their personal space.

We arrived at the property expecting a house to share with other travellers and own area. Instead it was someones home. We felt like intruders, were never shown any amenities apart the bathroom to share with everyone else. We were not given any password to internet facilities or shown where we could even make a coffee. The bed was comfortable and the room clean

Location:It is just within 30m from a bus stop that one can easily take a bus to Frankston direction or Dromana Beach. Good for traveller without a car. Besides, it is quite near to the Red Hill region where can find a lot of vineyards. Visit vineyards is a must do activity in Mornington Peninsula. Can bike to there or call cab. Cleaniness: it is very clean, no matter the room, toilet or kitchen area... Also the house is well decorated, full of well chosen fragrant, very pleasure! Spacious: the room is big & comfortable. Guest can use the open kitchen, oven, kettle, fridge etc.. in gist self making simple meal is possible. It also has a big garden with hot tub pool provided. Surprising really! In conclusion, every thing is too good and happy. Worth to try!
