It was just what we needed. Host and hostess friendly and helpful, the room was extremely clean and tidy, bed comfortable. Milk, bread, three kinds of cereal, home-made biscuits and a fruit bowl waiting for us when we arrived. Surrounded by garden and a short walk to the view of the bay. We enjoyed it very much.

Perfect accomodation for 2
Denise was there to check us in to a great property, that included unexpected niceties such as a fancy loaf of fresh bread, condiments and sweets. Denise explained how to use all appliances in the bungalow and was delightful. Meet Ian on the last day and we enjoyed a nice chat, with both he and Denise being perfect hosts. Bed was comfy, telly was huge, nice couch and dining set up. All the little extras were greatly appreciated and topped off a great experience. Quality beverages, fruit, sweets and spreads (some homemade), to name a few. We recommended the bungalow to friends we caught up with at lunchtime after our first night, so impressed we were less than 24 hours after check in. After 3 nights, our recommendation is stronger. Thanks Denise and Ian!!

Perfect for Bellarine Wineries or Beach
We stayed for one night as a stopover on the way back to Mornington Peninsula and chose the location to be close enough to the golf courses and Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry, which were 20 minutes away. The location was nice and quiet and the bungalow is clean and well presented. We were greeted by the host Ian who helped with our luggage and gave a briefing on the facilities and provided helpful local knowledge on dining options. Denise provides some lovely home-made extras (cookies & jams) and the fridge is stocked with all you need for a light continental breakfast. The bed was very comfortable and the aircon ensured we could keep the summer heat at bay. The need to park on the street (albeit in a small court) was a negative for us, especially as our car was the only one on the in the court. Overall it was a lovely stay and Ian and Denise were friendly and engaging. If we'd realised how close we were to the Bellarine wineries, we might have considered a longer stay
