We enjoyed a lovely little break on the Bellarine Peninsula. So very clean and tidy. Plenty of room for the family. Thanks to the hosts for the welcoming bottle of local wine. A great home base for us to explore the area from. Quiet area at the back of St.Leonards.

This property was great for our family and 4 legged family member also. We used it as our base while visiting the Bellarine. Very clean, comfortable and lots of space. Photos are very accurate. Only a 10-15 minute walk down to the water. Would stay again.
