Back of the golf course cottage

Come and enjoy a relaxing family stay in the quiet location of St Leonards. Backing onto the St Leonards Golf Course on a quiet cul-de-sac. This place maintains the bush charm of a small two bedroom cottage.

Perfect for a family getaway, it is only 1.2km from the beach and pier. The walk to the beach is easy and flat and the shallow beach is a favourite of parents with young children. Once you return home, there is plenty of space to run around on for the kids, and you will be surprised of the quietness of the location. As the property backs onto the golf course it is only a short stroll to play that round of golf. There is also access to the internet for those who just can't seem to get away from being online.

It is the shortest of short drives to the local IGA and the coffee shop makes a fantastic hot breakfast and coffee. The charm of St Leonards is no better than after a hot breakfast at the coffee shop, and having a stroll along the beach and/or the pier with a coffee in hand.

The house can sleep up to 5 and has 2 bedrooms with bunks and queen beds. One room has been also set up with bunk beds to sleep up to 3 people (Bunk beds with single bed on top, double bed on the bottom and a roll out trundle bed). Some pillows and blankets are available, however you will need to supply your own sheets and towels. If you do feel the cold, it is also recommended to bring down your favourite doona. The Queen size bed is very comfortable and purchased new recently.

The bathroom maintains the charm of the age of the house, with a shower, toilet and sink. It is clean and comfortable and has been previously set up for the mobility impaired with a walk in shower with handles and no obstructions.

The lounge room is all old school charm and the perfect place to relax after a long or even slow day. It opens up to a dining room. A gas heater stands alone providing warmth and the impression of a safe log fire and air conditioner for those really warm days.

The kitchen also maintains the age of the house, and is clean and functional. It has everything the aspiring master chef needs after visiting the surrounding areas gourmet produce. It includes the basics like the fridge, microwave, kettles, toaster etc, but also the coffee machine for that morning cappuccino.

On your way out the back you will find the laundry to wash the towels etc. from a relaxing day at the beach.

Comfortable holiday home in a great location

Only a short visit. A quiet and comfortable holiday house. Great location to the local beach and supermarket for supplies. A good place to use as a base for day trips to Port Phillip Bay or to beaches down the Great Ocean Road.Bring along your own towels, sheets and pillows.

Beautiful holiday cottage

Nice little get away property with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Internet not working as being investigated but owners let us know in advance. Place was clean on arrival and new shower curtain in bathroom. Beautiful and quiet location and not far from town and beach. Take your own sheets/ towels and doonas are supplied. Loved this place and will definitely be back in the future. Had a great weekend away. Lawns were clean and cut and place was neat.

Beautiful beach home hidden gem

This was our 2nd stay and we had such a wonderful time staying in this lovely home. Owner is lovely and very accomodating. Has a well maintained yard perfect for the kids and a sun bake and only 3mins from St Leonard’s pier. The kitchen is wonderful for a nice home cooked meal and plenty of space. Will be back for our 3rd stay before the end of summer. 10/10

Terrible, don’t book!!

On driving into the property the lawns were long. Stepping into property we found dust everywhere, no wifi at all, dirty bathroom , mould on shower floor & curtains, arm chairs with stains, deck out back unsafe and trampoline broken. Also no toilet paper. Cannot open windows to air the place out. Dirty matress. Not sure how this is even allowed to be rented out.
