Great location, nice and quiet, close to everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Communication with the owner was great, keeping us updated with what was at the property before our arrival and sending back items we left at the house!

What makes this property unique

Our house is unique in that it is in such a quiet location that is quiet and peaceful even at the busiest times of the year. Yet everything you could want or need is so close by. You really don't need your car whilst staying here. Sorrento, Portsea, the pubs the surf club and the national park are all walkable or a few minutes drive.
The house is relaxed and comfortable.
