Amazing Cosy Bungalow

This Bungalow was in lovely surroundings and well located to all facilities. The attention to detail in the bungalow was top quality. The little added touches, we had chocolate brownies and a fruit platter waiting for us, were amazing and very unexpected. The hosts, Denise and Ian, were extremely helpful and friendly. Ian, can you please let John know when the submarine races are on so we can book the bungalow and get back down there to watch it. Thank you again to you both for such a lovely set up and your kindness. Hope to see you again soon, John and Lisa

We were welcomed by the owner who was lovely and friendly. She made us home made cookies, her home made Apricot jam and a beautiful fruit platter with yoghurt for breakfast. The Bungalow was a home away from home. Very clean and cosy. Definitely a place we would lIke to accomodate when we go visiting the Bellarine Peninsula again.

Wonderful experience

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.
