Fabulously located and appointed property - short walk to a lovely secluded beach and a great spacious house for adults and teenagers to share! The par 3 golf course is great to brush up on your short game or just walk around. The log fire was great at nite and plenty of in room heaters to keep everyone warm. We will be back.

Second time .
We came back to this amazing house after having such a wonderful holiday there last year.We love the house, the beach around the corner (for us ,the best on the island),and feel very at home there.We were even given a few hours more to check out on the last day (thank you). As we are a family of cooks,I would like to see a few more saucepans, and a stronger liquifier for food,as the one there had little strength.
I LOVED that we were supplied with sheets and towels this year. Brilliant. It made such a difference not having to carry all these extra things down with us. Will come back! Thank you.

Fantastic
Absolutely brilliant house and location.The best little beach on philip Island if you love a bay beach.
The only thing (and the only thing) I would dare to complain about was that the cutting knives in the kitchen were quite blunt....and we cooked at home every day.It was really hard to work with them so I could suggest a good knife sharpener.
Absolutely stunning view over the golf course, but unfortunately once the western sun hit, it was impossible to sit outside....but heh,first world problem.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would definitely go back.Thank you!

My Best Stay Ever
My two sisters, three nieces and I stayed at the Saltwater Breeze Retreat for a long weekend and I must say that without a doubt this would have to be one of my favourite properties that I have stayed at before.
On our arrival from the city on the Friday it was a seamless experience getting into the security box and gaining access into the house with the instructions we had been given by the agency.
It was truly wonderful entering this property as there was such an abundance of light as soon as you walk in, lovely vibe. Set over two stories the top floor has ceiling to floor doors and windows with a lovely veranda that spanned from one side of the house to the other. The outlook is just gorgeous, looking over the golf course and then just beyond that is the ocean, so close that you can hear the waves crashing down day and night.
The whole house was very clean with lovely décor. We were there in winter so we pumped up the Coonara Wood Heater which warmed up the entire upstairs area in no time, very cosy indeed! Downstairs there were heaters in each bedroom which also heated up in no time as well which was great.
What I also liked it was that it had everything we needed whether it was in the kitchen, to getting the fire started, to basic bathroom supplies, they really have thought of everything which is fantastic!
The location was great too. A hop, skip and jump away from the beach and only a couple of minutes drive to the main street of Cowes which was handy if you want to go and do some shopping or go just out for a coffee. We went to see the Penguin Parade on the Saturday night and it was so easy, literally a 5 minute drive from the house! Too easy!
I give this property a 10/10 rating and I would definitely recommend this property to stay at any time of the year as I’m sure it will be just as good when we go again this summer!
Thanks for an awesome weekend Saltwater Breeze!
