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.

Beautifully clean bungalow close to the Beach in a quiet court

Location is perfect so close to the Beach, also in a peaceful quiet court but still close enough drive to get to shops etc. I loved how well thought out the bungalow is the small touches to the suite was amazing it felt like a home away from home. The bed was Super comfortable and the breakfast provided 🤤 and fruit super generous. Overall exceeded my expectations, the cleanliness is impeccable and the service from Denise and family was fantastic and both are super friendly and the offered advice on things to do in the area was so helpful. We would definitely return again I would highly recommended this place
