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

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.

Perfect accomodation for 2
Denise was there to check us in to a great property, that included unexpected niceties such as a fancy loaf of fresh bread, condiments and sweets. Denise explained how to use all appliances in the bungalow and was delightful. Meet Ian on the last day and we enjoyed a nice chat, with both he and Denise being perfect hosts. Bed was comfy, telly was huge, nice couch and dining set up. All the little extras were greatly appreciated and topped off a great experience. Quality beverages, fruit, sweets and spreads (some homemade), to name a few. We recommended the bungalow to friends we caught up with at lunchtime after our first night, so impressed we were less than 24 hours after check in. After 3 nights, our recommendation is stronger. Thanks Denise and Ian!!

Perfect for Bellarine Wineries or Beach
We stayed for one night as a stopover on the way back to Mornington Peninsula and chose the location to be close enough to the golf courses and Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry, which were 20 minutes away. The location was nice and quiet and the bungalow is clean and well presented. We were greeted by the host Ian who helped with our luggage and gave a briefing on the facilities and provided helpful local knowledge on dining options. Denise provides some lovely home-made extras (cookies & jams) and the fridge is stocked with all you need for a light continental breakfast. The bed was very comfortable and the aircon ensured we could keep the summer heat at bay. The need to park on the street (albeit in a small court) was a negative for us, especially as our car was the only one on the in the court. Overall it was a lovely stay and Ian and Denise were friendly and engaging. If we'd realised how close we were to the Bellarine wineries, we might have considered a longer stay
