The Space:
Parents will think they have died and gone to heaven with the family friendly design of this contemporary beach house with its duel living rooms and fully equipped games room. With the addition of a good sized flat and secure rear yard, all visible from the comfort of the main living areas, the kids will be entertained for hours.

Located just a short stroll to one of the Peninsulas iconic beaches, Tyrone Foreshore, this property is well positioned to take advantage of everything the Mornington Peninsula has to offer.

Making the most of its northerly aspect the main living areas including the kitchen and outdoor entertaining area are bathed in sunshine.

For those balmy summer nights a fully equipped kitchen including all the mod cons you’d expect of a property of this stature or outdoor gas bbq are the ideal place to prepare a meal of flathead tails & salad.

Comfortably sleeping one or two families there is enough room for 8 people to relax in comfort. The sleeping configurations consist of the Main Bedroom with queen bed, ensuite and walk-in robe, Second Bedroom with queen bed and robe and finally the Kids Bedroom with 2 x single bunks and robes.

After returning from a day at the beach each living area has its own t.v. and dvd making it the ideal place for kids to retreat to whilst the parents relax with a glass of wine at the opposite end of the home.

This is a wonderful property in a prime location and the ideal place for you to enjoy your next beach getaway.

Fantastic Property
We had a great stay here, the house is really good but the star is the deck, yard & location! The owners thought of everything to make our stay pleasant. We loved our walks to the beach & would happily recommend this property. The only downside was the bed & pillows are a bit on the hard side. Can't wait to return another day.

Immaculate and comfortable
Our first impression of this home was that it was sparkling clean and immaculate. A very comfortable home for a family with kids. The pantry was very well stocked and all utensils clean for use so we could make meals for the family. The outside area is so well designed that we could enjoy it even in winter as it had heaters. The house is in a great location in between Blairgowrie and Rye. It was a lovely 20 minute walk to Blairgowrie shops and cafe, and the quality butcher. The neighbourhood is very peaceful and quiet. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend this house.

Great property for our young family, with the feature being the amazing outdoor entertaining space
We stayed at this great property in March ‘18 and love it. Very close walk to Tyrone’s beach, which is lovely, and longer walk (or 2 mins in car) to Rye shops and Blairgowrie shops. The house had everything we needed for a young family with 3 children, and will definitely consider staying again in the future.
