During the day lovely Somers beach is only 15 mins away and for the surfers only a few minutes more to Point Leo. Hastings is walking distance to restaurants, shops and then pier. Relax and soak in a warm bath. Or see a movie and the Drive In cinema located at Dromana only 20 minutes away. Red Hill wineries are around 20 mins away also, or perhaps see the Mornington peninsula from a higher view in the gondolas, at Arthurs seat.
Free WiFi and NETFLIX on the 58 inch screen TV. There's a small collection of dvds available for your enjoyment, and a small collection of board games too.
Full use of the kitchen if you’d prefer to dine in too.

Inside pets are welcome, and an enclosed rear yard with a lockable gate if you need to go out for a while.
Also, an outside hammock to relax in.
