    Location was convenient. Breakfast of cereals, bread, butter, spreads, yoghurt and fresh fruit platter was excellent. Good quality tea and coffee, as well as orange juice also provided.

Denise and Ian
Cosy bungalow with ensuite, beachy decor, extremely comfortable queen sized bed Cont. breakfast is provided. Very private, roomy, detached from main house, ideal for a couple; foxtel included in the tariff. We are a very well travelled couple who love to talk to people from all backgrounds and walks of life. The house is 1 min 25 secs drive/5 mins walk to one of Victoria's best swimming and fishing beaches, 10 min walk to ferry, 4 mins drive to 5 top wineries and the golf club. It is 700 mtrs to the start of Portarlington village which has 10 cafes/ restaurants, incl. Indian, Chinese, Italian, Seafood, Pizza, plus numerous little boutique clothes and homeware stores, bank, newsagency, wine bar and hotel, all of a very good standard. The open fireplace in the Bungalow is perfect for those chilly winter evenings - wood supplied free of charge with 1 days notice required [ once lit, the fire must not be left unattended ]. Smoking is not appreciated anywhere on the premises - if you must smoke, kindly smoke out in the street, as it is very difficult to eliminate the tobacco aroma from curtains and furnishings.
We are a well travelled retired couple, very happy to interact,, but equally, your time at our Bungalow is just that - your time - and we are just as happy to leave you alone and to your own devices. We are only a 'phone call away for any queries or assistance and for stays over 4 days we can do your washing for you [ at no charge ] if needed, and assuming we are home.
Plenty of fishing, swimming , golfing, wineries, rail trails for riding and walking, restaurants and cafes on our doorstep.
