About this property
The Nest - Restful studio retreat for couples. Short 10 min walk to the beach.
Waking up to the sound of birds and a view of the majestic eucalyptus tree outside your window is heaven! The Nest is a peaceful place to return to after a day exploring all the Mornington Peninsula has to offer including wineries, restaurants, beaches, galleries and much more. Located in the quiet seaside village of Somers the Nest is a self contained studio apartment on the first floor, which looks out into the treetops of a beautiful native garden. The Nest is simple, comfortable and luxurious where it counts with king-sized bed, beautiful sheets, vintage pieces and premium fittings and fixtures throughout. Also featuring an ensuite bathroom, lounge area, small dining table and a kitchenette with microwave, toaster and bar fridge - the Nest has all you need to make a simple meal or enjoy a cheese platter and some local wine picked up during your day exploring.
There is also a BBQ and small outdoor area to enjoy at ground level. There is a designated parking area in front of your entrance.
Your host lives on the property in a house detached from the studio.

Wonderful location close to HMAS Cerberus for families of sailors, access to all of Mornington Peninsula, food options available nearby. Property was very clean and lovely. The owner was wonderful to deal with and gave plenty of information with plenty of time for our stay.

Amazing Studio and amazing host
This is a beautiful studio. The attention detail is second to no one. We have stayed at many places not just here in Australia but around the world and I truely enjoyed the stay. The ‘care’ that the host showed us, complete strangers, was amazing. The host has thought of everything.
