Country feel, nice area. Accommodation well set up with with heaters for warmth as nights were chilly outside. Hosts left us to our own devices, on hand if needed. Overall a very pleasant stay. Road could be a little noisy during daylight time.

COMFORTABLE STAY AT THE OLD COOLSTORE

We loved our stay in the Braeburn Apartment at the Old Coolstores. The accommodation was fantastic; only two of us stayed but it would be more than adequate for a family of four. Bedrooms were both huge; and there were two large bathrooms. The living areas were also massive with an open plan style encompassing the kitchen, dining and living room. We did not use the cooking facilities much but there seemed to be everything you needed. The heaters did a fantastic job of keeping the large area warm, especially as we encountered a couple of chilly nights. Wifi was available, but only in the bedroom (at the moment) due to technical difficulties. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to take a break on the Mornington Peninsular. It is conveniently located to all the attractions; however, a car is required.

Good place to stay in Red Hill

Our family had a pleasant stay at the property - it's in a really lovely area and there are heaps of things nearby to visit. The property itself was clean and spacious. However giving 4/5 starts for the minor wrinkles of: as the property is on a main road, it was fairly noisy, and the shower & mattresses really weren't great. (And all the shampoo/ soap bottles were empty). Yes, we would stay there again, however would definitely investigate other properties in the same price range as well.

Good sized place for a family of 4

Spacious and plenty of heating to keep us warm for the winter stay. But lots of cobwebs that I needed to vacuum away at the start of my stay in each room.

Comfortable, roomy, quiet, relaxing, pretty, rustic

My husband says “awesome.” He loved your property. So did I. It was beautiful. My only suggestions are, the window sills need cleaning and the cutlery drawer. I would have liked to open windows for fresh air but no fly wire screens. As I am a private person, I was needing blinds on the entrance doors and kitchen window. We pinned the tea towel up for privacy. We also needed another tea towel and a pair of scissors. The beds were so dreamy and comfy, had to drag ourselves out of bed as rooms were nice and dark. We absolutely loved our stay. The freshly picked garden flowers were perfect. Thank you. You have a gorgeous property in a very beautiful, peaceful area. Thank you so much for our stay. We will definitely recommend your place and be back.

Spacious interior but no outdoor area

Great indoor space, it was just 2 of us but plenty of room for 4. Well equipped and clean and comfortable. The outdoor space was disappointing, the website photos show an outdoor dining terrace but this didn't exist, there was no outdoor area. The apartment overlooks a car park which is shared by this apartment and others and it is also next to a reasonably busy road so a fair bit of traffic noise.

Great property in a nice quiet location

We had a great stay. I had the second bedroom while my friend had the main - we each had our own bathrooms which was very handy. Property was neat and tidy and there were tea and coffee facilities for us. The host was very accommodating to our requests and was very responsive. Would stay here again!

The owners are beautiful and accommodating, the space is so large and clean and it was the absolutely perfect place for us to spend our weekend! Both bedrooms are huge and each has a bathroom. The view is beautiful and plenty of parking space! Thank you for a beautiful weekend and for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back again! Xx

Great property and a great place to stay

We traveled down to watch our son graduate from HMAS Cerebus. The property was absolutely ideal for our needs and wonderfully situated. It was just minutes from everywhere yet quiet and peaceful. The apartment had nearly everything we needed in it.

A very well-located and very comfortable cottage which was an ideal base for exploring the Mornington Peninsula as well as for relaxing 'at home'. The hosts were very welcoming, and their flexibility with time for checking out on our last day was greatly appreciated.

Great location and top value for money over the holiday period. Modern and stylish inside and plenty of room for the 2 couples and toddler that stayed. Only constructive critisism is that there was no separate Aircon in the bedrooms. Bear in mind though we had a 40 deg day to contend with!! Would not hesitate to stay there again and would recomend to anyone wanting a peninsula getaway.
