Long weekend getaway
We enjoyed our short family break at Koala Cottage. Great to be able to walk to the beach and General Store via the cut-throughs at the end of the court. Lovely verandah for relaxing with a good book and comfy couch to kick back and watch TV.

Koala Cottage was the perfect place to stay for our us with being so close to HMAS Cerberus and not too far from Melbourne. It was roomy and comfy. There was ample supply of everything we needed. Thanks Angela :)

We had a lovely relaxing weekend on the peninsula and staying at this property. Everything very clean and tidy and in good working order. Kids loved the park with flying fox out the back. Thanks for the stay!

Great summer stay
We had a great stay at Somers. It's a spacious, clean, well-equipped property. Beds were comfy and the water pressure is great too. Location is fab, it's a quick walk to the beach and general store. The property also borders a small park with a well-shaded playground which our kids loved exploring (hold on tight to that flying fox, though!). Angela, the host, was extremely quick to respond and the check-in process couldn't have been easier. Happy to say the property also lived up to its name with a big koala taking up residence for a couple of days in a tree just a few meters from the front deck.
