The perfect Portsea getaway

We had a wonderful time - the property was perfect for our young family and friends. We loved the comfortable accommodation, generous back garden, and easy access to the best Portsea has to offer. Our hosts Alison and Kingsley were extremely accommodating and couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we look forward to returning soon!

Great experience

My cousins and I stayed at this wonderful house in Portsea for one of our cousin's weddings. The whole stay was amazing, we had chocolate on arrival with a lovely note and the house was equipped with everything we needed. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone and hopefully will reattend one day.

What makes this property unique

Things we like to do in the local area

• Portsea Oval and Tennis Courts (public) – 5 minute walk is a lovely oval for kids and walk up newly laid tennis courts you can use for free.

• If you are into your running/ walking you can leave the house, Delgany Ave to entrance to Point Nepean National Park. About 500 meters along the National park road there is a turn off to Wilson Folly Track. This track takes you across the park toward London Bridge and Back Beach .

The path leads passed houses on your left and beautiful views of the bay on your right all the way to Shelly Beach. This is public land that most don’t know about.
