Loved the proximity to the bayside beach & walk. A great location for exploring the Mornington Peninsula.
the room was cosy, clean and comfortable.
The apartments are in a great location within an easy walk of the beach and local shops. There are a number of good cafes and restaurants nearby. The apartment was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Undercover parking was a bonus.

I loved the proximity to the beach and shops. Nice size room with comfy bedding. Very friendly staff.
Just one tiny thing I would like is a chain on the door for security.
