About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Home 400m from the beach!

Our home is in a very quiet and secluded avenue located only 400 metres to the nearest beach and a 10 minute walk along the beach to St Leonards main Street, the hotel/pub and cafes. Queenscliff & Point Lonsdale are located a short 20 minute drive away; the many wineries on the Bellarine Peninsula are also within a short 10-20 minute drive.

The mainly native front and rear garden is home to many birds and provides a beautiful & relaxed environment.

Enjoy sitting on the large and private front outdoor deck having your breakfast each morning, listening to the bird life awake for the days activities.

Edwards Point walking track is a short 10 minute walk away, where you have direct access to bush and beach trail walks.

As the day draws to an end, you may wish to fire up the BBQ or sit in the back yard under the shade of the fully grown avocado tree & with some luck you can pick your own avocados if they are ripe!

Inside the house, you will find that it will comfortably sleep up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms. The main bedroom has its own ensuite with a full bath and wonderful large shower. The 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed and 3rd bedroom, a king single bed and a single bed. These 2 rooms share a bathroom.

If you enjoy entertaining, the modern kitchen will provide all that you need, with a microwave, dishwasher, gas stovetop & an electric oven. You may wish to dine inside at the table, or move outside to the front deck table and chairs. If it gets a little cold, overhead ceramic heaters will provide the heat and comfort you need or move inside to the wood fired heater for that cosy feeling.

Other amenities include reverse cycle air conditioning in the main living area and a ceiling fan and wall heater in the master bedroom. The other bedrooms have oil heaters available for cold nights and fans.

There is ample off street parking for cars and a boat if needed with high front fence to the property. The laundry has a washing machine and dryer.

NBN Wifi is available, overhead outdoor heaters, fire pit and gas BBQ for your use.

And for Dog Lovers... Dogs are very welcome! We just ask that you keep them off all couches and beds.

Please Note: there is no access to the garage and the decor is different to that in the photos. There is now an outdoor lounge setting on the verandah, along with a dining table.









There's even an indoor fireplace to sit and relax with a wine

Excellent location…easy walk to beach and walking trails. Quiet area and well fenced for puppers to wander in the yard freely. Lots of great space for people to hangout in. We would definitely stay again.

New Years escape
Stayed for 5 nights between Christmas and New Year. House was well kept and presentable. Communication with the owners was fast. Incredibly glad they allowed our greyhound to accompany us. Two gates meant the greyhoud was able to be secured safely while we travelled around the Bellarine. Our family used to own a beach house nearby, and after spending some time back in St Leonards, we are considering doing so again.

A perfect stay
Briefly, the house is great, comfortable, clean, well laid out, spacious. Furniture, kitchen equipment etc all excellent quality, much better than in the average rental. The front deck is perfect for lying on the couch with a book. On a chilly day pull up the alpaca rug.

A perfect, peaceful getaway
My friend and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was everything we could have hoped for. I've stayed in many holiday rental properties over the years. This was right up there with the best of them - possibly even my favourite. From the moment we pulled up in the drive, it felt great - very cared for, a home away from home. Clean, stylish (without being precious), at ease, bright, airy, a fabulous decking with couches and throws provided, very comfortable beds and fresh, modern bathrooms. The children's room with 2 single beds was bright and lovely too, although we didn't use it. Gorgeous back and front gardens. The beach is only 2 blocks away - not a glamorous coastline, but unspoiled and so peaceful. The town is similarly chilled and very friendly. Susan was a delight to deal with. Warm and responsive. I would recommend this stay highly to anyone. Loved everything about it. Thank you, Susan.

A lovely beach getaway!
We booked for a 3 day stay recently, but unfortunately had to return home after 1 night due to an urgent work matter. However, we loved this property: it was spotlessly clean for our arrival, is close to the beach and has everything you could want. Sitting on the deck for dinner and breakfast was lovely with birds and a beautiful garden that helped us to relax. We would definitely recommend this property and all dealings with Susan, the owner, were friendly, efficient and understanding. Thanks Susan!

We stay at homestay accommodation very often and this is one of the best so far. The place is in a nice quiet part of town, good parking, close to the boat ramp and a nice stroll up to the shops. Really nicely decorated and fitted out with everything you need. The fireplace is awesome. Would definitely stay here again.
