There is a bread machine with instructions, flour and yeast for you to make beautiful warm loaves of bread. You have access to the whole house and yard. Everything. The driveway fits 3 cars, nose to tail. And we have a verandah on 2 sides of the house so you can store your bikes etc there. The space is too tight for a boat or caravan and there isn't anywhere on the street to park them. We also have a shed in the backyard that has a bit of storage space in it. We live nearby so can come over if there are any problems. You can also call or text on our mobiles once you book The coastal reserve is at the end of the street which has a path that leads to Number 16 and Dimmicks beaches (and beyond to Portsea and to Cape Schanck), as well as coffee and supplies at 16 Beach General Store (500m walk). Local attractions include: - Award winning Peninsula Hot Springs - Golf courses (public courses include The Dunes, Eagle Ridge) - Breweries and wineries - Sorrento, Blairgowrie and Rye shops - Rye pier, playground and foreshore - Ocean surf beaches and bay beaches It is a quiet area, set in coastal bush, away from the front beach crowds. Buses run along Melbourne Road. Otherwise, you need to walk or drive. Parking - our driveway is long enough that 3 cars should be able to fit, nose to tail. We do have resident possums in the front trees and they do cause a bit of mess that we clean up, but you may find some possum poo on the deck. They love playing in the trees at sunset and are lovely to watch. Unfortunately, the fencing on the property means that we can't have pets stay as they are not secure. If your pet is an indoor pet, then message me to discuss further. If you use the fireplace, please read the notes provided in the house on what to do or you will fill the house with smoke!!! When the wind is blowing strongly from a northerly direction, the smoke comes into the room so we don't recommend lighting it then. We have wind direction arrows to help you work out if it is northerly. Message me to discuss longer stay discounts
