We loved the cottage and the garden. Everything is very pretty and heartwarming. The location is very convenient, close to shops and beaches. When the weather is very hot, it does tend to warm up in the bedrooms because the air conditioning is in the main area.
As usual, Dom and Val presented their lovely house in a very clean and welcoming condition. It was comfortable, even in Winter, with a cosy wood fire, warm beds and throws for the chills. The neighbourhood is very quiet and offers manageable walks to both the front and back beaches. We will return. Thanks again Val and Dom!
Bright and cheerful cottage in a great location. Access by car. Very well decorated and has a sense of yesteryear. Peaceful large garden complete with possums. Only thing I would change would be to update the mattresses. Great for families
Simple beach house with lovely wide verandah and peaceful garden. French cottage inspired interior evidently done with love and care. Friendly & courteous hosts.
Well located in a quiet street. It is nice to have a garden as part of the accommodation.
The cottage is well equipped for self- catering and close to restaurants/cafes in Blairgowrie and Sorrento.
We fell in love with the cottage as soon as we walked in. It is simple, beachy and absolutely divine. The back beaches are spectacular and we enjoyed the front beaches, food and shopping at Sorrento/Blairgowrie. Most importantly it was the perfect place to read, relax and recharge. We thank Dom and Val for giving us the opportunity to share their home and hope to return next year.
Dom & Val's very well presented and comfortable cottage is located in a peaceful setting and is a great base to explore the many attractions of the peninsula. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return!
A delightful retreat set in a beautiful garden and on a quiet street. The perfect place to relax and unwind. The owners were very friendly and the communication was great. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Val and Dom.
We had a wonderful stay in this cosy & beautifully decorated property. Dom was a perfect host & while the house amenities are basic as advertised, we had a comfortable stay with plenty of firewood for the coonara & nice hot showers. Kitchen was well stocked with all the little extras you’d rather not bring (coffee, oil, etc.). We’d highly recommend it.
This is our second stay in Dom and Val’s lovely french provincial inspired cottage. The house has everything you need to have a very relaxed and comfortable stay. It also has easy access to both the ocean and bay beaches, and local shops. We will definitely return.
Doms cottage was close to shops , beaches and restaurants.It was presented beautifully and was a pleasure to stay there.Thanks Dom for making our Xmas break a great one Darren.
A beautifully presented cottage which made us feel at home as soon as we walked in. Dom was most welcoming and helpful. Could not have asked for more.
The location on the Mornington Peninsula was convenient to all attractions.
A great stay with lovely memories.
We had a very relaxed weekend in Dom and Val’s beach house. The cottage has everything you need and we loved the charm of the beach decor. We would love to return.

Perfect getaway
Thanks Dom and Val for a great stay at your property. I would definitely recommend this place to people who want a relaxed, quiet weekend away. It's only a 20 mins walk to the local shops and even shorter walk to the beach.

Cosy cottage
We had a wonderful Easter break at this quiet cottage, tucked away in amongst ti-trees with a garden and wide verandah. The home is well kitted out and perfect for a couple of adults and kids. Dom, the host was a delight to liaise with at all times. We would definitely stay again.

Blairgowrie Romantic Cottage
We loved the 'rustic-cottage' ambience with lots of beachy, seaside touches in the decor and the well equipped kitchen which enabled us to enjoy exercising our culinary skills. We also enjoyed the comfy couches, sitting on the deck in the secluded bush garden and the close proximity to the back beaches and to Sorrento.
Dom was very friendly and helpful when arranging our stay.
We would recommend this cottage to friends and family.

Beach cottage
It feels private and secluded with its lovely bush garden. The seaside theme inside sets the scene for a beach holiday. The woodfire heater is an added bonus.

We are two retired teachers who love gardening, reading, films and travel. We also like spending time at our beach cottage in Blairgowrie. We enjoy meeting people who rent our property and do all we can to help them enjoy their stay. Dom and Val
Why they chose this property
Our cottage was one of the first built in Blairgowrie and still maintains much of its period character. We love the way it is secluded and elevated which enables us to enjoy the cool sea breezes in privacy.
