Linda
Skipper's Retreat is a peaceful, family-friendly home set back from the road behind screening trees, and with a fully fenced back garden. Upstairs is newly renovated with four bedrooms, (two queen bed rooms, one double bed room, and two single beds in the fourth room). Bathroom with bath and shower over bath, and separate toilet. The living/dining area is open plan, with a brand new fully equipped kitchen offering two ovens - one electric and one gas, and a dish washer. This area is further enhanced by the large front deck with BBQ and outdoor table. The front and back decks both have toddler gates for your peace of mind.
Your hosts Gary and Linda hope you have a comfortable and relaxing stay in their 'Skipper's Retreat' and are happy to share it with you.
Skipper's Retreat is situated half way between the bayside beaches and the ocean beaches, with elevated views across the treetops. It is a comfortable walk to either coast line, and a short drive to either the Rye shops, or Blairgowrie and further afield Sorrento and Portsea. All the attractions of the area are easily accessable by car - golf, hot pools, beaches, surfing, horse riding, wineries, restaurants.
