Old School Yesteryear

Re-live your childhood - getaway and recharge your batteries in this hidden, rustic spot.
A perfect family escape amongst nature with four bedrooms and two bathrooms (no ensuite). Stock up the fridge and stay put with a book while the kids play games in the yard or take a 10 minute walk to Balnarring Beach after grabbing a coffee or lunch at Tulum store. Nearby Balnarring Village is perfect for supplies.
An expansive rear deck backs onto Hans creek and is a beautiful spot for a BBQ, bird watching or backyard cricket.
There’s plenty to do here with games, a nearby reserve and playground and places to walk.
Keep warm in winter with a gas fire.
Pets welcome though fencing is not suitable for fence jumpers or those keen to escape.

If you feel like getting out and about, the beautiful Mornington Peninsula has plenty of cafes, beaches, wineries, breweries, and walking trails to explore.
Wineries are abundant on the Mornington Peninsula and a short 15 minute drive up into the hills will get you to some of the finest restaurants and wineries on offer. Boating, fishing and all the beach has to offer is a short stroll away. Mini golf, tenpin bowling and other amusements to keep the kids occupied are all within a 30 minutes drive down south. Situated on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, with everything at your doorstep - wineries, beaches, spas, tourist attractions.

Old fashioned beach house

It’s old school as described but we didn’t expect it to be as dusty as it was, I could write my name in my daughter’s bedside table. Also we stayed there on 30 to 33 degree days and the freestanding air con and pedestal fans didn’t do anything to cool the place down. We found it hard to sleep at night and didn’t spend much time in the house.

Short stay at old school yesteryear

We arrived late in the afternoon. We didn't notic that there was more space on the left hand side of the house but will know for next time. We spent some time looking for the dishwasher but there wasn't one. Maybe the note on the fridge could be updated
