I was not aware of your accomplishments and you did not disappoint as my niece Emma has suffered from an eating disorder the past few years and we have never seen her eat a full plate let alone 3 whole courses. While you don't have to share your secret recipe, I told her I would ask you for the pea & asparagus soup recipe o
Again, thank you so much Mark, my mother in law, Joan won't stop talking about you and we have now set a high benchmark for future family events.

Spend a day at the Peninsula Hot Springs, winner of the "Best Tourist Attraction" for the third year in a row

Paringa Winery has just won an award for the "Best winery restaurant in Australia"

Or walk to the train station, jump on the train and spend the day in the amazing city of Melbourne for the art, culture, unparalleled food, shopping and the best sporting events and venues in the country.

A day trip to popular Phillip Island to see the penguins is easy, or a ferry ride across the bay from Sorrento to Queenscliff and the chance to see Dolphins is another great day out.

Or..... simply spend the day at the beach swimming in crystal clear waters and stroll back after sundown. Wash off the sand and salt in the superb outdoor bathroom and relax with good food and wine in the out door BBQ entertaining area.

BUT...the most splendid of all are the walks along the beach. Enjoy morning coffee at the beachfront kiosk or dine in the beach restaurant and stroll (or roll) home along the beach.

Both the front and back of the house are air conditioned and a state of the art hydronic heating system will keep you cosy in the cooler months. The log fire is luxurious in winter and firewood is supplied. Also the house is wheelchair friendly, on flat land and has no more than one step throughout for those with limited mobility.

Getting around ...Walking distance to EVERYTHING

The beach, the pier, restaurants, cafes, train station, bus terminals, airport shuttle, cinemas, Bayside shopping centre, playgrounds, boardwalks, creek nature walking track, boat hire, and 500 m to McDonalds if that's your thing. Many restaurants in town will deliver food to your door.
