Limeburners Family Retreat - gas heated pool, basketball court & in-ground tramp

Great house for a family holiday

Beautiful property crafted for families including safe gas heated pool and many kids activities within the property. Great location with views of the ocean. Highly recommend and will go again for sure!

Everything was excellent. Our host Alicia was the very best ever.

Wonderful family getaway! House was big enough for us all and the outdoor facilities were perfect for the warm weather. Nice quiet area close enough for short walks to beach & cafe. We loved our 3 night stay at Limeburners Retreat!

The reviews and description sound wonderful. It’s not how it appears. The carpet in the living room was filthy as were the kitchen cupboard doors and kick boards on the bench area. The front door is filthy. And cabinetry in the front living room filthy too. There were no instructions to any of the appliances and no keys to any of the locked windows. There is no shade on a hot day whatsoever on the back deck. However there were toys for the children. Overall the house is far from well presented.

Our family, 9 of us aged from 68 to 3 months, had a great stay at this property. The house was perfectly adequate for the needs of our family, having a 12 and 14 year old needing to be entertained. Without doubt the outside area is the hilight of this property, featuring a heated pool, 1/2 basketball court and in ground trampoline, with a huge deck overlooking the grounds. Very easy to watch the children and to share time together. The yard also accommodated our dogs nicely, with plenty of space to run around and have a good sniff!! The inside of the house felt very homely on entering and offered 2 separate living areas where 2 large TV’s kept both the children and adults happy. The bathrooms and laundry were newly renovated, with the kitchen a little tired, but more than adequate for our daily needs. The house is situated in a very leafy, quiet area and is in walking distance to Shelley Beach, Portsea Hotel and a lovely bakery. Our family would highly recommend this property for a relaxing break.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and definitely will be returning.

We stayed here for 3 nights with our kids. The house is specious, huge deck with outdoor setting and lounges. The pool was great and the trampoline was a hit with our kids. However, it was raining most of our stay and given it’s such a huge deck it would have been nice if it had some sort of cover. The bathrooms and laundry were renovated and very clean. The rest of the house such as kitchen, carpets and curtains were old, dusty and needed a proper clean. The kitchen needs a proper scrub down and abit of upgrade too. There were a lot of spider webs in the house and the couches and chairs weren’t the most comfortable either. The fire place was awesome on one of the nights that temperature dropped drastically. The beds weren’t that comfortable, however the bed sheets were clean and fresh. Also, bathroom towels and pool towels were very luxurious and in almost brand new condition. The stay was ok, but the place wasn’t what we expected.

My young family and I adored staying at this property. The home is lovely and functional for a family and also has room for further guests. The outdoor area is stunning and the pool, swing and trampoline provides hours of entertainment for my young son. Many thanks to the hosts Alicia and Frank for great communication and for a great stay. A pleasure.

We had the best time at Limeburners retreat. It’s a beautiful house with great new bathrooms and cozy living spaces. Loved the outdoor area in the back with the trampoline and heated pool. It was perfect space for our dogs, especially as it it securely fenced and has all grassed areas. From the front deck you can see the ocean and Melbourne skyline. It felt really private and you can’t see the neighbours when you’re in the backyard. Location is great as it’s in between Portsea and Sorrento and you can walk to the beach. Would come back anytime.
