Guests tell us some of many things they love about our beach house is that it has a great energy, with lots of space to take some time for yourself or to gather together with friends and family. The fact that at the height of the season Dromana is an easy drive from Melbourne, avoiding the bottlenecks that begin at Rosebud. Saving you time, making this an easy journey. They truly feel that they are getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life or the busier peninsula beach towns. Easy access to the Wineries, Cellar doors, markets and Dromana’s own thriving attractions.

Excellent for families
We had two families stay with kids ranging from babies to teens and there was so much space and added extras for kids with games and toys. Great location we will definitely stay again!

Great house for a large group
Plenty of outdoor space for meals or kids to play, even for yoga in the morning sun. Lots of indoor space for cooking and talking. Super comfy rooms and just a short walk to a lovely beach. Thoroughly recommended.

    Came back sooner than expected, due to fires near our home. Everything we loved about it the first time as we have a son in a wheelchair we loved even more the second stay. All the conveniences of an easy family getaway are at this home. Location, comfortable beds, great showers, well equipped kitchen, spacious, great flow to the home and out onto the deck. For a wheelchair user a portable ramp we bought from home got our son up onto the front large veranda. Front door is normal size, so careful navigation through the doorway, but once in, wide hallway leads into the open living spaces and the master bedroom.Pollyanna is exceptional to deal with. A wonderful host. We will definitely be back . Highly recommend

    Great family holiday. Our son is in a wheelchair and we were able to make this home work by bringing our portable ramp to navigate the 2 front steps up on to a great size front deck. Great precision driving to get in through the normal size front door, but once inside the layout was great. The bathrooms are not accessible for a wheelchair user, but we booked knowing this. The outside deck was a perfect place to unwind. The beds were super comfortable, kitchen well equipped. The location was fantastic, we enjoyed all our walks to the beach, eateries and shops. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again. Pollyanna was lovely to deal with. Thanks Pollyanna for a wonderful stay

    We had New Zealand and German relatives join us to attend our son’s wedding. The house provided the perfect setting for all to get to know each other. Dancing on the lovely back deck broke all language barriers.
