About this property

Note: Advertised fee accommodates up to six people. For the December/January bookings, if you choose to bring your own sheets and pillowcases, $100 will be deducted from the stay. If you are happy to water the pot plants on the front and back deck, we also deduct another $50. (Not many to water.)

Accommodation is the LOWER level of this very functional, family friendly holiday home (not pet friendly) which offers three bedrooms, two have queen size beds and one has two single beds that can convert into a queen size bed if plenty of notice is given. There are two bathrooms, two living areas, central heating and cooling, a fantastic fully functional kitchen and a laundry. There is a deck for outdoor dining with fabulous views of the bay and the You Yangs. There is a good sized fully enclosed back garden for children. Pets are not catered for. Just one reason is that our back lawn is Santa Ana Couch and does not tolerate pet wee. Also, pets are not welcome in the home particularly on beds. Boats are not catered for either and one jet ski is by arrangement. Also please leave any e-scooter or e-bike at home.

Plenty to do at Portarlington.

Lovely experience

Loved that it was clean when we we first walked in. The location and house are amazing! We really loved the layout of the house. I liked it was close to the beach and and to the shops. I also loved how it was kid friendly. Having a walking one year old is hard but I loved that certain areas were closed off and had doors which made life easier. The kids were entertained with the toys provided. Would definitely recommend staying here especially if you have kids and/or a big family. Would love to stay here again in the near future.

Sensational Portarlington Beach Property

Absolutely sensational property only a very short leisurely walk to the town and beach. Stunning 180degree views over the bay to Geeling and Melbourne. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away for a few days. No expense was spared in the home with every conceivable extra there. The were 3 separate living areas not including the balconies The house was sparkling clean and ideal for 3 couples with 4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms and a massive bath in one. Just a fabulous getaway house.

Portarlington weekend

A fabulous place to stay for a long weekend or longer if you have the time. It was very clean and comfortable with a fantastic view of the bay. The back garden was a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the winter sun as was the back lounge area. An easy walk into town so no need to use the car. Highly recommended

Better than the photos

We loved our stay at Bayview. Beautiful house with plenty of space and great views. Water at the end of the street. Nice neighbourhood. Loved all the little extras. Things like lots of extra towels and plates etc. Like the chocolates and a nicely stocked pantry of basics just adds that little extra. Kitchen has everything you need from grill to toasted sandwich maker.Lovely and clean with comfy beds. Would definitely recommend.
