Perfect beach getaway for couple or small family. Lovely modern large apartment on sensational blick in quiet street. Hosts were super nice. Highly recommended.
My family of two adults and two young children had a wonderful four night summer stay. Hosts Colin and Deb were lovely and the pool and tennis court were highlights. 5 stars! Looking forward to returning!
We loved our weekend away at the cottage. It was so clean and well maintained. The host’s Colin and his wife Deborah were both so lovely, and helpful. The pool is absolutely beautiful and you have a lot of privacy. I would definitely go back there with my daughters. The location of the property was perfect close to the shops and the beach.
Absolutely stunning
The respect of Colin and Deborah was so welcoming
The pool was so clean and beautiful…. So clean and beautiful location can’t wait to go back
Absolutely in love with this beautiful place.
As a family we have been travelling to that side of the peninsula for the last couple of years for our little family getaways and wish we had of found the Longford Cottage much sooner.
It’s in a great location, walking distance to some of our favourite spots. The cottage is presented absolutely lovely, with everything you need for your stay. Colin & Deb are fabulous and very helpful.
We will definitely be back..
We had a wonderful stay at Longford cottage, Colin and Deborah are excellent hosts. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and decorated beautifully. The pool is a definite plus, especially being accessible right outside the door. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay at Collin and Deborah's immaculately presented cottage apartment!
The 1 bedroom layout was spacious enough for our family of four (lounge setting converts to a double bed). We loved the view of the solar heated pool and the convenience of being close to both the front and back beaches. Plus, a short drive to Sorrento made it even better.
Collin and Deborah were wonderful hosts. We give it 5 stars without hesitation!
Property looked brand new. Scrupulously clean, roomy with a lovely aspect from all the windows. Fresh white towels and beautiful bed linen and soft furnishings. Super comfy bed. Colin was very friendly and helpful. Pool was beautiful and sparkling.
Our expectations were exceeded on arrival when shown a very modern, spacious and charming unit with a pool.
The hosts were very welcoming and helpful.
I highly recommend this property which is in a great location to enjoy the beach lifestyle.

Colin and his wife provided us with a wonderful relaxing cottage stay at their holiday property. Their cottage was bright and clean and stylish and very central to exploring all the shops, cafes, and beaches in Blairgowrie and Sorrento. Their hospitality was pleasant and very helpful. We will most definitely return for future stays. Thank you so very much Colin. Regards Kylie and daughter Mikayla
This is a very charming, spacious property.
It is surrounded by by some lovely old native trees, and there are nice views of these from every window.
All of the rooms are very large with lots of windows.
The living room also has some nice french windows overlooking the swimming pool.
The cottage is very well equipped and is close to Blairgowrie, Sorrento and Rye.
There are some excellent beaches and good walking very close by. We found Koonya beach, which is about 10 minutes away to be a particular favourite with some spectacular rock features.
The hosts are very charming and friendly and can give you lots of good information about local amenities.
We would definitely stay there again, if the hosts will have us back!
Good tip, don't close the blind in the kitchen too early, otherwise you will miss some stunning sunsets.
