Lots of room in this house. Wonderful view of the water and sun sets from the lounge room and balcony. Within walking distance of beaches / coastal trails / general store etc. Easy access to Phillip Island and Wonthaggi. Host was great to deal with. Thank you for our lovely Kilcunda short stay.

Great communication with owner. House was old but comfortable. Needs some comfortable chairs for outdoor area. There was a lot of instructions for cleaning upon leaving. Would pay for cleaner next time.

The property was large enough for my family, 5 teenage grandchildren my partner and our son. Kitchen I found was a little small but had enough of the kitchenware we needed, a little disappointed there was no barbecue, but would of been another thing to clean anyway. Property was close enough to the beach good exercise for the kids to walk to, good walking tracks nearby and a general store just on the main road. Wonthaggi is the closest town about a 10 minute drive if you wanted to buy extra groceries. The manager was very pleasant she left easy instructions to get into the house and we were left with a Christmas gift surprise we thoroughly enjoyed.

house was in great location to Phillip Island, was a bit dissapointed there was no secure parking, by pics thought property had double gates for access to property, house was clean, but dinning floor mat was dangerous as i kept tripping over edges, TV remotes and Aircon remotes were hard to get working, and theres no hanging space for clothes, apart from that we had a great stay at Kilcundra and surrounding areas.

A spacious home, and so close to all we were doing on Phillip Island.
Thanks Sue

Perfect weekend getaway
An easy drive from Melbourne, Whispering Sand in Kilkunda was just as perfect for a weekend away by myself as it would be for the extended family or group of friends. Positioned just around the corner from the Killy Pub, and set back a street from the highway, the location is quiet and convenient.
From the balcony and main bedroom on the top floor, you can watch the sun setting over the famous cliffs.
The house living areas (upstairs and downstairs) are comfortable and everything that was needed was provided.
The communication with Sue was excellent and she was very responsive.
I can’t wait to stay again, just not sure who I’ll take with me… don’t want too many people finding out about the gem that is Kilkunda, and the Whispering Sands.
Thanks again Sue.

Location was great with beach just over the road (a short stroll); however beach not safe for swimming, more so for adventuring with beautiful rock pools & building sandcastles.
Wonthaggi being only a short 10 mins drive was handy to stock up on supplies (major supermarkets/Bunnings/Kmart/restaurants & cafes etc).
The mouth of the Powlett River is a 5 min drive which is a perfect spot for kayaking(kids first time - absolutely perfect). Can do kayaking, SUP or just relax in the water. With huge sand dunes as a back drop, it was something magical. Kids enjoyed running up the sand dunes (a boogie board to ride down is a great idea)!
Phillip Island only a 15min drive.
Cape Paterson (for safe swimming) only 25min drive.
The house layout could cater for two families who are comfortable (with eachother) to holiday with bedrooms & bathroom/toilet upstairs and downstairs with tvs, a/c and dining tables and a (small) kitchen (upstairs) to share. Great size garden for kids if having a quiet day at the house.
We enjoyed our stay, spent everyday out adventuring.
She was very helpful and offered a nice surprise of the ability to checkin a lot earlier than usual check in time and upon request happily let us check out later than usual 10am, which we were very grateful for.
Thank You Sue for a wonderful stay 😊

Awesome
Beautiful view of the ocean, the house made us feel even more relaxed.
The communication with owner was fantastic.
They had everything that we needed to cook with even an electric frying pan. We were shocked to find it as not many places have them.
No complaints from us it was an awesome stay and very relaxing.

We wanted to have a quick break away from the grind and found the Whispering Sands Beach house. This rental ticked all the boxes for us. It was a snug and peaceful house, close to the Kilcunda general store pub, costal walk, the beach and rocks pools. Even though it was almost the middle of winter we were warm and snug as we watched big swells crash on the rocks from our view from the living room. Looking forward to returning for our next break to Whispering Sands Beach house. Thank you for the opportunity Sue!!

My kids and I enjoyed our stay here. We thought the location was excellent as it was a short trip to Phillip Island and gave us options of heading down the coast. The property itself was comfortable and could easily accommodate more people and still be comfortable. Would happily stay again.

Spacious and clean house with a billion dollar view of Bass Strait from upstairs. The day we arrived we were impressed by the sparkling expanse of ocean and blue skies before us. When the weather changed, it was lovely to feel safe and snug looking out at the churning ocean and skies in the cold gale force winds, pelting rain and hail. Beautiful. Excellent communication by the host, too.

This house was fantastic! So close to the hotel and general store. I stayed with a friend on the weekend of the George Bass Trail Run and it was perfect. I will definitely return with my family and the house could in fact accommodate two families as it has a bathroom both upstairs and downstairs.Sue, the host was lovely and her communication was fantastic.
