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.

Beautiful quiet place
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.

Great family getaway
Roomy house with great heated pool to 28 degrees, inground trampoline which the kids loved ( ages 3 to 11) and bonus of table tennis table and lots of games in cupboards including Wii. The house itself is comfortable - located about 10-15 mins walk to front beaches.

exceptional property and very relaxing location
We loved our stay. The property is perfectly set up for a family to relax and enjoy each others company. The garden is brilliant with a warm pool, spacious deck and great trampoline, all within a easy walk to the beach. Heaven. Owners were great, especially when i was silly enough to leave some clothes behind.

Fantastic family getaway
We hired the house for our famil(2 kids) and grandparents visiting from the UK. The house was perfect. Relaxed, well equipped and with a wonderful garden with swing and trampoline to keep the kids happy. The pool was also a hit and a very pleasant temperature to swim and play in. The communication with the owners before and during our stay was excellent and we genuinely felt they wanted to ensure we had a fantastic stay - which we did! Thank you
