Five bedrooms, a 12-metre heated pool and Whites Beach just 200 metres from the front door. This fully fenced Tootgarook resort sleeps 16, so two or three families can holiday together without living on top of each other, only one hour's drive from Melbourne.



The main house has two generous living areas, a dining table that seats 12 people, a modern kitchen (all basics provided like salt pepper olive oil ect), two bathrooms and reverse-cycle heating and cooling for year-round comfort.

Wide sliding doors open onto the backyard, where the 12-metre solar-heated pool is the centre of every summer day. The covered pergola seats 14 at one long table, with a 6-burner gas BBQ for long lunches while keeping an eye on the kids in the pool made easy for family dinners. There's plenty of lawn for backyard cricket and pétanque, and the whole yard is fully fenced, so the kids can run free.



Romney Park, with its basketball court and skate ramps, is under 200 metres away. The foreshore bike/walk trail runs along the bay, so the family can cycle/walk between Rye and Rosebud past beaches, cafes and playgrounds. Peninsula Hot Springs, championship golf courses, the Red Hill wineries and restaurants and Bars are all a short drive away (see local activities below).
