We loved the privacy and the outdoor spaces, and the cute retro feel. It was perfect for our weekend, going to the hot springs and some bushwalking. The bbq plate was appreciated for our breakfast cook up.

Lovely location - close to St Andrews Brewery, hot springs and beaches. The outdoor space and open fire pit was lovely. It is rustic but has a nostalgic charm.

Cozy stay at Back Beach Beryl!

As soon as we came in, we instantly fell in love. Beryl is so cute! We came inside to a jar full of minties and sachets of cereal! Instantly took me back to when I went on holiday as a kid and stayed at hotels. The next night we had a fire and it was so relaxing just looking up at the stars. No sound except for the possum in the tree. The whole experience was simply cozy. I'll definitely choose this spot again if I come back to Melbourne/Mornington Peninsula

A fun place to stay.

I liked the novelty of staying in a 1990's caravan. The setting was lovely with all the solar lights, surf boards, etc. The owners have a quirky sense of humour. A quiet and peaceful location but not far from Sorrento and Point Nepean.

Overall stay was enjoyable

Safe and secluded location, toilet amenities was in very good condition. Owners were very communicative about the property and directions. Caravan has Netflix and streaming services. Shower has hot water. Loved the Australian references and wellness inside the caravan.

James was a very communicative and friendly host. The van is cool for a different stay. Enjoyed our time in the peninsula and good location to explore

Fabulous stay, we'll be back :)

Lovely and secluded, perfect getaway. Nice outdoor area with fairy lights dotted about to sit around and star gaze. Close to hot springs and brewery. Separate toilet (portaloo) to accommodation, shower inside caravan (although we didn't use on this trip).

Amazing weekend stay in the retro van! Very peaceful on the property and it’s kitted out well with cooking utensils, games etc. The bed was very comfortable and It was walkable to both the hot springs and St Andrews brewery. We would definitely book again.

Cute, cosy and comfortable

We absolutely loved our stay at Back Beach Beryl. The setup offers lots of privacy and there is an awesome fire pit we didn’t get a chance to use. Compact and Cosy, there is everything you might need for a short stay.

I just needed a bed for the night after attending a wedding nearby so the location was perfect. I’m used to camping so the outdoor toilet wasn’t a big issue and it was very clean. The bed was very comfortable, only a double but fine for me on my own. My biggest issue was the possums that kept running across the roof of the van throughout the night. I really just needed a bed for the night so didn’t get to experience the surrounds at all. Overall, it was a good experience, albeit still a little pricey for what you get, but the alternative was double the price so I’m not complaining.
