Fabulous location and very nice accommodation

Great location. Would have preferred a cook top/ kitchen rather than kitchenette. Full set of bed sheets would have been preferred not just bottom/ fitted sheet. Everything else fabulous!

Thoroughly enjoyable experience from communication with the hosts to the end of our stay!

This little cottage is on a lovely, private property in Fingal - not far from the hot springs that we were visiting early the next morning. The overnight stay was for my daughter and I and we absolutely loved it. The hosts were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We'd picked up some essentials from the supermarket for dinner so the kitchenette was perfect for what we needed - a microwave, kettle and fridge. Such a bonus to find milk, orange juice, a fresh loaf of bakery bread (sooo yummy!) and all the condiments we needed, including quality breakfast cereals and conserves. The decor was tasteful, homely and I will definitely return with the hubby/friends in the future as we pop down here overnight a couple of times a year. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience - I only wish we'd stayed longer.

Quiet and peaceful

This is our third or fourth stay at The Fingal Farm. We really enjoy the quiet peaceful nature of the place. The little kitchenette is handy, nice selection of breakfast provisions, bathroom facilities good, comfortable beds and short drive to the Peninsula Hot Springs. Perfect.

A perfect location to explore the Mornington Peninsula and such a beautiful property. Nothing but the sounds of nature of a night The Fingal Farm is a short distance to some of the areas amazing golf courses and around the corner from St Andrews Beach Brewery where you find a great assortment of meals and local brews. Gunamatta surf beach is also close. The property is well appointed and could accommodate up to 4 with two x double/queen beds in two separate rooms. It has a basic kitchenette and our host Melanie provided some fresh bread,spreads, cereals, juice, milk and coffee/tea. We were two friends just doing an overnight while playing golf but I have already told my wife that we need to go stay longer and explore more of what the area has to offer.. Thank You Melanie..

Beautiful location, very homely and absolutely wonderful hosts!

The property was beautifully kept and the views were stunning. Everything was exceptionally clean and tidy and well looked after. It had everything we could have asked for and more! The hosts were amazing and went the extra mile. I asked for a short note, just to welcome my mum on her first trip to Australia and they left us a lovey bottle of champagne on ice to go with it! It was so greatly appreciated!

Exceptional

Every thing was well organised, as soon as you stepped into the cottage it felt warm and welcoming. Having the fridge stocked with the jug of real milk and juice and the variety of breakfast was awesome.

Very cosy cottage with a great outlook. One bed is in the living area and one bed is in a separate bedroom with the bathroom but this didn’t worry us. Great location. We had a lovely stay.
