Holiday house

Newly renovated, Coolum Cottage is situated at St Leonards - one and a half hours' drive from Melbourne via Geelong.

We welcome well behaved dogs and kids who have a very large, secure garden to play in - including swings and a sandpit with buckets and spades supplied.

The Cottage is fully self contained for short and longer getaways and has that distinct holiday feel from the moment you arrive.

There is ducted heating to all rooms and air conditioning in the lounge/ dining and kitchen, a modern bathroom, comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchen for cooking and dining.

If you're bringing older relatives, we have safety grab rails installed in the bathroom and toilet plus a bathboard to enable easier access to the bath/ shower. We want them to take a break, not break a leg.

Enjoy drinks on the back deck while the kids and dog play cricket or footy, have a BBQ dinner and watch the pelicans fly overhead - Coolum Cottage is right on their flight path.

And if the weather is a bit nippy outside, there is a TV, DVD, stereo, plenty of books and magazines to pass the time away in the warmth inside.

If you're an avid golfer, the St Leonards Golf Club is nearby and is one of the numerous courses easily accessible by car on the Bellarine.

If you're a wine buff, there are plenty of excellent wineries throughout the Peninsula to spend your time exploring.

St Leonards offers a great range of eateries from traditional fish n chips to pizza and pasta. Or wander down to the St Leonards Hotel for a meal in the beer garden or dinner in Tides Restaurant.

Coolum Cottage offers the same beach holiday you had as a kid - spending time with family and only thinking of Melbourne when you see the city on the far, far shores across Swan Bay.
