This cosy cottage is located in Blairgowrie, on the back beaches of the Mornington Peninsula. Kirwood Coastal is one of the original shacks in Blairgowrie and dates back to the 1940’s. This is a place where you come to slow down, unwind to the sounds of the ocean and reconnect with friends and family. The simplicity of the layout allows for plenty of space to play games, read a book or soak in the timber bathtub. It’s only a short 5 minute walk to the sand dunes of the back beach.

A little slice of heaven is located in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula. Just a hop skip and jump from the most amazing beaches, cafes and parks that this area has to offer. This three-bedroom and one-bathroom home is the perfect spot for any coastal getaway.

The shack has been freshly styled throughout giving it such a coastal homey feel. It has a fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities along with ample street parking. You can sit back in the luxury backyard, entertain the family with a relaxing BBQ, and have the kids play.

If you are looking for privacy - look no further! This wonderfully renovated home offers much to ensure your holiday is well deserved.

The house is in a residential street with surrounding permanent tenants so we only rent to mature guests that will remain respectful to our neighbours. The house is to be used for relaxation-style holidaying, loud parties are prohibited.

Outdoor setting with the fireplace was lovely. Venture up to the top of the sand dunes and look out to the back beach for a great view. Very comfortable and pretty cottage.

The Kirkwood Costal was great, we went down the coast with another small family and shared the home together. Our babies and fur babies loved it! There is a great dog beach in Portsea that our pooch l...oved. This is in the description however we missed it- the only oven in the house is an outdoor oven! Worked a great however was an exercise we hadn’t prepared ourselves for, we bought ingredients to make s’mores so we ate them to make the most of the fire while it was heating up to be used as an oven

Blairgowrie Beach

Blairgowrie Beach

My favourite hidden gem! At low-tide deep rock pools are exposed, if you’re brave jump off the giant rock into the sea.

Blairgowrie Back Beach

The wild side of the Peninsula has beaches aplenty with rockpools and rocky outcrops that meet the sand and waves. Year round these beaches make an exciting spot to visit.

Swimming In Port Phillip Bay

Crystal clear waters and long stretches of sandy beaches make Port Phillip Bay a dream on a hot summers day. Walk
beyond the sandbars into gently lapping waves and cool off.
