Hear the Roar of the Ocean
we love this because…
When we plan a group getaway with friends, space, where we all come together, is on the top of our list.
CAPRI HOUSE has the ultimate kitchen entertaining space to hang out in. We love to open the large glass doors and bring the outside in. With a glass of bubbly in hand, we spend most of our time relaxing in the sunshine on the outdoor lounge.
The kitchen is ‘to die for’ and we can cook up a storm wishing it was in our own house so we could be the envy of our friends.
In winter our group snuggles up in the leather lounge in front of the roaring fire, watching movies and chatting about life.
For fresh air and exercise, we walk across the road to a track through the sand dunes. This takes us to Rye Ocean Beach and we watch the surfers mastering the waves. Walking the length of the beach we watch the waves crash against the shore. It’s so invigorating to experience the power of the sea air. Its always relaxing reconnecting with nature.
For dinner or lunch, we head to St Andrew’s Beach Brewery and its busy vibe. Book one of the old horse stables for your group getaway experience and try a paddle of beer. The best coffee can be found at Hunter Cafe and Store in the small set of shops at Dundas Street a 15-minute walk away.
PAWfect
What fun! a new house to visit that lets four-legged friends like me sleep inside.
The beach nearby is National Park and I can’t walk there even on a lead so my hoomans take me to the many leash free beaches and parks in the area.
Yay! a garden with tall fences to keep me safe. Love the trees and bushes, there are lots of interesting smells. Are those possums in the trees?
And there’s a special basket just for me. No way!...

Additional Information
HOUSE DETAILS
The central hub of this house would have to be the beautiful large kitchen and dining area, with its vaulted ceilings and feature pendant lights. The fully equipped kitchen is an entertainers dream with ample bench space, walk in pantry, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, sandwich press and large 900mm oven and stove. As for coffee, yes... we have you covered. There is a DeLonghi pod machine for you caffeine addicts, though you'll need to bring your own pods. There is a breakfast bar also, with two timber stools, encouraging conversations over dinner prep, whether you are cooking up a storm or serving up some local takeaway!
There is a beautiful large dining table with seating for 8, overlooking the outdoor deck. In fact, the bifold doors to the deck open up the entire space to the outdoors, giving the space a real resort feel. Space is large, yet private, though, with a lull in the conversation, you will be able to hear the roar of the ocean wafting through. It's unlikely though that quiet will prevail for long as space encourages long conversation and renewed relationships over good food and wine. There is a reverse cycle split system air conditioner located in the kitchen/dining room to keep the area a pleasant temperature all year round.
In the next room is a cosy lounge with log fire, also overlooking the deck. This room also has bifold doors, so can be opened right up in the warmer months or kept cosy by the fire in winter. There is a large wall mounted TV here with Telstra TV, giving you access to your Stan or Netflix accounts as well as catchup TV. The kids will enjoy lounging on beanbags and playing music through the Sonos wireless speaker. There are also some board games in the kitchen (above the fridge) for good old fashioned entertainment - will it be kids vs adults or girls vs boys?
Bedrooms
The master bedroom is located at the front of the property and has a king size bed, walk in robe and an ensuite. There is another reverse cycle split system air conditioner in the master bedroom. The other two bedrooms are located at the other end of the house, off the lounge room. One of the bedrooms has a queen size bed, built in wardrobe and wall heater. The other bedroom, more suited to kids, has 2 bunk beds and a build in wardrobe.
Bathrooms
This property has two bathrooms one ensuite and one main bathroom. The main bathroom has an open walk-in shower with large rainfall shower head and hand basin. There is also a separate toilet with its own hand basin.
Laundry
There is a full laundry in the property with washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board.
Outdoor Living
A wonderful feature of this property is the large, elevated and secluded outdoor deck. This is almost the very first area that greets you as you arrive at the property. From the carport, is a gate that leads you up to a few stairs, onto the deck and to the front door. The deck runs almost the length of the house from the front door, past the kitchen/dining area to the back of the lounge room. From there, another set of stairs lead you back down into the back yard which is where you'll find a lovely outdoor shower. The perfect spot to de-sand after a day on the beach. The deck itself is enclosed by trees and shrubs on two sides and a timber screen on the third side. The house opens itself up to the outdoors with its bi-fold doors from the dining area and lounge room. On the deck is a large outdoor lounge, complete with fresh herb planters and an enormous timber coffee table. Bring on the nibblies! Make the most of being in this amazing food and wine region and sample the local flavours. There is enough room here to spread out a magnificent charcuterie board or cheese platter to die for and a glass or two of your favourite Mornington Peninsula wine. Of course, there's a BBQ too, if you have enough appetite left for a real dinner.

POOLS AND SPAS
Settings for any pool or spa are automated and set by our pool and spa technician before all guest arrivals. Settings including temperature are preset at a safe and comfortable level and designed to maximum sanitisation. Any temperature changes made by the guest can lead to ineffective sanitisation levels and pose a health risk. Any guest who tampers with the pool or spa settings will lose their bond.
Recommended length of usage for a spa is 30 minutes and all guests using pools and spas do so at their own risk.
Shower and wash thoroughly with soap before entering the spa
If you have any type of infection please consider the health of others by not using the spa.
As stated above in "Noise, Parties, Behaviour" use of the pool the pool after 10:30 pm and before 8 am is strictly prohibited.
Should the pool be unusable for up to 24 hours due to routine maintenance, no compensation will be given. We endeavour to ensure that maintenance disruptions are kept to a minimum.
Never allow the water level to drop below the filter box, this could cause irreparable damage (damage caused will be deducted from your security bond – heater replacement is up to $4000.00)

Food or drink is NOT permitted in the pool. Glass is strictly prohibited as broken glass in the pool will require the pool to be drained and cleaned – $1000.00 fee)
Pets are strictly prohibited from entering the pool and pool area. Pets in a pool are equivalent to a large number of people (30 – 40) being in a pool. It will immediately affect the chlorine levels and make the pool unsafe to swim in. The water will become cloudy and pool maintenance and cleaning supplies will be necessary to rebalance the level. The pool may then not be available to you or following guests during a period of time. Compensation to following guests is costly and all expenses will be deducted from your bond.
CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES WHEN IN THE SPA AND POOL
Many bathers are not designed for use in pools and spas and can easily be damaged by the use of sunscreen, heat, rough surfaces (including timber decking, pavers and some pool tiles) and the chemicals used to maintain water sanitisation. While our pools and spas are maintained to correct chemical levels by our pool and spa technician, we cannot control the other factors and so we suggest that you don't wear new or expensive bathers in our pools and spas to minimise the risk of damage to your bathers. Should you decide to wear new or expensive bathers anyway, that is entirely up to you, but we will not be liable for replacement or reimbursement of the cost of your bathers due to damage obtained whilst using our pools and/or spas.

POOLS AND SPAS
Settings for any pool or spa are automated and set by our pool and spa technician before all guest arrivals. Settings including temperature are preset at a safe and comfortable level and designed to maximum sanitisation. Any temperature changes made by the guest can lead to ineffective sanitisation levels and pose a health risk. Any guest who tampers with the pool or spa settings will lose their bond.
Recommended length of usage for a spa is 30 minutes and all guests using pools and spas do so at their own risk.
Shower and wash thoroughly with soap before entering the spa
If you have any type of infection please consider the health of others by not using the spa.
As stated above in "Noise, Parties, Behaviour" use of the pool the pool after 10:30 pm and before 8 am is strictly prohibited.

Pets are strictly prohibited from entering the pool and pool area. Pets in a pool are equivalent to a large number of people (30 – 40) being in a pool. It will immediately affect the chlorine levels and make the pool unsafe to swim in. The water will become cloudy and pool maintenance and cleaning supplies will be necessary to rebalance the level. The pool may then not be available to you or following guests during a period of time. Compensation to following guests is costly and all expenses will be deducted from your bond.
CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES WHEN IN THE SPA AND POOL
Many bathers are not designed for use in pools and spas and can easily be damaged by the use of sunscreen, heat, rough surfaces (including timber decking, pavers and some pool tiles) and the chemicals used to maintain water sanitisation. While our pools and spas are maintained to correct chemical levels by our pool and spa technician, we cannot control the other factors and so we suggest that you don't wear new or expensive bathers in our pools and spas to minimise the risk of damage to your bathers. Should you decide to wear new or expensive bathers anyway, that is entirely up to you, but we will not be liable for replacement or reimbursement of the cost of your bathers due to damage obtained whilst using our pools and/or spas.
