My family stayed here many years before and wanted to recreate the memory. We already loved the property but it was even better due to the addition of the hot tub!
Matt let us check in early and there was no pressure on check out time. Perfect.
We had a lovely stay at Matt's property. He was kind and communicative throughout the process. It was clean and homely and we made some beautiful memories at the property which had a great firework display on NYE.
We really enjoyed our long weekend at The Rook. Mat was great in providing information about the property. We were 3 couples, two babies and 3 dogs and there was ample room, great yard and two decks to relax on.
It is set back from the beach and shops so we had to drive to them but because of this it feels very secluded and was lovely and quiet at night. You even have sea views from the top deck. We hope to stay again soon!
Fantastic property with a views of the coast. Nicely appointed bedrooms, dining space with views, 2 outdoor terraces and a spa. Central location close to the hot springs
Excellent place. It had everything we needed and more and we were very comfortable during our stay. Bonus was a nice view. Matt was a great host who communicated with ease when we needed anything. Would absolutely recommend!
We loved the rustic and relaxed feel of this property with loads of space to sit back and enjoy the surrounding views, spacious spa and huge decks.
Definitely hope to be back again soon.
From the moment I initially submitted my request I knew I had found the booking for me. Mat was on the ball and a great communicator. His property matched the description perfectly. Had everything my group of 9 could have needed. And the spa, well what can I say, it was exactly what the doctor ordered. A gorgeous property with character and charm, with a modern touch. We cannot wait to visit again. Thanks Mat for creating a property for all to enjoy. Definitely recommend for larger groups, ample space, clean, all amenities and great location. Mat even went above and beyond for a special birthday treat for me, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday girls weekend. Thanks again!
Our group of friends loved staying at this well equiped house - had everything we needed to cook, relax and enjoy the lovely views. With four double bedrooms and one single there was ample space as well as two living areas and two external decks. Would highly recommend this property for anyone wishing to explore the Mornington peninsula or wishing a tranquil getaway. Matt was great and easy to deal with :)
Chosen bc wanted to take the dog to the beach but this house couldnât have been more perfect for teenagers and parents. Two families, adults upstairs and kids downstairs. Perfect. Close to everything but felt like an oasis. Huge enclosed backyard for the dog meant she had a fantastic time too. Mat was easy to communicate with and an excellent host.
The booking process was easy, the house was very comfortable and well presented. The house is a only a short drive to the beach and local shops and cafes. The house is surrounded by lots of greenery and the view of the bay in the distance is a lovely yreat
This is a great property that is well set up and comfortable. Great outdoor spaces overlooking a lovely bush setting. Well located to reach all attractions on the Mornington peninsula easily. Matthew was very responsive and would definitely stay again.
This property was an amazing place to stay in. Tucked away between trees and greenery, the house was perfect for our trip. The upstairs living space provided a cozy feeling, and nothing topped eating dinner on the upper deck while watching the sun set. The house was clean, spacious, and an amazing find. Truly a hidden gem. The host Matt was also incredibly easy to talk to and ensured everything was going swimmingly on our trip. I would easily stay here again.
We were party made up of a family of 4, with children aged 13 and 8, 3 other adults and two dogs. This house was absolutely perfect, with a large, secure garden, upstairs and downstairs decks and living areas, and two good size bathrooms. The upstairs level has panoramic views across the trees to Port Philip bay, so you can watch the cruise ships and freighters make their way up the channel through your wine glass! The house is a welcoming blend of old and new, smart and casual. Smart enough and clean, yet casual enough to provide a welcoming vibe. Mat, the host, was responsive, friendly and flexible. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property to others.

Amazing
Mat was very prompt in answering any queries and the place was amazing for our family. Close drive to shops and hot springs. All in all an amazing house and great host. Will definitely return.
We loved our stay at The Rook. The large upper deck was perfect for drinks on a warm evening and the lower deck a great covered space for the kids to play. A summer breeze flowed right through the house keeping it cool on hot days. Inside had all the amenities and comforts for us to enjoy in an architectural and well fitted out space.
I'v been back and forth between Melbourne and the peninsula for many years, mainly surfing, fishing and holiday. Currently i'm spending a lot more time in Melbourne and interstate for business commitments. So we don't get here as much as wed like at the moment.
The property absolutely is amazing and something I definitely want to hold onto for MY kids and grand kids, until that day it seems a big shame not to share it with others. With the advent of digital tech the process of renting is really straight forward so its a good time to get the property out there.
This is one of the largest properties in hills North facing over Tootgarook and the bay. Most of the area is flat however this part of "The Rook" is a high ridge line that offers both a sanctuary nestled into the trees and an outlook over tree tops to the bay. Best of both worlds!!
