    This is a charming house with great history and modern amenities. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. And only a short walk from the shops and restaurants.

    We love love loved staying at federation house. The house had everything we needed; very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, fire wood and so much more. The house is stunning, lots of windows and doors to open, lots of light and room for two families with kids to spread out. Perfect location, 5 min walk to the beach and even closer to the shops. Will definitely stay here again.

    Property condition:

    a guest from Mornington, VIC recommends this vacation rental

    The reverse cycle heaters were not working due to 2 being broken and 2 others not working properly due to filters being full of dust .
    Lucky we had the open fire which provided some warmth the first night .
    The power went out the first night as well and could not find a working torch .we had to buy electric heaters from the supermarket the second day to warm the rooms up . The baby with us woke up shivering through the night.

    Michelle M from Healesville, VIC does not recommend this vacation rental.

    This is a lovely home, close to shops and the beach. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. But there’s a catch. There’s no door to the main ensuite, toilet or shower! The rest of the home is beautifully appointed. It’s such a shame that this privacy factor has been omitted in this room.
    The property management were very helpful through all stages of the booking process and stay.

    Jean W from Melbourne, VIC recommends this vacation rental

    This property was perfect for our group of two grandmothers, two teenagers and us. The floor plan worked really well with both grannies having their own comfy beds and ensuites. The house is period in style, feels like home and had all the modern comforts with TVs in the living room and bedrooms, wifi, Netflix and outdoor seating. The location is excellent being just one street in from the main road and closer to the better end of Thompsons Avenue. The agent was very easy to deal with.
