A short but very enjoyable stay. Great accommodation for all nine of us. Highly recommended for a family break.

For 12 good friends this property is a perfect place to have fun together while having space for everyone to do their own thing. This is the second time I have stayed here and recommend the property. It is well kept and the pool and tennis court are very social in size. Tiniest niggle - no coffee pods! We got over that quickly :-). Thanks for making everything easy Harry and for sending back a pair of glasses someone left

Hired venue for my daughter's wedding. Had family over from the UK. This venue made a special event even more special. 10 minutes from dromana estate winery. Had an excellent stay

Our family had such a comfortable stay. We didn’t need to leave the property at all, so much to do between the pool, spa and tennis court. House was large so plenty of space for us all to spread out. Everyone really enjoyed their stay and we would love to come back to this property!

Had an amazing time for a family birthday. The property was huge and the pool and tennis court were amazing. Check in was smooth and will definitely be back

Fantastic well equipped property for large families and groups. Great areas both indoor and outdoor for entertaining with lots of room. Excellent pool and spa facilities.

Merricks North Retreat is a fabulous house for family holiday, good location, great facilities, comfortable accommodation. One of our best family holidays! Only criticisms are that check in is quite late @ 4 pm but the standard of cleanliness and preparation did not reflect the 5 star price.

We had a fantastic stay at Merricks North Retreat for our wedding. It was absolutely perfect for our family coming from overseas and for getting ready the morning of our wedding which was being held at a nearby venue. The property was immaculate, homely and huge. Well stocked with the necessities and presented. Awesome views and location - it really did make our wedding experience. We would book again - highly recommend!

What an amazing place to stay with family and friends for the weekend. The pool, hot tub and tennis court are incredible and so well kept. The kitchen was an entertainers dream, completely stocked with everything you would need including 2 large bbq's! Beds were super comfortable and having all linen provided was fantastic. Harry was incredibly easy to communicate with and was so understanding of everything I asked for - I could not have asked for a better host. Thank you again!

A wonderful group of friends needed a place to gather - this magical place is perfect. Space for both time all together and smaller intimate conversations. The sun streams in warming even the frosty mornings well. Thank you for your beautiful place, we all now have more wonderful memories to share.

The property was as lovely as the photos. It was comfortable and had everything we needed.

There was lots of room for our family. We didn’t need to have outside activities to do for the weekend there was plant for us to do at the property. I really recommend hiring a recommended chef to provide an in house meal!

Our week was a dream, so relaxing. Exceeded our expectations. Thank you and hope to stay there again in the near future.

We had a great time at Merricks North. Perfect for 12 adults.

This was our 2nd stay at this holiday home, our first being Jan 2019. I left a review for that holiday too, so hopefully you can look it up. This holiday was just as good as the first and what I said then, is still valid now. A fantastic holiday venue for a multi-generational family, or a large group. The pool area is a great social and focus area during the day. Loved it.

We had an excellent stay with 2 other families with children. Can't fault a thing. We will be back!

Beautiful, spacious, well-located, and has all the home living details you could want. We’d love to come back!

This house is in the perfect location to explore the Mornington peninsula. It’s also the perfect place to stay and relax and enjoy the well equipped house with beautiful views from all windows. The only negative was that there wasn’t any central heating but the wood fire soon kept the whole house warm and electric blankets and heaters are provided in some bedrooms. Would definately return and stay longer.

We had amazing time with friends celebrating our anniversary . Such a great property for a large group... thanks for a wonderful stay

We had a fabulous time at the property, beautiful house with plenty of amenities. Hope to go back in summer to make use of the fabulous pool! Would definitely recommend.

The property was fabulous and provided the perfect place to kick back and relax with friends. The set up works really well. The only problem was that our stay wasn't long enough :)

The property is simply beautiful. The layout of the house was so well thought through with all the living spaces in one wing and the bedrooms in the other ensuring both privacy and entertainment.The pool and tennis court were a constant draw card over the weekend for both the kids and adults. The consensus from the group was we will book again.

Loved our Christmas break with family and friends...the cooking and meals were compromised by the oven not working, and having to cook all meals on the bbq.

Great house but had issues with host

My family and our friends had a long awaited get away to Merricks North Retreat after the Victorian lock down. The property was just as described, homely, cosy, comfortable with every thing we needed. We cooked fabulous dinners each night and gathered around the fire. The hot tub was a hit with the kids and adults and little extras like the coffee machine with pods and electric blankets on all beds made it so enjoyable. The area is gorgeous with many wineries and eateries at your door step. The little beaches and local shops made it easy to find things to do. Thanks for hosting us! We all want to return in summer to make use of the pool! Lucy

Spacious, very well equipped property. Fantastic pool/hot tub area. Plenty of outdoor seating. Tennis court on site. Good location. Bright bedrooms with varying degrees of comfort on the beds. Good kitchen plus outside BBQ. Three sitting areas inside, so plenty of room for large families. Three bathrooms plus one extra toilet. Showers lack decent water pressure so a little disappointing if you like a good shower. The property uses tank water so if you go at the end of a long, dry summer that could possibly be an issue. There is an office on site which was staffed by several members Monday to Friday. This is seperate to the house next to the tennis court. We only had one small issue with the gas running out on our first night which was dealt with quickly and efficiently the following day. Overall, comfortable, great stay and would recommend for a large group.

The property is clean and tidy with so much natural light! It had everything we needed from vases to platters and all the right utensils. Very well laid out with bedrooms and lounge/dining opening to central courtyard. We enjoyed the grounds (lots of lovely lavender) and pool area. Great location and spacious home with games and books and pretty good amenities. The Stayz website incorrectly stipulates that all rooms have queen/double beds but the owner was very responsive and helpful with my queries and confirmed one of the bedrooms is only a single bed. The house is very homely with lots of detail to furnishings and ornaments etc. This was a 7 girl vacay for 5 nights and we all thoroughly enjoyed it and will certainly book again. Thank you George :-)

Tonnes of activities just on the property alone, no need to go beach!

We had the most fabulous 2 weeks in this gorgeous home with our large family. The house was perfect, large enough for our family of 5 together with our extended family members, including young children and grandparents. Plenty of space for everyone with 3 separate living areas and very comfortable bedrooms, although we spent most of our time in the gorgeous garden as the weather was perfect. The location is perfect, an easy drive to the wineries and towns of the peninsula, the tennis court and swimming pool made staying at home ideal. The owners were a real pleasure to deal with and we would definitely love to rent this home again.

Beautiful country house, well fitted out and lots of space for our group of 12 friends wanting to relax and play tennis. We will be back!

This accommodation was fantastic and really comfortable. The house is fully equipped and has plenty of room - we used the location for a work team building trip and it was very successful. The house lent itself well to group activities and the kitchen was fully equipped, making it very easy to cater for a large group. Communication from the owner was fantastic and the whole process was very easy. Really beautiful location, thoroughly enjoyed - thanks again!
