This property was an absolute dream of relaxation amongst the stunning lake & vines. We realized when we arrived that we actually didn’t want to leave the accommodation & instead wanted to soak in the peaceful lake views. This accom would be beautiful all year around.

Thank you for your review. The Villas are great all year round- but I love the wood fireplace and spa in the colder months!! I hope you choose to return.

Great stay!
We had such a great stay - the Villa has lots of space and a cosy terrace for breakfast in the sun or barbecue in the evening. Can definitely recommend.

Crittenden Villas
Gorgeous little villas on the vineyard. Easy access to all of the splendours of the Mornington Peninsula. Accommodation has everything you could need. Easy booking process and thoughtful host, who provides local insights to help you get the best out of the area. Highly recommended.

Villa in rural setting with lake and vineyard.
A very pleasant stay with good amenities. However, as a seasoned worldwide traveler, it did not represent value for money. Overpriced.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. We strongly urge all guests before arriving to book the restaurant (this is sent in 2 emails with a link). We offer a high-end product that represents very good value for money in comparison to most other offerings on the Mornington Peninsula.

We are prepared to give point scores but not to write your material for site propaganda. Was worth 4.8 We never saw or interacted with staff.
Response from Owner/Manager on 19 Mar 2016
Thank you for taking the time to give us a score of 5/5. Please note, that we provide pin codes for entry to save our guests the hassle of picking up keys, etc. I can assure you that we have staff available on-site from Monday- Friday 9am-5pm should personal interaction be required.

peaceful, relaxing
Comfortable and relaxing right on the water with the ducks. Ideal to get away from everything and enjoy a wine on the deck. As there are only 3 villas and they are quite spacious, it was very calming.
Response from Owner/ manager on 19 Mar 2016
I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and found it calming. We provide breakfast for the first morning consisting of eggs, bacon, tomatoes, local muesli, bread with condiments, milk, local apple juice, a bowl of fruit, coffee machine and cereal.

very relaxing, lovely view
The facilities are excellent, The view of lake lovely. The convection microwave not easy to work. I could not log on the Wi Fi. I enjoed the stay very much.
Response from Owner / manager on 19 Mar 2016
Thank you for providing us with your feedback. The convection microwave is a new model and instructions are available next to the unit. We do not have WIFI yet in the villas as we are not able to get broadband due to the remote location. We are working on this with Telstra.
