Short 10 min walk to the beach. Waking up to the sound of birds and a view of the majestic eucalyptus tree outside your window is heaven! The Nest is a peaceful place to return to after a day exploring all the Mornington Peninsula has to offer including wineries, restaurants, beaches, galleries and much more. Located in the quiet seaside village of Somers the Nest is a self contained studio apartment on the first floor, which looks out into the treetops of a beautiful native garden. The Nest is simple, comfortable and luxurious where it counts with king-sized bed, beautiful sheets, vintage pieces and premium fittings and fixtures throughout. Also featuring an ensuite bathroom, lounge area, small dining table and a kitchenette with microwave, toaster and bar fridge - the Nest has all you need to make a simple meal or enjoy a cheese platter and some local wine picked up during your day exploring. There is also a BBQ and small outdoor area to enjoy at ground level. There is a designated parking area in front of your entrance.
