A place to pause
Prom views is a beautiful place to pause. We cosied up by the fire in the evenings, walked to the local lookouts and beaches, took drives to nearby towns, beaches and the prom. A great spot to explore south Gippsland if you want somewhere a little more remote. Property manager was great, responsive to concerns and accomodating of our fur baby too.

3 Day Getaway
We had a wonderful 3 days at Shearwater. The house was perfect for us and did not disappoint from what we could see online. We really couldn't fault it in terms of cleanliness and functionality. The kitchen was very well stocked with essentials as well as every utensil and food prep item we needed. Had a lovely couple of nights on the balcony enjoying the views and the stars after dinner and the back yard served us well for a few games of Kubb. A big Thanks to Fleur who communicated brilliantly and even set up a spare bed in case we had a snorer in the group! Very thoughtful. Looking forward to our next stay!

Shearwater is simply beautiful, particularly upstairs, with views of the Prom and plenty of space for everyone. Extremely clean - the kitchen was definitely the best equipped out of all the holiday accommodation we have stayed in. There is a child gate at the top of the stairs which we really appreciated with a very active 2 year old! Beds are very comfy. Located in a quiet area close to lots of great walking tracks. We will definitely be back. Thanks Fleur for all of your helpful advice and information leading up to and during our stay!

Shearwater Review
Shearwater is the perfect accommodation for this location. It has everything that you need for a holiday with excellent quality. The house offers two living areas offering flexibility for families or a group of friends. The resources shared by the manager of things to do in the area was fantastic and it was sent in a timely manner that allowed for prior planning and a sense of excitement. Shearwater was exceptionally clean, stylish, comfortable and the amenities, decking, fireplace were enjoyed by all and contributed to a relaxing holiday for all. The house and the Gippsland area are a well-found treasure. Thank-you!
