Amazing absolute beachfront character filled property.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Brontë. The location is just amazing. The beach straight out the front gate is perfect for families with children. Brontë is old but comfortable and full of character and history. The front deck is so peaceful to sit and enjoy the sound of the ocean and birds. We will be back for sure!

Fantastic historical beachfront property that is close to shops, quiet location and great for my family. I'd love to find out Bronte's origins and the origins of Frankston. What a wonderful little part of Melbourne.

Old cosy

The house is on a lean and only the paint is holding it together. Dont leave food uncovered in the back entrance or kitchen area the ants will invade. The front bedroom mattress belongs in the 19th century.However the owners went the norm to above to supply kitchen utensils.I'm surprised it has passed a building inspection the outdoor shower just runs under the house and the foundations have been undermined

Lovely Old Beach House

My husband and I were really taken with Bronte the moment we saw it. It's in original condition and very quirky. The house is spacious and comfortable with everything you need. The front yard with the deck and table under the trees was magical. The location was second to none- right on the beach and peaceful yet very near to shops and walking trails. . We and our daughter and her partner loved our week at this quintessential Australian seaside house. Communication with the owner was very easy as well..

Historical cottage in great location.

This property is old in close to the original condition but I would describe it as historical. A lovely old cottage in a fantastic location. Clean and cosy. If you are not expecting luxury it is perfect for couples or smallish families. Our 3 Golden Retrievers loved the secure yards. Highly recommended. My only minor issue was having to supply all linen. Understandable during Covid peak but most properties have moved on from that.
