Set in an incredible location with breathtaking panoramic bay views from its private clifftop landing, this iconic property offers a unique opportunity to experience a slice of Victorian history. Built circa 1887, the cottage was originally the home of Fort Nepean’s Master Gunner, and went on to house military personnel who fortified the area during WWI & WWII. Surrounded by original bunkers and gun emplacements, the cottage has been lovingly restored and now offers a truly unique stay in Portsea.
All profits from stays at this property go to Portsea Camp, who support disadvantaged and special needs children and their families.

Summary: The cottage is set on a cliff top behind a gun emplacement at the rear of Portsea Camp and only has spectacular views from the viewing area above this emplacement and not from the cottage itself. The property wasn’t ready when we arrived at 2pm. The beds hadn’t been stripped and remade. The property has a carpark at the front which fills as locals head to the beach every day, traipsing across the Portsea Camp grounds. The camp goers are loud and intrusive and the maintenance people retrieve ride on mowers and other equipment from the bunker at the back of the camp, where you’re staying. We even had a maintenance man ask to clean some of the gutters on the cottage and the noise from the compressor was too much for my special needs daughter. We ended up leaving a day early. This property is not the incredible private spot I was lead to believe. The plus side is that the beach is lovely and close.
