reviews

  • "My family and I had a gorgeous stay at Cabin Cape Schanck. The space is so calming and thoughtfully appointed - the tiny details made us feel so at home. We made use of the fully decked out cooks kitchen, and enjoyed the beautifully scented products and luxurious linens on all the beds. Cape Schanck feels not too far from Melbourne, but nice and close to everything the Peninsula has to offer. We walked to the lighthouse and ventured out to Alba for a soak, although you could easily spend all weekend without leaving the cabin and its stunning garden. We’ll be back for sure!"

  • "Absolutely Amazing accommodation, if only every accommodation was like this place. It was like staying at a well curated boutiqued hotel. From the luxurious amenities to the very detailed information on the house and surrounding area, everything was perfect. Will definitiely be booking this house again soon! Highly recommend and huge thanks to the owners."

  • “Cabin Cape Schank is a lovely house with lots of thoughtful details. We especially loved the well supplied kitchen (all the cooking implements we needed for lots of home made meals), the soft warm lighting, and the incredibly cosy beds!”

  • “The Cape Schanck cabin is incredibly cosy and feels like home from the moment you arrive. I had the most relaxing two-night stay, exploring the area, playing games by the fire, and cooking delicious meals with fresh local produce. We visited in winter, and I'm already looking forward to coming back in summer!”
