Summary:
Apartment One is a large, light-filled apartment with beach views suiting families or groups of 4. Architect designed for holidays, this stunning space offers modern, beautifully styled interiors with room for everyone. (It's a whopping 162 sq/m or 18 squares in the old language). Be the envy of everyone and enjoy uninterrupted views across the Port Phillip Bay.
The Space:
Aquabelle One features a primary king bedroom, plenty of closet space, TV, AC with its own shower en-suite and private terrace. The second bedroom includes two king single beds and even more closet space. The large main bathroom has a walk in shower and bath (perfectly sized for kids) with a separate toilet next door.
Further down the hallway, the lovely view over Port Phillip Bay is revealed beyond the huge kitchen, living and dining area. The kitchen island bench seems to be the place for families and friends to reconnect while prepping meals. And the two 3 seater leather couches provide the comfort for TV viewing or playing a board game or two.
Our fuss free, spacious, contemporary interiors with high ceilings, polished concrete resin floors and 'full size everything' set Aquabelle apart from other accommodation offerings on the Peninsula.
Great views of the bay from the alfresco north-facing terrace. Security parking for two cars. Keyless PIN access entry. Access is via internal stairwell. Complimentary wi-fi, stair-gate, cot, high chair (on request), washer/dryer and laundry sink complete this brilliant family holiday space.
Guest Access:
5 days prior to your stay we will issue you with a 4 digit PIN access code to get you into the carpark (2 car spaces) and the apartment door.
The Neighborhood:
The coastal town of Rye is situated on the popular holiday destination of the Mornington Peninsula, nestled between Rosebud and Blairgowrie.
Point Nepean Road is Rye's main thoroughfare, running parallel to the town's bay beach. The main concentration of shops is located east of Dundas Street and includes a hotel, eateries, a major supermarket and other retailers.
Rye's main beach offers a safe shallow, shoreline ideal for small children. There is a pier, several boat ramps, and attractive foreshore facilities with picnic areas, shelters, playgrounds and walking tracks.
Around a kilometre west of the Rye Jetty is an outcrop of land called White Cliffs. At the base of the cliffs is a reconstructed old Lime Burners Kiln - a reminder of the mid-1800s when the extraction of lime was the area's primary industry. Scenic views along the coast can be enjoyed from lookout above the kiln.
Rye extends southwards across the narrow width of the Mornington Peninsula in this area, right down to the coastline fronting the open waters of Bass Strait. The Mornington Peninsula National Park spans the foreshore here, consisting of scenic walking tracks, rocky coastal features, dunes and pockets of sandy beach. A pathway and steps extends from Tasman Drive down to the sandy bay at Number 16 Beach.
Further south-east along the coast is Rye Ocean Beach, accessed from the southern end of Dundas Street. Officially located within in the small coastal community of St Andrews Beach, the beach and foreshore area also forms part of the Mornington Peninsula National Park, offering wide expanses of sandy beaches and rolling sand dunes covered in native vegetation. The next beach of significance further along the coast is St Andrews Beach which can be accessed via the car park at the end of Paradise Drive. Views can be enjoyed along the coast towards Cape Schanck and its lighthouse.

Car and google maps is the best. But there are many options from public transport to designated drivers available to visitors.
