I found this gorgeous property, happen to be boutique accommodation, It consists of 4 bedrooms,Three bathrooms, Formal Lounge, Two Living Areas, Formal Dining, Private Study, Gourmet Kitchen, Indoor BBQ kitchen plus outdoor BBQ area, Sunroom, Balcony, Swimming Pool, Patio, Separate Sauna and bathroom, Magnificent Gardens Swan Bay & Port Phillip Bay Views, Pool room comprising of full bathroom, sauna and pool, kitchen. It originally built in 1865 for Rev Henry J Wilkinson as the parsonage to the adjoining St Georges Church in Queenscliff. Looks like you can rent this whole house to yourself..
