Rescued...Rehabilitated...Rehomed: Ocean Blue Supports Rescued With Love

Ocean Blue Coastal Retreats is proud to support the Melbourne based charity Rescued With Love. Rescued With Love is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers who take in small dogs from pounds and shelters and look after them in their own homes. The dogs have their vet work done and learn (or re-learn) how to be well mannered and loved pets, then they are adopted out to good homes.


Since our pet friendly accommodation on Mornington Peninsula welcomes dogs of all kinds, the work Rescued With Love does is close to our hearts!


Charli Enjoys Our Pet Friendly Accommodation


The difference Rescued With Love makes to abandoned dogs’ lives is extraordinary. You can read more about the care and attention received on their Dog Diary blog.


We help out whenever we can with their fundraisers and we often have new owners bring their rescued dogs to stay at our pet friendly accommodation on Mornington Peninsula  for some added pooch pampering.


Just recently we were pleased to host Charli an ex-Rescued With Love dog and her new owners who stayed for a weekend in St Ives, one of our Blue Moon Cottages. It was Charli’s first holiday and she loved the freedom of  the big back yard for playing ball. She also enjoyed dipping her paws in the ocean, though she wasn’t quite sure what to make of it at first!


Support Rescued With Love


Dogs like Charli who are adopted by loving families are Rescued With Love’s success stories, but there are many other dogs that desperately need the support of kind hearted benefactors. The following are some of the ways that you can help support Rescued With Love:




  • donation;




  • membership;




  • knit a dog sweater;




  • buy a RWL scarf, t.shirt or hoodie;




  • buy animal themed jewellery;




  • sponsor a foster dog.




You can find out more details about Rescued With Love and other organisations we support via our pet friendly accommodation Mornington Peninsula. We look forward to seeing you and your pets soon at Ocean Blue!

Mornington Peninsula Luxury Accommodation Ensures A Warm Welcome

It’s always important to us to receive feedback from our guests about their stay in our Mornington Peninsula luxury accommodation. A while back we published a post about what guests say about our holiday rentals and one item that stood out is how much guest love the welcome they receive at our pet friendly accommodation.


First of all we pay attention to the small details, little things that help you to relax into your holiday such as:




  • turning on the lights in anticipation of your arrival;




  • making sure the property is adequately heated or cooled;




  • playing soothing music.




What’s In Your Welcome Pack?


On arrival at our Mornington Peninsula luxury accommodation you’ll also find a small welcome tray set up, we know how nice it is to relax with a hot drink after a long, tiring journey!


You’ll find refreshments such as tea, coffee etc. plus something taken from the garden. We put fresh milk in the fridge and the coffee is freshly ground for you to enjoy.


Since our beach houses and cottages are fully self-contained we’ve also included a basket of kitchen essentials: foil, gladwrap, washing liquid, new dishcloth, bin bags, scourer, gloves etc. All those necessary items that you need in a kitchen but don’t want to buy when you’re on holiday.


Good Value For Money


Our guests say a top reason for staying at Mornington Peninsula luxury accommodation are the extras included in the price, items such as:




  • fresh bedding and towels;




  • toiletries;




  • free WiFi;




  • provisions for pets;




  • entertainment: books, magazines, DVDs etc.




We pride ourselves on making your stay as comfortable as possible, so if there’s anything you need don’t hesitate to ask!
