Short get away. Wish it was longer
The home was well layed out in a quiet part of Barwon Heads. All amenities provided, fresh modern decor and comfy beds. It was well suited to us — three friends with two dogs but is also a great place for couples or families. Would love to go back and spend more time there. Not far to walk to the river and boardwalk with beautiful bird song. Lots to do in Barwon Heads and surrounds as well

Weekend refresh
This property was perfect for the weekend getaway with the sunny spring weather.
This house was very clean, had a lovely display home smell about it and was drenched in natural sunlight. The private front yard which is landscaped well has a zen feeling. The location is quite and a very short walk to the lake. The shops are a 2 minute drive, however the beach is more closer to 10 minutes. Overall we loved this place and was one of the best places we have rented .

Lovely clean modern comfortable town house
We booked the property for the weekend and loved it. Weather wasn’t great so we turned on the fire and relaxed inside. The owners have made sure the property has everything to make sure you are really comfortable. Property is nicely decorated. We cooked a few simple meals and everything we needed was in the kitchen.
Would highly recommend and we would definitely book again

Fourth home
I have stayed at Barwon Heads and definitely the best, especially with a small dog. Adult family were with me for part of the time and they were also impressed. Beds super comfortable and only thing missing was the instructions on how to use the dishwasher. Thanks to the owners for creating such a welcoming holiday home.

Exceptional house
The house was sensational; immaculate, spacious and tasteful. And thoughtful! An absolute dream to stay in. The location was a cycle or car side away from the town and beaches. The communication with the property manager was non existent. I emailed asking for another night and had no response which was a real shame. And there were a couple of small things the cleaner missed, but honestly no biggy.
Absolutely LOVED our stay here! THE ultimate in pet friendly and family friendly accommodation!!
