Long weekend stay 2022
bbq bottle emptied - we had planned to cook on the for the weekend and could not.
Electric stove very basic .
Heating very insufficient with remote control very hard to use
Run out of toilet paper with only 1.5 roll available for 5 people 3 days
Fridge freezer still had food from previous occupant , mess under the bed meant no one had vacuumed ☹️ Couches were dirty.
Bathroom amenities were a bit smelly
Overall we enjoyed Philip island
But accomodation was average , at best.

It was nice to get away.
It would have been helpful if there was a matress for the portacot. If I had know I would have brought my own. My daughter was very unsettled without a mattress. We had to cover the base of the cot with a blanket then a sheet.

House is in a great position close to the beach 5 min walk, 20 min walk to the shops
House is in a great position, it would have been great to have had an outside broom to sweep the gravel of the decking to keep this from coming inside and a plastic rake to clean the gravel after the dogs had toileted. As we stayed during COVID19 I did expect the house to be cleaned a little more thoroughly. Overall the house was in a good spot and my family and I enjoyed our stay, it was great to be able to bring our two furry family members.
