great stay

We had a lovely stay , the location couldn't be more perfect. The house had everything you need however my one recommendation would be for a hair dryer :) I stayed with my husband but with the amount of beds it would be ideal for family holidays. We will come back , the owner was very supportive and easy to deal with during the booking process and after.

Affordable Seaside Getaway

Our family of 5 plus pet cat soaked up sand and sun on surrounding beaches. Well located on esplanade between Portarlington and Indented Head, suits walkers, bike riders and anglers, those prepared to get out and about. House has basic amenities and layout suited to active people, overall reminiscent of simple holiday houses of yester year. The host is very helpful and keen for guests to enjoy their stay

Excellent location. House very comfortable and well appointed- although there could have been a couple of bigger cooking pots. Also third bed could have been made up. The owner was very easy to contact. We will have no hesitation in recommending this property to others.

This property has everything you need to be comfortable however it could use a little TLC. Plenty of games for kids and the polished were easy to clean. The location and view were Fantastic and the neighbours were great. We loved sitting on the porch and taking it all in. The outdoor shower was very handy to wash off after a swim. In all, we we had a great holiday and would go back stay again.

House was not very clean with dust/dog hair, had a musty smell which was better with opening the doors and windows although the back bedroom windows couldn't be opened. Shower had black mold and laundry sink needed a good scrub. No clean brooms or mops to clean up with, kitchen table and chairs needed washing as did the plates cups cutlery, coffee machine had left over moldy coffee pods. House really needs a good spring clean and going over inside and out. Ocean views as promised was our only highlight.
