Easy check-in process, generous yard and outdoor deck areas. Unfortunately some kitchen utensils weren't clean, shower door was difficult to open and fragile (any more force would have broken the hinge off the wall). Bedroom carpet not ideal for those suffering from allergies.

Boys weekend
Property was great, location was central to all our activities at Phillip island. Firepit and pool table were a big hit.
