Great to be able to walk everywhere. The house itself is almost new and is quiet, being the rear of two detached townhouses. The cleanliness was excellent, and everything we needed was supplied, along with instructions. ##### Anne B.

So much so, that we booked an extra night! The house is terrific. We were comfortable and had access to all of the mod cons. A two minute walk had us at the main street and a few minutes more had us at the beach river. The teenagers surfed, fished, and generally lazed about. The rest of us switched off from city life and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ##### Melanie B.

We parked our car in the garage and didn’t use it again until we left. House was exactly as photographed online- clean, large, well organised and had all that we needed. Enclosed outdoor area was great for our dog although the weather wasn’t really suitable for us to sit out there. Can imagine in summer it would be brilliant! Barwon heads itself is full of fab cafes, restaurants, clothing and homewares shops, not to mention great walks along the beach. ##### Sharyn M.
