Lovely little modern house, beautiful bedrooms, great open plan kitchen with all working appliances. Best part was we were able to bring our dog this time - has a lovely garden, trees and lawn with secure fences all around for the dog to play in. Look forward to coming back again soon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our family weekend getaway in such a lovely and impeccably clean house with a decent backyard for our pup to play and explore. Everything was as the pictures show … thank you Vicki and team. We look forward to coming again😊
Property is well appointed and has been refurbished not long ago. Good location and low maintenance stay, property manager was very responsive and it's a nice spot.
Beautifully maintained property. Extremely clean and comfortable, with every facility available. Lovely to use the wood fire in this cold weather. Would love to visit again.
Lovely stay evthing was great for our family Grandparents kids and grandchild. Fire and BBQ were good ,all bathrooms and kitchen renovated/updated ,though i would be good to update the shower head and taps ,also not much pressure! Also had power cut every evening for 2-5 seconds?Overall very pleasant and will book again.
We had such a great time at the house. The property was very clean, tidy and the kitchen was very well equipped. We were all very impressed and were very comfortable. The children loved playing in the big garden. The bbq and the fireplace were such a great addition to the house. Lovely stay. We would definitely be happy to rent this place again.
Lovely neat and well equipped family home. We were a family of Mum, Dad, Daughter, Son-in-law and 8 month old baby. The 3 bedrooms, one bathroom and one en-suite bathroom worked well. The native garden and lawn area was a very relaxing space for play or relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day. Old Dunsborough is beautiful area full of natural bushland and close to beautiful calm beaches suitable for babies and dogs. Dunsborough town is only a short drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this to others.
Lovely house, really good location, great board games, comfortable beds, snuggly blankets, kitchen equipment really good.
Kids had great time
Most disappointed about communications with property manager on morning of departure.
Great property immaculately clean and exactly as listed. The house had everything we needed and dealing with Vicki was prompt and easy. Highly recommend for families would definitely stop again. Thanks
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The furnishings were modern, clean and very comfortable. The property had everything we needed and the location was a lovely walk into town. We really loved staying here and would love to return one day. We highly recommend this Little Gem.
We had a great time staying at the Little Gem. It is in a nice spot, close enough to the beach and town after a bit of a walk. Comfy beds, nice and tidy with everything you would need for a nice stay.
Wonderful property! Very clean and modern in a fantastic location. Bedrooms are large and the backyard was beautiful to sit in enjoying a wine and listening to the birds. Our one year old son loved running around on the lawned area and we enjoyed being just a short drive to the beach and town center. Owners left a lovely note and coffee pods on arrival too. Thanks for renting out your beautiful property, we look forward to staying here again!
We loved this house and it was perfect for the family. Everything was exactly as described and we wish we had stayed longer. Sitting in the sun in the garden for breakfast was delightful. Beds were comfy and coffee pods welcome!
yes we would stay again.
Very comfortable stay here. The bedrooms were a good size with heaters and cozy blankets which we definitely still needed in October! There were plenty of towels, a few toiletries and ample laundry supplies. The kitchen was well equipped with the basics and it was lovely to have the enclosed garden for the kids to play in. Would definitely recommend and we'd happily stay again :)
Thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay here, and location was great. A short stroll to Beach and Town Center with some great boutique Coffee Shops and places to eat.
Would definitely come back.
