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. ##### Amanda J.

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. ##### alice t.

Close to town, Beach and really was pet friendly. Beds where comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need. It Really was a home away from home. ##### Samantha B. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Kerrie R., Croydon, Victoria 22 Jan 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Kerrie R.
