The interior and exterior of the property were perfect, but the building itself was too old and still needed some structural repairs. All the furniture and appliances were good, and the inside was cozy. The outdoor view was fantastic and beautiful. The entrance door needs to be updated or upgraded as well.
The game room was great and allowed kids to play easily inside and outside, with a shower available to clean up before coming back in.
In conclusion, the property is good, but the price is a bit higher than I expected.
all kitchen appliances great: beds comfy : magpies in back terrace a treat

Thank you Bookabreak for a wonderful 2 week holiday!
Thanks so much to the team at Book A Break! We had a lovely two week holiday down at Blairgowrie over summer. The booking process was very straightforward and communication was great! Check in and check out was very easy and property was comfortable and as described. We will definitely book with you guys again ???? thanks to Jaime and all the team!
It’s been a few years since we last stayed in Blairgowrie. The house was easy, very clean, in a great location and suited our needs wonderfully. Our fur baby is very old now and so good to be able to bring her with us. Thanks!
this was a lovely house with all the amenities necessary for a holiday stay - comfortable furniture, great location in walking distance from the beach, a beautiful garden and verandahs on each side. Speedy response to a loose panel that was banging in the wind.
We really enjoyed our stay at Blairgowrie Blue Cottage. The beach house within walking distance from the beach and shops. Clean, modern property, perfect for families with all the amenities you need including games room for the kids, streaming and wi-fi. Especially enjoyed the beautiful ocean views from the deck, and will definitely come back again to explore more of the Penninsula.
