It is an older place I think they really need to update the kitchen and bathroom for the price that they are asking. The location is just amazing. ##### David C.

Perfect. ##### Natasha M. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jennifer F. 12 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Overpriced for standard of property Although a charming looking older property, it was not a comfortable winter stay and overpriced for what was offered. The main bathroom needed renovating and not even a bathmat was provided. The second bathroom was outside. No reading lamps in very basic bedrooms. No tea towels - very little kitchen equipment - no tea pots etc and no salt. It was not that clean - a greasy grilling pan, food scraps by the side of the stove. We were told bring bedding but not bath mat and tea towels. A disappointing stay and we will not return. ##### Jennifer F. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary M. 25 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet family break Clean, tidy and well maintained older home that was well designed to engage the view and surrounds while still achieving enough privacy. The verandah was our go to space, with the quiet backstreet location and trees creating a very pleasant retreat. A convenient location with a direct path down to the beach and walking distance to shops. ##### Gary M.

Sunny mornings and a fire in the evenings in a wonderful place. ##### MeisimTam T. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon B. 6 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A genuine beach shack Perfect for a family stay near the beach! It's the right amount of clean, functional and not 'too fancy'. Our kids are older, but still appreciated the yard and trampoline. Plenty of separate spaces for all to have some quiet time, and not too far from the town centre. 5min stroll to the beach- would book again. ##### Sharon B. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ani B. 21 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great getaway spot Took the family and dogs on a 3 day weekend. It was a great place to relax and getaway. Felt close to nature with the sounds of the bird life in the front yard. Great beach walks, Arthurs seat, and dining. Everything is so close. Had a blast. ##### Ani B.

Comfortable living areas, fantastic backyard for the kids to play in, and a wonderful deck with sea views. Short drive to beach and shops. We had a lovely time, and would definitely come back again. ##### Anna W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adeke A. 30 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Easy and lovely for a low key break The house is lovely with that real beach shack vibe, lots of nice original touches end enough modern convenience. We loved the garden, the verandah, the rooms were all great. Quick walk to the beach, great little pocket of Dromana. If you are looking for a super low-key kind of holiday this is a great place. Only thing to note is that the nature of the house is that there is a bit of echo - the bunk room, while it is suitable for young kids is not particularly suitable for (4) teenagers or adults. Other than that it's perfect and we will be back. ##### Adeke A. ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah A. 24 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Tired property but great location The property is probably a little tired & a tad over priced. Sound carries like crazy in the house & could do with some hallway rugs etc to try address this. Provision of linen & other essentials such as foil/baking paper, tea, coffee (for the machine), should be considered by the owners. Coming for a wknd stay is more work than desired, especially for a family! Location is great...so close to the beach with an awesome view. Not too far from places you'll want to visit. ##### Sarah A. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara M. 2 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Beach Shack Shack is a very modest term- this is a charming house in a perfect location. ##### Sara M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reich T. 2 May 2019 #### Fantastic location, beautiful property We had a great time staying at the "shack", which is a beautiful house with many original features. The pictures don't lie. The views are great, you have a lot less freeway noise that in most other places in Dromana, and yes the fireplace is real. No "The Block"-style luxuries here - no glass shower walls, no fancy bedrooms, no granite kitchen tops, no dishwasher, no hot tub - just a well-maintained, clean property with everything you need to relax and have a good time at the beach. Just be aware that the second payment goes though a local agency, not HomeAway/stayz and is not covered by their "Book with Confidence" guarantee. They don't tell you that until you've clicked on "Book now". We didn't have any issued with the local agents though. ##### Reich T.

The house itself is very relaxing and peaceful. The location is perfect, with my 2 teenage sons in tow our daily walk to the beach took no more than 5 minutes. Mornings spent on the balcony having breakfast and reading was ideal. Overall our stay at this gem of a holiday house was fantastic. ##### Jacqueline F.

Close to the beach, shops, great little cafes etc - still very peaceful and in a lovely landscaped setting with plenty of parking. Traditional beach house with very comfortable couches and beds. Very clean and freshly painted. A great spot in summer or winter with air conditioning as well as a wood fire. The highlight would be the raised deck with a great view of the water and plenty of outdoor furniture and bbq. ##### Janette E.

We had a great stay at this property and highly recommend it for a relaxing get away. Everything was neat and tidy when we arrived, the house was very comfortable and exactly as described. It’s a beautiful spot - we spent most of our time relaxing, reading and enjoying a quiet drink on the balcony while admiring the beautiful view. ##### Robyn B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Dean P. 1 Oct 2015 #### Great water views from the deck Quick easy stroll to the beach. Very good lay-out. 3 bedrooms with comfortable beds, kids bunk room spacious and handy 2nd TV. Comfortable lounge, plenty of outdoor furniture. Nice yard. ##### Dean P.
