The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Family new year reunion in Portsea. House was in a great location and offered fabulous space just as described. A few things were not quite right including the pool which had not been cleaned and was not heated as we were told it would be when we booked. The owner did sort the cleaning but not until pool cleaners until our last day but it stayed freezing. It’s a great house but not if you like swimming! ##### CARYN K. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pan Pacific Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Pan-Pacific-Melbourne.h2432787.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Southern Hotel Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Great-Southern-Hotel-Melbourne.h27851.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Darling Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Darling-Harbour-Sydney-Hotels.0-n6047418-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Carlton Lygon Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Carlton-Lygon-Lodge.h4790050.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Dreams-Punta-Cana-Resort-Spa.h1151641.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Apartments Royal Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Royal-Gardens.h425401.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Melbourne by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Melbourne.h845390.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cumberland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weymouth-Hotels-The-Cumberland.h6964170.Hotel-Information) > > [Ovolo South Yarra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Ovolo-South-Yarra.h63305062.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Kent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Kent-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d6046219-tBudgetHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Agapi Beach Resort - Premium All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malevizi-Hotels-Agapi-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1056753.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Slough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Slough-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d5688--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mercure Melbourne Southbank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Mercure-Melbourne-Southbank.h898381.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley International Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Waverley-International-Hotel.h3504259.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Silver-Lake-Resort.h14518.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Entertainment in Spain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Spain-Hotel-With-Entertainment.0-0-d166-thotelwithentertainment.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Radisson on Flagstaff Gardens Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Radisson-On-Flagstaff-Gardens-Melbourne.h82772.Hotel-Information) > > [Space Hotel - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Space-Hotel-Hostel.h2100092.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Melbourne.h23775.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantis Hotel, Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Atlantis-Hotel.h864494.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Melbourne Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Melbourne-Airport.h12401.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Hotel Melbourne Docklands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Travelodge-Hotel-Melbourne-Docklands.h3033860.Hotel-Information) > > [PrincessHotels Hotels in Tenerife](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenerife-Hotels-Princess-Hotels.0-0-d6047194--bPrincessHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Quincy Hotel Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Quincy-Hotel-Melbourne.h57242156.Hotel-Information) > > [Arriva Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Arriva-Hotel.h906318.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Ethiopian Airlines London (LHR) to Harare (HRE) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/ethiopian-airlines-from-heathrow-to-harare-intl/et/lhr/hre) > > [Flights from Bangkok (BKK) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bkk/mnl/bangkok-to-manila) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Zürich (ZRH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/zrh/london-to-zurich) ### Packages > [Dublin Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin.d178256.Holidays-City-Breaks)
