Everything we could have needed was there as well as more. Able to totally relax, thank you! ##### Denise Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason 20 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Zen House. The house was immaculately decorated with a keen eye for detail, from decorations to complementary cheese and fruit board, robes, night light, setting up fire kindling on the patio outside. The patio us outdoor deck has everything you need for a small gathering with friends including tables and chairs, bbq cooking plates. Indoors is spatious, a good well stocked kitchen with all the appliances you’ll need, good sized dining table, large comfy lounge (the piano in the corner adds a touch of class). 2 clean bathrooms, an ensuite and second bathroom has a bath. There’s even a laundry with everything you need. Ample parking. Also effortless no contact entry. Andrea was a joy to chat with on the phone. Easy walk to the beach, 5 min drive to the supermarket and 5 min drive to the hot springs. Highly recommend, wish we could stay longer! ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pan Pacific Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Pan-Pacific-Melbourne.h2432787.Hotel-Information) > > [Ovolo South Yarra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Ovolo-South-Yarra.h63305062.Hotel-Information) > > [White City Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alanya-Hotels-White-City-Resort-Hotel.h6521388.Hotel-Information) > > [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) > > [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) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [Resort Hotel Alex](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zermatt-Hotels-Resort-Hotel-Alex.h1107415.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Daniela Essentia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Otranto-Hotels-Voi-Daniela-Resort.h50603017.Hotel-Information) > > [Quincy Hotel Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Quincy-Hotel-Melbourne.h57242156.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) > > [Hotel Sunny Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Hotel-Sunny-Villas.h1095677.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) > > [Great Southern Hotel Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Great-Southern-Hotel-Melbourne.h27851.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets The Vine Cancun - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cancun-Hotels-Secrets-The-Vine-Cancun-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h5052348.Hotel-Information) > > [Carlton Lygon Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Carlton-Lygon-Lodge.h4790050.Hotel-Information) > > [Urcu Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Antalya-Hotels-Urcu-Hotel.h3851300.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel América Sevilla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seville-Hotels-Hotel-America-Sevilla.h1630.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Prince of Wales Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prince-Of-Wales-Theatre-Hotels.0-l6251250-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Qatar Airways Manchester (MAN) to Lahore (LHE) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/qatar-airways-from-manchester-to-allam-iqbal-intl/qr/man/lhe) ### Packages > [Pefkos Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pefkos.d6138863.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Surrey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Surrey.dx55040)
