Enjoyed our brief stay... it was sad about the weather as we were expecting a warmer weekend. ##### Ingrid T. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Russell D. 22 Nov 2021 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Close to the Beach Handy location although a busy road. We understood doona's were provided but they were only suitable as a thin bed spread, luckily we had brought our own anyway. ##### Russell D. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Moira K. 5 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Area was quiet, although Torquay itself was busy! Great location across from Whites Beach. Was quiet,although Torquay was the busiest I have ever seen it after coming here for 9 years over Easter! House was very clean, loved balcony overlooking beach. Great for dogs was very secure. ##### Moira K. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### paul e. 25 Feb 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great property Highly recommend: - perfect location just across the beach and town - dog friendly with huge tidy backyard - fully equipped kitchen - cleanliness - ample of space for big group - fully equipped laundry ##### paul e. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott T. 24 Feb 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cleanliness issues but would stay again Great location, especially with the beach and grassed area across the road for the dogs. Easy bike ride into town. It may not have changed anything but we weren't told we had to bring all our own linen, towels, etc until after booking, that should have been in the property information prior to booking. Also it was mentioned after booking we were required to clean the house properly before leaving which was not in the property info before booking. Let's just say we left the property cleaner than it was before arriving, there was also not enough dishwashing/liquid to wash dishes. We were onto the last roll of toilet paper aswell and the upstairs toilet flush button would jam down meaning the toilet would keep running unless we improvised to unjam it. If we had of known we probably would've still booked but made us 2nd guess what else had been hidden from us. Atleast 1 doona was dirty, we were glad we all brought our own. We then went to use the bbq and had to spend 15 minutes cleaning and scrubbing it, it was absolutely filthy!! We took photos if you need. The location and size of the property made the trip, if these issues didn't occur it would've been an awsome stay ##### Scott T.

Kitchen with living upstairs onto balcony with great views, separate bedrooms and bathroom downstairs with access to rear from the rooms. Kids stayed downstairs - parents upstairs. ##### FAMILYQ This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Adam 9 Jan 2019 #### Great location, disappointed on the presentation Location is fantastic, across from the beach and lovely walking tracks. They provided so much in regards to dishes, cutlery, every pan you can think of, games and quality viewing. We were just disappointed on the cleanliness. Cobwebs, dust on doonas, under beds and on blinds, oven was extremely dirty and there was also a bag of rubbish quite full in the inside bin, which smelt it had been there for awhile. If it was not for this, I would highly recommend. We could not work out how to use the BBQ, so went to local park and it took us a few days on how to work the cooktop. ##### Adam This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Chin2 3 Oct 2018 #### Stunning location Great place for a relaxing holiday with family and friends ##### Chin2 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Betty 29 Apr 2018 #### Awesome place and location We stayed here for the Otway Classic cycling event with a group of friends. This place is fantastic. Close to town and beach and the property itself is magnificent. Only downside was that you had to clean floors and bathrooms before departure. We told the landlord that this should really be included in the booking fees as you pay top $. ##### Betty This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### ZooCrew 25 Apr 2018 #### Surfing Safari Great location and property. Clean, well equipped, well priced and dog friendly. Suited our needs perfectly and we had a great time!
