Hearns Beachside Villa 7

Absolutely perfect weekend away with the family and dog. Lovely location, property was amazing - easy access to a beach (straight out the back door, no roads to cross), perfect view of the ocean, and we were blessed with lovely weather. If you're travelling, make sure to bring food with you as we found quite a few places in Port Fairy for takeaway/cafes closed for Winter but there is an IGA in town. Really fantastic time away, will definitely be back.

Only issue we had (small) on the first night one of the screen doors was on the ground when we arrived. We put it back onto the back door but when a storm came through at night, it banged a lot - so we figured out why someone else had put it on the ground in the first place! Other than that, no problem whatsoever, heating, WiFi, facilities, everything else great.

Size, location on beach and heating and spa. Loved the luxury and peaceful atmosphere. Well kept, clean and warm.

Finding the property as google maps not good to identify private road. Also needed to have oil, salt & pepper on hand for those there for long weekend. Spa kept turning on by itself after we had finished. No tv in second bed room which was not problem just need to update advertising as stepson really disappointed.,

The view was incredible and the set up enabled us to appreciate the views from both day and night.

The seating was very low, having knees above hips as a mature women isn't comfortable.

The views from the villa were amazing! The outdoor deck was great to take in the views and the footpath directly off the deck down to the beach was excellent. Location was great, not too far from town. The fireplace was magical and came in handy as the weather was not ideal. Great to sit around and enjoy some wine, take in the view and enjoy the coziness of the fireplace.

I feel the hosts are lacking attention to detail with this property considering the price per night paid. We were 4 adults staying the weekend during winter. We were given a total of 3 black teabags (we had to go out and buy our own), there were Moccona coffee sachets that were all out of date by 6 months (surely with the price per night better coffee could be provided?) and a small UHT milk in the fridge which was to be used the next day according to the use by date on the box. For 4 adults staying in this villa, there were 3 wine glasses, 2 champagne glasses (so not all of us could enjoy our wine in the correct glasses) and when we arrived home with takeaway, there were only 3 large dinner plates so we had to use a bowl instead for the 4th person. There was no soap supplied for the basin in the bathroom, we had to take the shower gel out of the shower so that we had soap to use. The blind in the main room overlooking the beach is mouldy. The wooden chairs on the deck look ready to fall apart and I didn't even try to sit in them as they don't look safe. Deck needs attention as on the edge of it where it is mostly exposed to the weather it is mouldy and slippery. Shower head needs replacing, it's quite old and sprays everywhere else but down on you. Received way too many texts and emails advising me of the check in process and what was classified and not classified as an emergency in order for you to contact them after hours. All in all, we really enjoyed staying here for the view and beach access, but when you are charging a high rate per night then you need to deliver.
