10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2024
The house was large as were the surrounds. Plenty of room for different activities.
My only issue was with the bedrooms. It is advertised as 6 bedrooms, it is only 5 with extra beds in a walkway between two bedrooms. With 6 couples staying, this meant one couple had to sleep in a room with no privacy, very disappointing. Needs to be advertised as 5 not 6 bedrooms.
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2022
The property was great loads of space for kids to run around and great location so close to the beach and Apollo Bay.
Unfortunately the property wasn't the cleanest on arrival with a few items left lying around from previous guests which highlighted the lack of attention to detail spent cleaning. During the busy season the cleaners were obviously very busy and only did a rough clean as some areas like the stair case hadn't been vacuumed and all the bathrooms had some sort of bodily hair left behind in the shower/bath or toilet.
Real Estate agents were great with their communication and did offer to have cleaners come back again and a handy man came very quickly as well to fix up some of the light bulbs that were blown too.
Overall great stay. I would just be aware when booking in Summer that upstairs has no aircon and gets very hot. So it was a struggle if you have little ones who nap in the afternoon. Fans are supplied but only do so much in the height of heat in the afternoon.

6 / 10Average·Oct 2022
The property certainly gave us all the space we needed and was a great location. 5 mins to the beach - walking.
Lots of space.
Property was grubby when we arrived. One mattress was very dirty and should be replaced in the bedroom of the second kitchen.
Cupboards and drawers hadn't been wiped out.
Bench's were tacky and I don't think the floors had been mopped.
Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean.
Only two tea towels were provided. One in each kitchen and this was difficult as the dishwashing tablets ran out early as only 6 were provided. We were a group of 12 so there were a lot of dishes.
The second kitchen is not equipped with any dishes, cups, or glasses. There is a kettle and coffee machine but nothing else. This meant a lot of trips backwards and forwards with dishes.
In saying this we had a great time and liked the house, but it needs a good clean.
