One of the best homes we've stayed at. Excellent amenities, great communication and so close to the main street and beach. Loved it all, thanks again

We had a lovely time in Lakes Entrance and a very comfortable stay at Carrick Cottage. The host is very friendly and accommodating, even buying a new bath and high chair for our baby, and even offering a portacot, but we already had our own. However, this would be great for future families with a baby. The place is clean and comfortable and the hamper filled with goodies was a lovely and very enjoyable touch. Our baby loved the little toy chick left for Easter too. The only thing I would like to make future families with crawling babies or toddlers aware of is all the nicnax that were around the house. You will need to make sure they are up high enough to baby proof the place, otherwise little fingers might get hold of them. And that wouldn't be good for babies or the host. But overall, this was a lovely place. Reasonably close to town but in a quiet area. Host is very responsive and helpful. Thanks for a lovely stay. this would be

We had a great time staying at Carrick Cottage. It was very clean, well furnished with everything that you need in the kitchen, all linen, bath towels etc. The house is very well set up for families and has all the little extras to make the stay very enjoyable, such as games, backyard tennis, picnic stuff, dvds etc. It was in a great location as we could walk into the town centre but still far enough away from all the people. We stayed over the Christmas/NY holiday period.So it was very busy!
