Great stay in quiet location
Enjoyed our stay. House equipped well for up to six guests. Photos need updating. Large dining table, couches, large flat screen with chrome cast and outdoor dining table with chairs was a pleasant surprise. Very comfortable and lovely quiet location near the beach.

Had a lovely time staying at this property. The home had everything we needed and had a great garden area for our dog to potter around. Located fairly close to the beach and town. Good communication from the property manager. Recommend.

Ok but won’t stay again.
Property wasn’t as clean as it should have been. Air conditioner needs fixing as it leaks water out the front, down the wall and onto the floor. There were no fans in kids bedrooms so was stuffy on the hot nights we were there. Master doona was terrible. It wasn’t the most comfortable house to stay in.

Wonderful weekend away
We had a perfect winter getaway. the woodheater was easy to use and kept us warm all weekend. The house is spacious yet perfectly cosy for 6 adults. The beach was a short 15 min walk away and was an amazing spot to catch the sunset

Clean and tidy
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well, in short, the stay could not have been better for 3 long standing good friends competing with an EH Holden in what was quite a huge premier Historic event at the Phillip Island Race Circuit.Everything was just great however, could it be possible for the television to be working on more channels than the ABC. The V8 Touring cars also happened to be on that same weekend and unfortunately, the TV reception was very poor. Aside from this we were very comfortable and close to the track. Thank you very much and we look forward to staying with you again.Steve, Greg and Ian.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: it was very clean and it's really a home away from home. There were some hiccups though, we can't open the front door with the key and we have to go all the way to the back to open and enter and had to call the property management people several times before our call was answered but was very helpful to us. Would recommend to friends.
