Great house and location
This house is easy to get to, everything you need is there. Short walk to the beach. House is much nicer than the photos lead you to believe.

McHaffie street review
Configuration of rooms and layout of the house were excellent. Comfortable beds, pillows and doonas. House in good location. Lots of potential. We felt the house wasn't particularly clean, especially, the oven, barbeque, under couches in downstairs living room. Also lots of little bits and pieces in drawers and cupboards, that had no purpose. On arrival, we attempted to fix two broken fans from other broken fans we found about the place, (both left in a cupboard and in the junk pile out the back), so that we could have one per room. Outside - junk heap in back yard was dangerous and unattractive, also restricted use of this area. Lawns not mown. Trampoline : no net - questionable?? No clothes line - especially for beach towels and bathers. Outdoor furniture left a lot to be desired. Many of the walls needed cleaning The two front bedrooms rooms up and downstairs got very warm on the hot days. insufficient crockery - sleeps 17, 4 bowls provided etc. plates, glasses insufficient outdoor furniture (deck and back area) for 17 people furniture on upstairs deck falling apart. Shade sail or outdoor unbrella would make spaces much more usable.

Fantastic property.
The house was brilliant! Comfortably accommodated myself, my sister, my kids, their partners and my grandchildren. Felt comfortable, easy access into Cowes and highlights of Phillip Island. The owners were warm and inviting. Strongly recommend staying here.
