Great propperty in a great location

Thank you Joy for making the process so easy and for ensuring our stay was as comfortable as possible. You were correct in saying the fire keeps the whole property toasty warm - it was lovely. The property is extremely comfortable and we couldn't ask for a better spot. Walking distance to the beach and all of the cafes and shops and Apollo Bay is a great holiday spot. And five star rating for the host for looking after us and the great communication prior to our arrival. Very much made our little holiday a five star stay and we will definitely be back.

A home away from home

We spent a lovely weekend in spite of the weather that played winter in mid February. The house is comfortable and cozy, with many DVDs and a table tennis that entertained three boys very well. We cooked most of our meals there, the kitchen although small, is complete and easily handled. Comfortable beds, nice couches, all we needed for our weekend. Boys even had a warm shower outside after the beach! All good.

Great pet friendly getaway

We have stayed at Bacchus family home three times now. It is always a pleasure to return, as the property is comfortable, warm, conveniently located and quiet. Being pet friendly, it also means that our four legged child also gets a holiday! Joy & Leigh are the ultimate hosts, making sure everything is right for your stay. we thoroughly recommend this property.

Wonderful stay in Apollo Bay

The house was clean and we felt welcomed as we walked in the door. The layout of the house was great for our family group which consisted of 3 generations - preschool age children, their parents, and grandparents. It was walking distance to the beach as well as to the coffee shops in town (even the 2 year old walked/ran into town and back). The wood fired coronara heater kept the whole living and dining area of the house warm. A great asset for our winter visit.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay at this house, overall. It is always hard to find decent rental properties that accept dogs, but this one fit the bill in that regard, as it has a lovely enclosed backyard with an enormous shade tree. We had no anxiety about leaving the dogs alone in the yard for a few hours while we went off and did things. The laundry was well-equipped, and the kitchen had plenty of dishes and glassware, which makes a nice change. The fireplace was lovely. The downside was that the property was very tired looking and the house smelled distinctly of mould when we opened the front door. The beds were very hard, too. Joy is great to correspond with. I just think this property needs to be overhauled completely.

Perfect house for a family reunion over a few days

The house was very comfortable, loved the large enclosed garden and the kitchen is very well equipped for a rental. We cooked a storm and BBQed and played table tennis and went to the beach. The sun room is lovely and breezy in the afternoon and the garden nice and shady. Thank you Joy for being so helpful and letting us stay in your lovely house!

Great Family beach house

My family (two parents, 4 y.o and a baby) had a great time at this spacious house. It had a great cozy feel to it and the photos on Stayz do not do it justice. We loved eating, playing and using the shower outside after a day at the beach and the location was great too. Our 4 year old was able to walk to the shops (with a piggy back here and there). We would definitely stay again!

Serene recharge with a beach friendly home.

A lovely homely stay in a clean, relaxing home with plenty of relaxing space both indoors and out. Excellent communication with the hosts, lots to do for those colder days ( books, table tennis, dvds, puzzles). An easy walk to the beach, eateries and the shops. We have stayed here many times and will be back again.

Cosy beach house

Loved our 2 night stay as we had everything we needed. Fireplace, large yard and master bedroom with ensuite upstairs were standouts. The balcony off the master was perfect to sit and enjoy the breeze and hear the ocean. Joy was a pleasure to deal with and I would recomend this place for a beach getaway.
