Great time in Dromana (again)

It was our seventh or eights stay in this particular Dromana house and we had great time there, as before. The house is clean, the location is private and quiet, with excellent views. The hosts respond to any queries quickly and constructively. We hope to spend more time in this house in the future.

Beautiful

Just to summarise this property was beautiful from the location, to cleanliness etc but most of all the owners are such a delight to deal with and so flexible and understanding. If I stay at Dromana again and this property is available I’ll be here again.

Home away from home

Thank you Melissa for allowing us to stay at your rental property, And for always being prompt to respond to any questions, the views were beautiful, your house was a home away from home, we were all so fortunate to enjoy the pool, the pool is in the best location with the sun on it from sunrise to sunset, so the water was always warm, we all enjoyed playing pool, but would be good to have an outdoor setting down stairs, overall a very clean house except for the window seals, The location is central not far to drive anywhere, the only complaint is the TV in the main bedroom doesn’t have good reception on many channels and the steep driveway, but l would Highly recommend this rental and l would consider returning. Kind regards Sandra

Amazing views

We spent most of our week sitting on the balcony enjoying the amazing views of the bay. The pool was also fantastic. An older property in need of some renovation, garden maintenance and cleaning (and a bathroom for the downstairs bedroom). Otherwise, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.
