We were in Torquay for the Great Ocean Road Nike ride and wanted a home that was large and spacious enough for 3 families. This house ticked all the boxes for us and was close enough for us to ride to the starting line. Very enjoyable stagy and we will be back again.

Fabulous!
Great house for a large family group. Everything we needed and more was provided for a very comfortable stay. Quiet location, plenty of parking, lots of space for us all to spread out and an easy house to have toddlers in. Apart from the step up at the entrance it would be a very accessable house for wheelchair users. Thanks Maureen - it couldn't have been better.

Spacious, clean, neat and tidy home in a quiet neighbourhood
We celebrated Christmas here and we couldn’t have been more comfortable. Everything you could ask for was supplied from cots, high chairs to games and toys in the games room. There was plenty of room for our large extended family to enjoy together without feeling crowded. indoor and outdoor dining provided different areas for meals and several living areas provided space to spread out. Within walking distance to supermarket and cafe and a short drive to beach, would highly recommend and definitely stay again.

Great house for families
The house has three great rooms for couples. The other rooms with bunk beds are basic but fine for young children. The kitchen was fantastic - very well stocked with cooking equipment, utensils and coffee machine. Pool table, table tennis table and books were a hit. Despite being advertised as sleeping 17 it could really only sleep 14 - the other 3 were thin mattresses on the floor and a couch. The location wasn't great - a bit suburban and had to drive to the beach. Overall a great family holiday set up.
