Great Smiths Beach House

We had a wonderful time in this house. Its in a lovely quiet part of Smiths Beach, within a comfortable walk to the Beach. The floor plan suited us perfectly with our 14 year old and a couple of mates in the kids bunk room for a few nights, and some close friends (a couple) staying the weekend in the other double bed room. The kitchen/meals area is well equipped, and with perfect weather we were also able to enjoy the two outdoor areas and the very practical outdoor shower. Comms with owner/caretakers all great. Hope we can stay again next year!

Beach summer plus

We had a wonderful stay here - with perfect weather for a family holiday. We loved the outdoor dining area and the quiet garden as well as the sense that all the bedrooms had their own privacy. We would recommend it.

Great holiday home

My friends and I rented this property for the MotoGP weekend. Property was clean and accurately reflected the description. The house managers were very easy to deal with and friendly. The local caretaker was flexible and easily contactable. The house itself has all the comforts of home including the little things like Apple TV and a PlayStation. Within walking distance of the Philip island circuit and a short drive from Cowes. I would happily rent this property again.

Fitted us well.

We enjoyed our stay and the property layout was perfect for us. Nothing to complain about and loved this great house but the Phillip Island eateries are very disorganized. On Friday and Saturday nights after trying everywhere all the way back to San Remo we ended up having to make do with what we could buy from Coles. We did get a table at the Cowes RSL on Sunday night after getting a booking as soon as they answered their phone on Sunday morning.

Great stay!

We had a great time here. Spacious, clean property, fantastic water pressure in shower, clean towels provided. Great communication with venue owner and caretaker. The only hitch we would note is hard for taxi or Uber services.. however we still loved our time here. Very happy!

Superb Smith’s Beach

We had a lovely stay at the property with everything we needed for a long weekend. It’s a short stroll to the beach and general store. Dale and Kim were great communicators as we had to change dates a few times due to Covid- but we got there in the end! It’s a perfect home for all ages and the floor plan offers great flexibility for teenagers to have their own space.

Smith's Beach getaway

We had a great time thank you. The house was very comfortable and clean and an easy walk to Smith's Beach - a real ocean beach. The perfect place for a relaxed beach holiday.
