The property is so comfortable, clean and with everything you could need. The location is within walking distance to town. The Owner Vicky has done a magnificent job furnishing the house, and was very good at communicating with us. We had a few questions which Vicky dealt with promptly. I would love to return.
Comfortable, uncluttered and well-stocked unit with beautiful water views within walking distance to cafes, shops & pier. Sunroom/front deck was perfect spot to chill out and our dog loved it too.
The house was as described. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for two couples. Our host, Chris, made sure everything went smoothly. The reverse cycle air con heated the living area easily and we enjoyed sitting by the fire. The yard is secure and practical for a dog. The location is very convenient to the beach, where there's a great foreshore path. Thanks Chris, for your attention to detail.
Marie & Bill were very good hosts .Their place was very comfortable and close to everything. They made us & our dog very welcome .Would highly recommend for anyone to stay here with their pet
Very clean, lots of room for a large family or couples. Very well suplied kitchen and accessories.
Location was excellent. Highly recommend this accommodation.
This year our family decided to experience Christmas differently and Ocean Grove was our location of choice.
From the moment I sent the initial inquiry to arriving back home the communication from Heidi was exceptional.
Walking into the kitchen we were greeted with the most spectacular hamper of local goodies and treats ready to switch into relaxation mode.
Our kids, 4 & 7 had everything they needed, each room was set up for them with the most fabulous variety of toys, books, and costumes. Our 4-year-old loved changing between Dorothy, Elsa, Iron Man and so many more.
Wandering out the back door onto the deck the fun continues for all ages. While we sat on the outdoor furniture with BBQ and drinks fridge an arms length away, the kids moved between the trampoline, climbing frame, and cubbyhouse.
Our Groodle Emmett was also loving life with his daily walk to the local coffee caravan and surrounding streets.
Overall the house was clean and tidy, with great appliances, a variety of kitchenware, and lots of space to accommodate us all. Heidi and her family even set up the Chrismas tree for us near the fireplace so Santa could easily find us.
This beautiful home is perfect for families who are looking to escape to a beautiful part of the world into a welcoming home away from home.
