We had a lovely long weekend in Skenes Creek. House was well equipped and our toddler loved running around the backyard. No WiFi which seems unusual these days but wasn’t an issue for us. Beds good and shower pressure amazing 👍

Not dog, friendly
We requested a dog friendly property, meaning that the property/backyard would be 100% secure, however the fencing is wire and one side of the fence, The squares in the wire is so large the dog just jump through and the dog is medium in size and kept running straight onto the road and the other side fence just had an area which was damaged And you could see that it has been repaired many times with makeshift repairs, so this made the stay quite anxious for us as the idea was for the dog to run around in the backyard as we don’t have the luxury of grass where we live, and whilst the communication was via email and eventually a phone call, there was nothing that could be done, so if you have pets this is not a secure place.

Hi Les, Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Your feedback is important to us as this helps us to improve. We will coordinate with our maintenance team for necessary action. We hope to serve you better in the future.
We liked the location and the pet friendly set up. Place was clean and well equipped.
It is over priced.
The place needs maintenance, a dishwasher and wifi.
The taps were creaking to every time we opened the tap. The creak could be heard by the neighbours it was that bad. DVD player is old and remote wasn't responding even after changing the batteries. If you are going with another family the toilet door isn't the ideal door.
Very pleasant although the furniture needs updating. The beds and couches are soft. It was also much smaller than we imagined. Great location.

Great dog-friendly house
Beach Fig is a great place to stay for dog owners who choose to holiday with their pet. The good sized yard is fenced all around and our dog loved it. Inside, the house is comfortable for a small family and the location is good - the beach is only a few minutes walk and Apollo Bay is an easy 5 minute drive. We enjoyed our stay and have returned from our holiday there refreshed and relaxed!
