Close to the Beach
Handy location although a busy road. We understood doona's were provided but they were only suitable as a thin bed spread, luckily we had brought our own anyway.
Great location across from Whites Beach.
Was quiet,although Torquay was the busiest I have ever seen it after coming here for 9 years over Easter!
House was very clean, loved balcony overlooking beach.
Great for dogs was very secure.
Highly recommend:
- perfect location just across the beach and town
- dog friendly with huge tidy backyard
- fully equipped kitchen
- cleanliness
- ample of space for big group
- fully equipped laundry
Great location, especially with the beach and grassed area across the road for the dogs. Easy bike ride into town. It may not have changed anything but we weren't told we had to bring all our own linen, towels, etc until after booking, that should have been in the property information prior to booking. Also it was mentioned after booking we were required to clean the house properly before leaving which was not in the property info before booking. Let's just say we left the property cleaner than it was before arriving, there was also not enough dishwashing/liquid to wash dishes. We were onto the last roll of toilet paper aswell and the upstairs toilet flush button would jam down meaning the toilet would keep running unless we improvised to unjam it. If we had of known we probably would've still booked but made us 2nd guess what else had been hidden from us. Atleast 1 doona was dirty, we were glad we all brought our own. We then went to use the bbq and had to spend 15 minutes cleaning and scrubbing it, it was absolutely filthy!! We took photos if you need.
The location and size of the property made the trip, if these issues didn't occur it would've been an awsome stay

Hi Scott,
Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that the location was great however am sorry to hear that parts of your stay relating to the cleanliness were not up to standard. We have since made some changes to the cleaners of this property and can confirm the feedback from guests that have booked after your stay has been positive.
We have also noted that there were a few details missing from the properties description relating to linen which has since been rectified. For noting, at multiple times throughout the booking and payment process, it was communicated that linen is not supplied or included in the advertised price however is available to hire through an external provider for an additional cost.
We will be sure to be in contact with you via email to obtain these photos and any further feedback you have to ensure stays by future guests at this property are enjoyable and of a high standard.
We value your feedback and hope to see you back again soon.
Many Thanks,
Daniel

Great location, disappointed on the presentation
Location is fantastic, across from the beach and lovely walking tracks. They provided so much in regards to dishes, cutlery, every pan you can think of, games and quality viewing. We were just disappointed on the cleanliness. Cobwebs, dust on doonas, under beds and on blinds, oven was extremely dirty and there was also a bag of rubbish quite full in the inside bin, which smelt it had been there for awhile. If it was not for this, I would highly recommend. We could not work out how to use the BBQ, so went to local park and it took us a few days on how to work the cooktop.

Awesome place and location
We stayed here for the Otway Classic cycling event with a group of friends. This place is fantastic. Close to town and beach and the property itself is magnificent.
Only downside was that you had to clean floors and bathrooms before departure. We told the landlord that this should really be included in the booking fees as you pay top $.
