Great getaway

We had a fantastic stay in Blairgowrie. The house was great, lots of room for 3 couples and kids. Well equipped, clean and good layout. Great location too, the back beach was beautiful.

Great location

Beautiful property, amenities provided is excellent. The place needs a good deep clean and the couches downstairs needs to be replaced or a good stream clean required. Overall great home for a large group of family and friends to bond and relax ☺️

Weekend Stay

Nice house and great location. A bit disconcerting to see the long list of rules that apply with threats of being fined by the council (all received after we paid the full amount) but we worked around that. Definitely need to be allowed to park more than 5 cars in a house that sleeps 18 people.. also be prepared to have to deal with your own rubbish as the recycle bin was full to the brim when we arrived.

Great group accommodation

Awesome set up for our large family group who came together to celebrate a special birthday. All ages were well accommodated for with plenty of in-house activities and plenty of space. Despite being instructions left for us on how to walk to the beach, it was confusing, arduous and a long trek. Otherwise, we were thrilled with our accommodation and would happily stay there again if the situation arose.

Not pet friendly

Although listed as pet friendly the property is not fenced at all, so dogs restricted to inside unless we were with them The house is aged and could do with a thorough clean Lots of bedrooms, plenty of space and privacy to get away if you need overall we had a great time

Plenty of space and clean

The property was perfect for our family which was a large group.The separation of the spaces and the tier level meant that the kids were able to have their own space.The place is equipped with everything you need for your holiday.

Great place for a family gathering

A lovely, if slightly aging home in a fantastic location. A few creaky floorboards and old carpets but these are minor gripes. For a large gathering of family, with kids from 10-18, it was perfect. Lots of great and well appointed areas to sit and chat in, new bathrooms with great showers, and a very well appointed kitchen. The kids were able to entertain themselves with games and fast wifi, the TV with Foxtel kept the older ones up to date with their sporting teams, and the amazing (if sightly hard to get to) back beach is well worth the bush-bash to get there. If you've got a large group and want a cozy, family-friendly stay where you can still feel like you're not in each other's pockets, this is perfect.

I do not recommend staying here

Book with caution. The owner is extremely difficult to deal with and will not offer you a credit or rebook your stay if you are unable to go due to COVID19. We are a group of 4 families that go away every year together, this year COVID ruined these plans twice. It was out of our hands and still the owner would not rebook us in or refund our money, really devastating after the year it has been. We feel like our hard earned money has been stolen. I do not recommend booking with this property at all.

Large property ideal for family groups - place is very tired and in need of an update

We enjoyed our break at this property overall however feel its important to balance this with the tiredness of the house and furniture. A family member described the overall place as "manky". We focused on enjoying our break but the value and quality of this property does not align with the price and therefore we would not book again. The comms and engagement with the building managers were excellent though.

Perfect autumn escape

Everything was wonderful from start to finish. We were 18 people (4 families), and there was plenty of space for all of us. Spotlessly clean. The fireplace was amazing. The location was unbelievable.

Excellent choice for a large group

Location on Blairgowrie back beach made for a quieter peaceful choice with the very busy summer crowds decending on the Peninsula. House while older, it had everything for Christmas and the kitchen cutlery, crockery and glassware was so well stocked we didnt need a thing for the many lunches and dinners we prepared. The property included everything we needed for 3 generations and the upstairs kids areas was fabulous. We really appreciated nice touches like candles, hand wash and a great guide to the back beach! Thank you it was a really great week for all of us
