Family beach house within walking distance to beach and shops
Conveniently located family beach house about a 10 minute walk to the beach and shops. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and the airconditioning worked well. The host was nice and helpful. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Great location! Close to everything
Great location close to the water and the main strip of shops and cafes.The fruit trees in the backyard were great loved the backyard..Only negative would be to update the bbq outside and the water pressure in the shower isnt the best but otherwise a great cheap house if you want something nice and close to everything!George the owner was very helpful with any enquiries also.

Thanks for the feed back and will address the 2 matters you mentioned. New bbq and reno for the bathroom sceduled for this May.
A winter long weekend break was great with plenty of room for the large family. A little chilly at times. Great communication with George and the late checkout was really appreciated. Wonderful hospitality, would definitely return.
The house was easy to find, only a couple of blocks from the shops and beach. Plenty of beds for everyone, the house was well-stocked with crockery, cutlery etc. Eating area a bit squashy. The house was comfortable and homely.

Long weekend break
George was brilliant to communicate with and responded straight away with any questions. House struggled with the high heat over the weekend. So close to the beach and main road of St Leonards which made for a lovely weekend away.

Yes it was a scorcher, Momba cancelled do to heat warning and local Geelong activities cancelled as well. 38, 39 and 38 degrees, the new Dakin AC worked hard last weekend. Tough mark for a abnormaly hot weekend.

Property was as described. Older style but very comfortable and clean. Lots of crockery, utensils and kitchen items available so very easy to cook yourself a meal. Walking distance (approx 10mins) to IGA, shops and beach. George was fantastic to deal with. Front master bedroom mattress was a lot softer than our personal preference (which is firm) but we discovered on the last day that the mattress in the master off the kitchen was firmer. We stayed with a 2 year old and found it had everything we needed. Would stay again. Thanks George!

This was the first time using stayz and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. To begin with Communication with George is really easy and replies are prompt and informative. The property’s location is very central to shops, eateries and beach.
There is plenty of room in the house, the rooms have ample space, beds are comfortable. The house is immaculately clean, the kitchen is well appointed, plenty of crockery, cutlery etc etc. There’s plenty of room in the back yard to relax and have an enjoyable break.
The 2 driveways to the property make easy for trailers or boats. We had 2 cars so moving in and out was much easier.
The are very happy to recommend the location of St Leonards and specially this great property and the owner. We are certain that other Stayz users will have a great time here. Thank you George for making this property available for holiday rental. We’ll book again soon 😃
We had a lovely stay in this house. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Great communication with the owner too. Would love to stay here again!
We (My sister and our young children) had a great stay at George's home and highly recommend the home. Although slightly dated in furniture and fittings (sorry George) the cleanliness and homelike feel of the house makes it a great place to stay. The fruit trees, the comfort of the beds and walking distance to the shops and beach is also a benefit.
My 11 year old just described it as cosy! Thank you George.
Most senior member just out of hospital, family wanted to give her a break. More that happy and find this property very suitable elderly couples as well as younger sensible family members.
We were fortunate to obtain a house to sleep 9 at short notice. Typical beach holiday house located a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed the backyard table and seating for our meals and the fruit trees provided a lovely outlook. Great beach for young children and good shopping centre at St Leonards.
