Great pet-friendly house close to the beach

Great choice for a group! Plenty of room to stretch out, loads of beds and a secure, sunny yard (perfect for the pooch). Centrally located a flat 5 minutes walk to the beach & 10 minutes walk to the surf club and cafes - excellent spot. Communication was excellent, smooth check-in & check-out. Would stay again!

We always love our time in Apollo Bay. The host for this house has always been helpful, and this time was extra kind in arranging to post us some items we accidentally left at the house - big thanks also to the cleaner for their part in the mission! As always, a very comfortable house to stay in with the kids and a great location for our holiday activities. We shall return :-)

House was good. Outdoor table and BBQ were dirty. House can accommodate 8 people and has you covered for sleeping dining and lounge space. Just could do with a bigger refrigerator.
Verified review

8/10 Good

Overall, the stay was wonderful. However, there were a few minor issues.

The place was relatively clean. However, one of the blanket in the middle bedroom had a comforter that looked dirty. The lock of the front door was a bit hard to open the first time but after we got the hang of it, it was okay. There were lots of dog excrement in the backyard. The bedroom with the bunk beds had no television connection. The freezer was not cold enough and our ice cream melted overnight. However, the environment was very nice and we did enjoy it together as a family. It was at a convenient location near to the shops as well.

Hi Stefanie, Thanks for the review. Firstly I apologise about the dog excrement, this was not cleaned up by the previous guest as per the house rules, if you had contacted me about this I could have rectified the situation. The bedroom with bunk beds does have a TV connection the set top box needs to be turned on and the correct input selected. The temperature of the freezer can be adjusted by each guest to there requirements. Cheers Graeme

Lovely place

The house is great, clean, conveniently located in town, and the check-in process with the host was very easy. But I am very disappointed to not have linen, towels or even bath mats and tea towels. We didn't notice it was written in the description and had to buy some in town. We also had to buy toilet paper because there were barely any for the weekend. For a house that costs almost $400 per night, I think this should be standard, this is not a backpacker rental, we shouldn't have to pack so much while going away for the weekend, at least providing some tea towels to dry our hands & a bath mat to not slip after exiting the shower. More positively, the bath in the upstairs bathroom is amazing!

Hi Aurelie, thanks for the feedback. Sorry to hear you missed the details re the linen not being provided that is stated in the property overview. We do in fact supply tea towels, they are stored in the kitchen drawer. The cost of the property for 10 people is in fact cheaper than the local campsite. Regarding the toilet paper, we arenโ€™t a serviced house so when things run out you do need to replenish them. We do provide a reasonable amount.
