Very happy with the house, it had everything we needed. Very private and quiet area. The walk down to the beach
has probably the best views in Anglesea. We have already booked to stay here again
This holiday house was the perfect long weekend getaway for my family. It's a good location in Anglesea, the property description is accurate and the communication with the hosts was speedy and effortless.
We really enjoyed the stay.
Thank you

Thank you Thomas
Glad you enjoyed the stay at our family holiday house :)
Was a perfect little location for our stay to get some beach time. Very clean and has all you need for a great getaway. Quiet, nice birds around and good feel to the place. Thanks
This was our third stay at this property, and we have already booked another. The location of the house is perfect for a quick walk to Anglesea main beach or a scenic walk to Point Roadknight. It had everything we needed for a relaxing break from cooking equipment to books and board games. We can't wait to go back

Thanks Louise - we are so glad you enjoyed the days you were able to be at Anglesea.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Property was set on a large block which the kids were able to run around and explore. Place was kid friendly with lots of games and DVD's to use during their stay. Check in/out process was well communicated. Thanks to Tracey.

The Ware's Retreat house was firstly very easy to find.
It was absolutely fabulous for us. It was practical, comfortable, extremely clean and tidy on a very quiet block. It is especially close to the picturesque Point Roadknight Beach. Tracey communicated with us straight away when it was necessary. It was perfect for our beach holiday! Thanks Tracey and David very very very much!
