The Bay View Vacation Home at Portarlington was a great holiday venue for our family to enjoy a break. The house was homely and comfortable - only a short drive inti town but in a very quiet street. the upstairs deck is a great retreat with a fantastic view.
Had a great stay!!! Hosts were amazing and easy to communicate with.
Perfect house for big families or multiple small families.
Great location with a great view!!
Would stay there again 😁
Perfect property and location for an old school getaway with the teenagers during school holidays. Lots of room for a group, comfy beds and ample space to relax. Easy walk/ride into town and to the pier.

A lovely place to stay
Our group of family and close friends enjoyed staying together at this property. A real highlight is the large living space with glass sliding doors opening out to the balcony. As it was Winter, we could still enjoy the view while staying warm and cosy.
Very comfortable place, well appointed kitchen, and nice quiet area.
Had a great weekend staying at Bev and Dean’s property in PortArlington.The property is older but very spacious and with lovely views of the bay.Bev and Dean were a pleasure to deal with and their communications wasvery good.Would recommend.
The house was perfect for my co-worker and i to take our participants to for a short break. Close to the main street and beach.
House was spacious and property owner, Bev was wonderful to communicate with. Will book again!!
Spacious, centrally located house with great views from inside and outside. Good plan of two bedrooms + bathroom/toilet upstairs and downstairs. Plenty of room for a large group and multiple areas inside and outside to enjoy. Loved our stay! Thanks Bev & Dean.
The location was good and the views from the balcony was great. I felt the property wasn't as clean as I expected and having the shower over the bath could be a problem for older folks. The prflyscreen in the upstairs bathroom appears to have fallen out onto the roof, below making it awkward to have the window open.
On the plus side, there was plenty of crockery, glasses, dishes etc. available.
I look forward to seeing the property once all the alterations have been completed.
We enjoyed staying at the house, and especially enjoyed the views from the deck! Was great being able to take our dogs too. It's not the most modern or luxurious house, but it is spacious, and had everything we needed.
