We had an excellent time and would definitely re-book for a future holiday! The host’s instructions to arrive and settle in were clear and easy. The property has great spaces to unwind and chill. The location is superb with easy access to Phillip Island attractions and it’s only a of couple minutes walk to Smiths Beach. The surrounding neighbours were all cheerful and welcoming which made every stroll for a morning latte or to see the sunset fun.Really enjoyed the stay highly recommend it!

Great house for extended family holiday

Great house in a fantastic location, easy walking distance from one of our favourite beaches. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the outdoor areas especially the pool table which provided hours of entertainment for the teenagers in our group.

Perfect for a family beach holiday

The house was ideal for our family gathering. Easily accommodated the ten of us in comfort. Everything we needed was provided and the upstairs and downstairs living areas were ideal for adults and kids to separate when needed. The outdoor space was good for some backyard cricket and the fire pit was perfect for 'smores'. Easy walk to the beach was great for the Canadians to get their surfing fix, and the local coffee was great.

Beachside beauty

Brilliant location with excellent facilities. The games and recreational equipment was fabulous. Nice secure yard for the dog! Great to stroll down to see the Shearwaters coming in and to enjoy the beach. Couple of things- fridge in the carport is very smelly, bedside light upstairs us or working and no tea towels!
