We loved the space of this apartment (for a family of 4). We also loved the peaceful surroundings and amazing birdlife. Despite being tranquil, it was still only a short drive to great local amenities.

Raelene was friendly and the place was massive. Great location and well finished with a comfy bed and everything you need in the house.
This was our second stay here. We stayed in the other apartment last time. This one seemed slightly bigger. The location is great and the properties are well maintained and very clean. The living area is lovely and was great to relax. Short drives to Balnarring shops too if you need anything.

Loved our stay in Merricks
We had a wonderful time staying at Raelene’s house in Merricks - the location the ideal and the house was just perfect for the family. We were overwhelmed by how spacious and inviting it was! Would highly recommend.

OK
The apartment - Jonathon at The Coolstore was a great size and very spacious, host was also lovely. However, we were very much let down by the cleanliness of the place. Fridge, pantry, sink, stove, dishwasher, bathroom all need a thorough scrub! Also next to a reasonably busy road, so you could hear the cars passing by. Good location, I would recommend if it were clean and the main road didn't bother you, but was very disappointed - especially in the state of the kitchen.

Thank you for choosing to stay at The Old Coolstores and taking the time to share your experience with us during your recent stay. You comments are valuable to us, as they help us to improve our service. We take pride in our cleanliness and attention to detail, but clearly we were not up to standards on your stay. We sincerely apologise, please rest assured this will be addressed. Unfortunately we are located next to a road, we have installed secondary windows to help with the noise. But will do some more research, to see what else we can do. Thank you again for your time.

Room for improvement
Huge potential but missed the mark. Mismatched crockery and cutlery and cupboards needed sorting. Few cobwebs and dusty surfaces. Great space for families and lovely garden. Ideal location close to everything. Suggest a few pictures on the walls to celebrate the building's origins.

I'm sure we'll be back again!!

The apartment was surprisingly spacious for a 2 bedroom property. The apartment is very clean and bright and is in a great location close to Merricks beach and wineries. We had a lovely stay and found the owners to be very very helpful and happy to "go the extra mile" for their guests.

The Old Coolstore is gorgeous. The apartment has been beautifully renovated and is fantastic for a family holiday. There is plenty of space. It is just minutes to lots of wineries and enjoyed our stroll along the beach, were lucky to see some dolphins. We can't wait to visit again in the warmer months.
