Very good

bbq bottle emptied - we had planned to cook on the for the weekend and could not.
Electric stove very basic .
Heating very insufficient with remote control very hard to use
Run out of toilet paper with only 1.5 roll available for 5 people 3 days
Fridge freezer still had food from previous occupant , mess under the bed meant no one had vacuumed ☹️ Couches were dirty.
Bathroom amenities were a bit smelly
Overall we enjoyed Philip island
But accomodation was average , at best.
It would have been helpful if there was a matress for the portacot. If I had know I would have brought my own. My daughter was very unsettled without a mattress. We had to cover the base of the cot with a blanket then a sheet.
Cute house, close to the beach and walk track and Pet Friendly
Really enjoyed our short stay. Close to town, Beach and really was pet friendly. Beds where comfortable and the kitchen had everything you need. It Really was a home away from home.
House is in a great position close to the beach 5 min walk, 20 min walk to the shops
House is in a great position, it would have been great to have had an outside broom to sweep the gravel of the decking to keep this from coming inside and a plastic rake to clean the gravel after the dogs had toileted. As we stayed during COVID19 I did expect the house to be cleaned a little more thoroughly. Overall the house was in a good spot and my family and I enjoyed our stay, it was great to be able to bring our two furry family members.
