Di was extremely responsive and made sure our stay was everything we expected. The place was neat, tidy and extremely comfortable.It was highly private and peaceful. It was the relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable stay we had hoped for. Di went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. The outdoor claw bath in the very private backyard was an absolute highlight. Thank you Di for a wonderful visit to Barwon Heads.

Relaxing Get Away @ Asmara

We really loved our 3 day break at Asmara. The location was perfect, close enough to the shops, but far enough away from the business of town. The accommodation itself was fantastic - cosy and warm with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Would thoroughly recommend

Asmara Retreat Barwon Heads Bliss

Fabulous location, fabulous accommodation, fabulous host. Such a relaxing stay. Bed was really comfortable, the setting was sublime, so lovely hearing birdsong every morning. Close enough to walk to the main strip for some really wonderful food: Tommy Gunns, Che Vuoi, Ebb & Flow, Annies Providore to name a few. Thank you Di for a fabulous stay.
