We loved our accommodation, house was very clean and comfortable. We were able to bring our small dog and even he felt at home! Thank you for our restful weekend.
The property had everything we needed in a very convenient location. The house was nicely appointed with a modern but beachy feel. We found it very comfortable and it suited our family of 4 perfectly. We wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Hi Tina,
We didn’t receive any feedback from you during your stay and said everything was clean and comfortable.
Not sure what happened to cause the 3 star review.
Hope you had a nice trip away
We enjoyed our stay. The property is centrally located and close to the beach. It has everything you need except I couldn't find the iron, only the ironing board.
The blankets that are left the cabinet were a little on the musty side too and they need a freshen up, otherwise it was a great stay.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review.
Appreciate the details.
The location of the iron and the ironing board are in the guest portal guide,
You may have kindly missed this.
Thanks for the note about the extra blankets,
We will get the team to look at these.
Thank you :)
A beautiful property located nice and close to the local shopping centre, beach and so many lovely restaurants. The house and garden was clean and well maintained. It had everything that you needed for a short stay. Communication with staff was terrific and they were always so prompt and pleasant with their replies. Highly recommend.
We stayed for 3 nights in this beautiful cozy house .
Great space for a family with furry children like us with large lounge room and backyard.
When we arrived the heater was on which was nice as it was cold outside.
The bed sheets - so soft ! We had a great night sleep every night .
Overall ,we have had a very enjoyable stay.
Thank you ❤️
Clean and comfortable property, looks exactly like the photos. Not great for a wheelchair but we made it work. Great location and the management promptly answers questions.

Peaceful neighbourhood. House had everything we needed, except a dishwasher oddly. Beds very comfortable. Plenty of crockery and cutlery for large groups. Awesome outdoor area with tv. Very bright and clean. Lovely welcome popcorn and chocolate was a nice touch. Will return for sure
We Love the house. Amazing back yard. quiet area. Great position walk to shops and beach. Well set up and Very clean, but unusual not to have a dishwasher.
The negitives were as we are more on the senior side the king bed was quiet high and the person using this had to almost jump up on to it. The other beds queens did have queen bunks on top so also not easy to get into as limited area to access bed. No room for bed side table or lamp. But we would of been aware of this at booking. But didnt realise how restricting this would be. And the main gas heater and conection in the living area did make me nervous, if I had a young children or a dog. We would probably stay again as so many positives. Thanks.
Great location, nice living/kitchen and large outdoor area
Clean on arrival and very easy to check-in. We were a group of 5 adults with a baby and dogs. Living/kitchen/dining is large and well equipped, with plenty of room for our group. There was also a large undercover area outside as well as a very big backyard - great for our dogs, and I could imagine also perfect for kids to play.
Bedrooms were fine for a holiday, and bathroom/laundry also adequate.
10 minute walk to the Rosebud foreshore as well as the Rosebud shopping centre - very convenient!
Enjoyed our stay and would come again.

Plenty of room for everyone !! Close to shops and great cafe near the beach . Close to hot springs . Port Nepean National Park is amazing if you have bicycles or up for a good walk . Thanks Michelle , a great clean comfortable home .
Perfect property for a group of friends or family - excellent outdoor entertainment area, and the rooms were comfortable and clean. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for the amazing stay!
Beautiful home in great location ! Very clean and tidy . Comfy beds too . Home away from home , great facilities with everything u need . Stayed with my girlfriends and will definitely come back we all loved it
We had such a lovely stay, with every detail seen to. The backyard was so relaxing and it was a treat to have our dog along for the trip as well.
The only negative feedback I would give would be the iron...it was very old and it spat out dirty water and stained my boyfriends white shirt that he was wearing to the wedding.
Like some of the reviews before, can agree the beds are so so comfortable. Overall we Really enjoyed our stay, we’ll be back!!
