Great location but needs work
The place needs a bit of work and a proper clean. The pictures always look better than what you actually see. The gardens are very overgrown & need some care. Blinds don’t work properly, shower needs updating & the side gate wouldn’t close so it was banging all night in the wind. But a great space with lots of room for a group
Comfortable, spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. 2nd toilet came in handy. Made use of the little firepit. The location was much better than expected. 5 min easy (not steep) walk to main shopping and cafe area, 10 min walk to river mouth/beach, 2 min walk to access the coastal and heathland walks where we saw a wallaby and a smattering of wildflowers in April. Would book again.
Clean and tidy accommodation in a great location. The booking process and communication with property manager was fantastic. We would definitely stay again and recommend this property

Great accommodation with a fabulous beach holiday feel. Location is spot on, close to absolutely everything! And the outdoor area, with deck, large yard and fire pit, was perfect to enjoy in the sunshine and relax. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your wonderful review. We're very happy that you enjoyed your stay, and would welcome you back anytime.
We found the house very clean and tidy. In a great location near the local beach and shops as well as very easy driving distance to all the other beaches and waterfalls we were after.
A simple and relaxing rest we needed.
We had a very rainy weekend stay in Anglesea, but despite the rain we had a great time and the house is in a perfect location and even had games to keep us entertained.
Gorgeous house in a terrific location. Very clean and great furnishings/appliances. Property manager was very efficient with a solution when we had to call them about a beeping smoke alarm. We had a wonderful holiday here and will come back again.
