Portarlington Festival Weekend

Unfortunately we had terrible weather, but the house was clean, comfortable beds with plenty of extra blankets, great views of the ocean and lovely and quiet. Plus it was close to the festival, but not too close. property manager was great and let us check in early and was contactable the whole time we were there.

Great position and Boat friendly

Great location and boat friendly, easy off street parking and pet friendly. We were surprised there were no towels, dish towels and a BBQ, luckily I brang a BBQ and towels just in case, very good host, nothing was a bother. Would stay again. Our little Silkies could not get out of the yard which was awesome.

great stay

We had a lovely stay , the location couldn't be more perfect. The house had everything you need however my one recommendation would be for a hair dryer :) I stayed with my husband but with the amount of beds it would be ideal for family holidays. We will come back , the owner was very supportive and easy to deal with during the booking process and after.

Affordable Seaside Getaway

Our family of 5 plus pet cat soaked up sand and sun on surrounding beaches. Well located on esplanade between Portarlington and Indented Head, suits walkers, bike riders and anglers, those prepared to get out and about. House has basic amenities and layout suited to active people, overall reminiscent of simple holiday houses of yester year. The host is very helpful and keen for guests to enjoy their stay

Christmas at Indented Head

Excellent location. House very comfortable and well appointed- although there could have been a couple of bigger cooking pots. Also third bed could have been made up. The owner was very easy to contact. We will have no hesitation in recommending this property to others.

Comfortable beach Shack

This property has everything you need to be comfortable however it could use a little TLC. Plenty of games for kids and the polished were easy to clean. The location and view were Fantastic and the neighbours were great. We loved sitting on the porch and taking it all in. The outdoor shower was very handy to wash off after a swim. In all, we we had a great holiday and would go back stay again.
