Terrific Torquay

Loved Beach Cottage. Great location so close to the beach and a very pleasant walk to the town. It is well equipped, has comfortable beds and delightful gardens. A really relaxing home. Coffee at the Salty Dog early morning, meals at the Bowlo, the Torquay Hotel and Il Matto all very good. Sandra very quick to respond to any requests.

Beach cottage a great spot

This place is in a fabulous location- close to the beach, a walk into town centre but far away to avoid the busyness of peak holiday season. The cottage had everything we needed and was a little oasis. Thanks.

Fantastic beach house

It was perfect, fantastic light lounge and kitchen, great mattresses and quiet at night for sleeping. Wonderful location just across the road from the beach and a short dive to the main shops. We also loved the off road parking and relaxing in the bath and it's great having two bathrooms. Everything you could need, thanks so much.

Torquay beachside

A cosy property in a superb position. Upstairs heats up very readily <28deg days -not sure how the air-con would cope in hotter weather. Couches were very uncomfortable for us. Lovely garden setting. Great walking paths nearby with little need for the car once there.

Thank you for your positive review, Louise. We are in a superb location with a private garden setting. The upstairs is bright and sunny which is perfect for most of the year. The aircon does work well in hotter weather. In addition, the joys of living by the beach mean that we also get to enjoy the sea breeze in the afternoons by simply opening up the doors and windows. The couches are soon to be replaced but thank you for your feedback.

Would recommend this rental great location walkable distance to beach with kids.

Great little house provided with everything plus lots of little extra’s shampoo, dish washing liquid salt pepper. Would like to see dead lock on front door as we had child with special needs. A a lock on driveway gate that locks , but otherwise couldn’t fault accommodation will be back, we loved our short stay.

Relaxing

Sandra is a good host and her property is clean and spacious enough for the 5 of us. Close walking distance to the water but I was disappointed with the lack of water views. I would certainly recommend to other families.

Wonderful Cosy Cottage

We had a weekend stay here for two of us to participate in the Great Ocean & Otway Classic Ride. Sandra was great with information prior to our arrival, and was happy for us to check-out a little later than usual. The house was spotlessly clean upon arrival. The property is quite private, but close to The Esplanade and beach. The living space is not huge, but was fine for 3 adults and 1 child. A well-appointed kitchen made meal preparation easy. The only minor hassle for residents in the upstairs bedroom is that the toilets and bathrooms are all downstairs. We very much enjoyed our short stay, and plan to return during slightly warmer weather to make the most of the proximity to the beach!

Most enjoyable stay

Our stay in the Beach Cottage was very relaxing as our host Sandra left no detail unattended, so clean and lots of supplies provided. Location perfect close to beach front and a nice walk to main shops. Thankyou Sandra for an enjoyable stay, will defiantly be back for a longer stay next time. Amalia. L

Great place for a break.

Sandra was helpful and prompt in her replies to my enquiry’s. Booking was simple. The location was 20 minute walk to town centre and cafes and a 4 minute drive. Beach was across the road so 2 minute walk. House was lovely, peaceful clean and well equipped. We had a lovely stay and would book again.
