* The premise was clean and easy to access. * I made three phone calls to the host in all; one before and two after we had arrived and her voice was friendly, her advice helpful.* The centre of town easy to get to and the people were friendly.

Portarlington Family Reunion

We all travelled from WA to our family reunion at my brother’s place in Portarlington. Location was ideal because sometimes we walked bayside to enjoy the surrounds. Our food prep was easy with the well equipped kitchen. The place was spacious and welcoming and it was easy to come and go. Thanks Joanne for a fantastic stay.

Perfect for a family catch up

This house was a wonderful large house with great yard and plenty of parking. Comfy beds and easy walk to beach. The house is aging, but had everything we needed including a very well equipped kitchen. The hosts were kind and responsive. We would definately come back again. Thanks for sharing your house with us!

Great!

The house is great! Plenty of space for children and adults. 2 living rooms were a big bonus since the weather was unfortunately quite wet. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. You can see the water from the back balcony and it’s Just a really short walk to the beach! We had a great time and highly recommend!

Perfect location

This beautiful quaint beach home was the perfect place to host our first family great away. It comfortably allowed the 10 of us to create memories and share laughter. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and the two kitchen areas work very well for the two families with little children. The backyard was spacious with green grass to play on and secured by a large wooden gate. The beach is only a three minute walk and the views from the balcony were breathtaking. Joanne communicated on several occasions to make sure we were comfortable and if we needed anything. Definitely would not hesitate to recommend this beach house.
