We loved the house and how relaxed and easy everything felt. Everything is in walking distance — great cafes, bakery, restaurants and the Bruns Hotel. Morning swims in the river were a highlight for our daughter with a disability. No traffic, no crowds, just a genuine village feel and a laid-back stay.

The location, comfort and layout of the house were excellent .The kitchen amenities were good with plenty of crockery and cutlery. The BBQ was in excellent condition and clean. The only draw back is that there is no dishwasher and the bedrooms needed (more) shelving and/or chester draws.

Thank you for your review & feedback Raphael. It’s great to hear that you were happy with everything. Being an original 1936 beach cottage, there are limitations with adding a dishwasher. I’m pleased that you were satisfied with the provision of cutlery, crockery etc & found the rest of the home comfortable. Thank you for taking such great care of the home & hopefully you will visit again!

Amazing location and Wonderful Home

This beautiful home was the perfect mix of comfortable and cozy in evening and open, light and spacious during the day. We spent our morning at the beach and enjoying the cafes in Brunswick and afternoons on the deck drinking wine and enjoying life. We highly recommend this wonderful home both because the home is perfectly catered for, the location is great and the host was absolutely delightful and flexible to ensure we had an exceptional stay. We cant wait to stay again

House by the beach

Everybody loved the house and the easy access to the beach through the coastal greenery. Thhe equipment supplied was excellent - plenty of plates, dishes, cutlery cups etc. The Nespresso coffee machine was excellent with a good supply of capsules. Excellent toaster - 4 slices at a time. The upstairs living was great - lots of light and interesting reading matter. As for improvements, perhaps some blinds upstairs to provide some privacy from the across the road at night. To sum up, it exceded my expectations. Very good value for money. Will be coming back sometime I hope.
