Indoor Outdoor Relaxed Stay

A very pleasant weekend away in Barwon heads. The property presently excellently, comfortably warm, clean, spacious, all the modern conveniences, great coffee machine and a wonderful fireplace. All we needed for an enjoyable family weekend away where the inclement weather was hardly a factor. Pet friendly was a big tick, thank you. Would love to stay again in the future.

Perfect short stay

Property was as described and depicted in photos. It was the perfect short stay for my husband and I and our elderly dog. We appreciated the open plan kitchen and lounge, quality appliances, ammenities and decor. Our dog enjoyed wandering safely around outside in the pleasant and secure front and back yard and snoozing under the big shade tree adjacent to a very comfortable deck and barbecue area.
