Accommodation was very comfortable, the house had everything needed for a short or long stay. Decor was gorgeous, and location fantastic. Quiet, but walking distance to the Barwon Heads action.

Cozy Holiday Home

Easy walk to everything, property is beautifully presented, felt like home away from home. Kids enjoyed playing in the garden and the beach so close is a huge win. We have added this to our “favourites” list of places to stay.

The house was a classic beach house and had lovely decor and bedding and was very clean. Back yard was also a great spot to enjoy. The host was fantastic and responded straight away to any queries we had. The only thing it lacked was a dishwasher, and the microwave could have been lower down/ on the bench. We had a great stay and would stay again.

We had the best time with our family of six visiting Raff’s for the second time. The house had everything we needed for the week, and the yard was perfect for the kids to run around in. There were also lots of books, board games, and treats waiting for us on arrival.The house was clean, comfortable, and well set up, and communication with the hosts was easy and responsive. The location was ideal for exploring Barwon Heads Village and the river. A truly memorable trip — we would definitely recommend this place to others.

We loved this place and will come back when we get to Barwon again. It has a really nice fit out and doesn't feel like a thrown together Stayz place. There's a huge garden - great for the kids running around and playing.We came in early winter, and the heating and gas fireplace worked really well. The oven and stovetop is good as well, which made it great for settling in at night and in the morning.The hosts were also very responsive.We had an issue with the internet dropping out on the TV when trying to use streaming services. Not sure if it was a TV or internet problem. But it was a small thing in an otherwise great Stay.

Thanks so much Hamish for your very kind review. Sorry to hear about the internet dropping out. The TV is new so likely may have been a temporary internet issue, as we haven't had any feedback on this problem previously. We will look into it. Thanks again for choosing Raffs for your family holiday.

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed here. It’s a very cute cottage in an amazing location in beautiful Barwon Heads. The cottage is beautifully updated with modern bathrooms and kitchen. The hosts have kitted it out beautifully and we found we everything we needed to cook and BBQ. Gas heater is perfect for the cold evenings. Overall a wonderful place for the family.

Fantastic spot

We came down for a wedding in Barwon Heads and ended up not just going to a wedding at one of the lovely wineries but enjoying the food, walks/runs, wines! The house was centrally locates for all of the above and we even utilised the heater in the cooler weather. House has everything we needed and we were very happy with all the facilities and the backyard for sitting in the afternoon sun!
