Well appointed well presented house in a beautiful area

The Stayz site was not easy to navigate in some aspects. The house was warm, very clean and generously appointed. The proximity to the beach , walks and kiosk was perfect.

Wonderful winter getaway

Thank you to Neville and Julie for letting us stay at their wonderful holiday house. The location could not be beaten and the house was clean, cozy and spacious. My family and I had a marvellous time exploring Cape Bridgewater and its surroundings over the week with the kids even befriending an inquisitive juvenille seal. We definitely hope to return in the future.

Great place with magnificent views.

Our stay was very relaxing. Would recommend it to anyone. One of our group left some clothing behind. Is there a number where we can reach somebody to organise a pick up?

Absolute magic

What a fabulous huge house and right opposite the awesome beach. We had a terrific 2 days. Extremely comfortable beds, good shower, it was just great. Sad we missed the echidna in the back garden, Neville sent me a photo after we left. We would definitely love to stay to there again.

A relaxing stay with amazing views of Bridgewater Beach!

Check in in was so simple and quick and it was no time before we were in and getting settled. The house was comfortable and was soon warm. We enjoyed the closeness to Portland and most importantly the beach right outside our windows. It was wintery weather but this didn't matter. We had a lovely holiday enjoying our time in this comfortable house.

Great location

Great situation next to beautiful beach and Great Western walking track. House spacious, well equipped and warm. Decor dated but everything works- although the shower needs some attention. Good heating with additional wood fire heater- small amount of wood provided. All in all very comfortable, with the location being the main draw card.

You can't beat this location! Stunning views of a beautiful bay and only 300 metres from an award-winning cafe. The home is old but comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. Getting into the house was easy. Some additional communication would have been nice to let us know the power would be out, which meant we had to look for the fuse box, and the fridge wasn't cold for our groceries. As well as the mouse infestation, which meant there was faeces on the benches, in cupboards and pots, and on one bed.

Hi Brian. Sorry about state of the grill. Have reminded our cleaner of the oversight. A plumber is installing a new cistern tomorrow so the second loo will be operative again. Thanks for your comments. As we live three hours away, we rely on guests reports. Cheers. Neville

Stunning location - awesome facilities

Orientation of house allowed for stunning views from kitchen, dining and lounge! Slow combustion heater in lounge was fabulous to have, so relaxing to read in front of the fire while watching the waves lapping on the sand!! It was a lovely surprise to find a Weber bbq in the garage and the fabulous collection of wetsuits and boogy boards / surfboards will ensure we will come back with our grown up children in the near future!! All this within walking distance to the cafe makes for the perfect holiday house!
