Xmas break

Our stay was great. Location was excellent, walking distance from the beach (with cafe) and town. Perfect for us with our dog. Kids were able to walk into town to get a gelato easily. The kitchen & pantry were well equipped, and the new bbq got a workout. Beds were comfortable also.

Fully enclosed yard with carport, and a deck overlooking the reserve at the rear of the property. Comfortable beds and couches in the lounge room - one couch being a sofa bed. Property was well maintained and had everything we needed for our weeks holiday.

Great location for a family getaway.

Stayed with my husband, teenage boys,, my sister, her partner and their dog. The house had everything you need for a relaxed get away, get together. The location was perfect- an easy walk to the beach and local shops along a pretty track and then the beach. The kitchen was well equiped and the deck was perfect for sitting down to share a meal. Plenty of bedding options and it was great to have a room the teenagers could retreat to. Would definitely recommend a stay Mel Townsville

Wonderful people and great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The owners of Surf Coast Getaway are extremely kind, thoughtful people, who go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at home. Nothing is a bother to them and made our stay and move to Victoria much easier. The house was inviting and had everything, even all the essentials. Not only that, but flowers on arrival and if anything went wrong, they fixed and helped immediately. It’s really nice to meet such lovely people and feel so welcomed.

8/10 Good

The property manager was excellent, very responsive. When the toaster shorted out she dropped off a new one the same day. The property is well located and in pretty good condition. There were just a few improvements that could have made it better. The verandah is really lovely but there are no comfortable chairs to actually sit in out there, which is a wasted opportunity. Hard to lounge around reading a book on a dining chair! Otherwise a great stay. Thanks.

Thank you so much for your kind words and helpful feedback. I’m glad we could sort the toaster quickly and that you enjoyed the location and overall stay. We appreciate the suggestion about the verandah seating — it’s great feedback and something we’ll definitely take on board. Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back in the future.

Home in Torquay, VIC

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Whilst you could possibly walk to the town centre from the property in spring and summer, it is too far away to do so in the cooler months. The outside of the property is quite run down and needs significant maintenance. The bedding and towels were clean and the beds comfortable. The bathroom was clean however the kitchen and bathroom is very dated. The furniture is old and worn. The property had a damp, stale smell when we walked in. There is insufficient external lighting to the property and we had to use our phones in order to see our way to the entrance of the home.
