Great house in fantastic location!

We spent the weekend in Barwon Heads with our (adult) family and this was a great house! Plenty of space for everyone, it was spotlessly clean, and the property managers were super-easy to deal with and responsive. The location is exceptional - 3 mins walk to the main shops/cafes/bars area, IGA just around the corner, and on a dead-end so no through traffic. Highly recommended and we’ll stay here again!

Family holiday

Great beach house in a great location, close to town and river. King bed really comfortable and had a fan for warm nights. Only suggestion would be to have fans in other three bedrooms as it was warm in these rooms. Overall a wonderful stay.

Fantastic house in an unbeatable location

We've stayed in this house a couple of times now because we love it. It's such an authentic coastal town house, but with all the facilities you need and expect to make for a comfortable weekend away with our grown up family.The location is perfect for us. A short walk back up the street to the main shopping and restaurant strip in Barwon Heads, so once the car is parked it stays there for the weekend!Thanks for a great stay.
