Where does one start. Now, what I’m going to write is not a complaint but observations. On entering the house, it had a stale smell, probably been locked up for a while; on the surface it looked clean but a little tired. The window in the lower bed room, I had to force open. I went upstairs to the bedroom loft and found the hand rail was sticky (my partner cleaned it). The kitchen benches clean, some coffee stains on a wall were almost cleaned off, the fridge clean inside and out except for the top of the fridge and the items on it are covered in grime. Do you want me to keep going? I could tell you about the window in the dunny not opening, the badly finished shower or how the three sliding doors that needs a lot of maintenance. Lastly if they were to clean the windows it may make the place sparkle.

Badminton joy!

Lovely property, wonderful garden and great location. We would say that the price was a bit high given the beds were more like sofa beds but the rest of the property was lovely and easy to use.

A basic house

A nice house but there was no microwave or WiFi. The dishes were not clean and there was not adequate equipment to wash dishes such as a dish cloth. It was rather bothersome that I had to spend time washing dishes before I could use them. Not good value for money.

Light filled chalet in the gorgeous seaside village of Barwon Heads.

This light filled home is truly unique. Filled with treasures from around the world, it was cosy with a lovely wood stove, bedroom in the loft up some stairs, a second bedroom downstairs, and a glorious backyard filled with native plants and birds. Would definitely stay here again, just a 10 minute walk to the lovely village of Barwon Heads. The only thing it lacked which would have topped it off for us was a bath, but we loved it.

A real holiday house

Just the cosy cute holiday home I remember when I was a child. Simple, easy and relaxing. What a cute home and really felt private and cosy, with such a great back yard to relax or play games with children.

Charming

We loved our stay in this charming home so close to the beach and shops. Enjoyed the backyard and the games and the fireplace. We do have small children so the stairs and wide timber slats weren’t ideal, which meant a few panicked moments chasing them up the stairs. Besides that, it was just what we needed for a weekend getaway.

peaceful time away

While the oven and stove top are dated and difficult to work with the oven not working during our stay, the home was clean, warm and secluded, resulting in a peaceful and relaxing time away while being in a great location

Rustic charm

Very basic with “rustic charm”. Beautiful backyard with north facing back deck ruined by long and unkept lawns. Facilities very simple with not a wine glass in sight. Have stayed in many places in Barwon Heads, this is the first time I have been disappointed. Please have an electrician check your place.

Cool little house, nicely decorated. Short walk to shops and beach

We enjoyed relaxing on the back deck listening to the birds. after a day at the beach and exploring Barwon heads. The house has so so much charm and zen. We were a bit short on linen and the lawn was quite long. Other than that it’s a great little place to stay
