We really enjoyed our stay at Barefoot in Blairgowrie. The location is great being right on the beach and also quiet being at the back beach rather than the peninsula side. The house is very stylish and well laid out and it was great having the pool, which got sun for most of the day, to use for lazy days by the pool or for an early morning swim or to come back to after a few hours out hiking, etc. The house is also well equipped as a holiday home with a well equipped kitchen, bbq, pizza oven, etc. Management/host communication was also very good. We will stay again.
A beautiful space to experience a beach stay with a genuine beach house vibe and comfy Beds as well. However, when you're charged a premium price, you expect all amenities advertised to entice you to the property, to be available. The heated pool advertised was not heated and the owners would have known this. I don't have any problem with House Rules but the "List of Commands" I received after the money was whisked out of my bank account, would have put me off using the property if I'd seen them first. For instance, I was expected to put the owners wheelie bins out to the curb or be
charged $50 a bin, after staying less than 48hrs and so the list went on.

Location amazing, cleanliness and property manager not so much
The location and design of this property is beautiful, so secluded, quiet, and beautifully thought out. My children and I loved the pool, the close proximity to the beach and the feeling of being isolated.
However, upon arriving at the property the floor across the whole property was filthy, I spent two hours sweeping and hoovering everywhere. I even found nail clippings. There was also towels missing. I contacted the property team and was told that dust etc can blow in and I will just need to sweep up everyday. This is not acceptable, even if this is the case what I found upon arriving was not a daily amount, and in any case the team should make sure that when I arrive the property is in top cleaning shape. I was very disappointed, especially with how this was managed.
The property only had one bathroom, a negative for a family, there is no bin in the bathroom which is against property letting rules.
I would suggest adding more locks on the doors, the locks on the outside doors are all very flimsy and I didn’t feel particularly comfortable in the evenings.
The beds are very uncomfortable, very hard and small, as they are only double beds. The pillows are also very uncomfortable. I really didn’t sleep well for the entire 10 nights.
The bedside tables are also a problem, they a block of wood that holds the bedside light only, no room for anything else so if you want a drink or somewhere to pop something down then you will need to use the floor, not ideal, especially with the dusty floors.
The icing on the cake for me was the property manager. I left a necklace at the house and asked if they could possibly send it to me back in Melbourne. They said yes and sent it to me: they then asked me for $10.99 after it has been sent, not before to ask for authorisation. They have taken this out my stayz account without me giving the go ahead. I was also incredibly surprised that they missed the opportunity for customer service. I paid $8000 for 10 nights, yet they demand $10.99 to post a necklace. I own a few holiday homes and honestly, this is such a lack in judgement. Due to this I will not be recommending the property to my friends in Melbourne.
It is a beautiful property with the opportunity to be amazing go if managed correctly. The owners should have a conversation with the team to establish higher standards.
The property was nice and close to lovely beach walks and only short drive to the shops.
The place was nice and clean and we really enjoyed our stay there.
