Perfect spot from Melb to have that much needed ‘getaway’.
This holiday rental over Easter was perfect for us. We wanted a home away from home & that’s what we experienced. WiFi included is fab. And Foxtel too!! Kitchen is equipped with enough basic essentials & plenty of kitchen space for our own food supplies. (Woolies is JUST out the front door so we made use of that!)
Spacious bedrooms with lots of cupboard & drawer storage. Shampoo/conditioner in the showers was a lovely surprise!
Comfiest of comfy couch for our evening chill out.
Location was perfect for us. Lovely new estate. Torquay town centre only a short drive away.
Great backyard for small dogs. (2x side fences full height, currently a low back fence. We have two sighthounds so the rabbits & neighbourhood cats were a tease!!)
We didn’t need to make use of the laundry but did notice washing supplies available.
Thank you to the owners for offering a lovely house + facilities available to families + pets. We will be back ;)

Great place for a Couple or family to stay at
A nice modern, tidy property with everything you need for short or long stay. We where able to bring our dog as well which for us makes it so much more enjoyable. The secure garage was so handy to lock up the bikes and surfboards as well. You really need to bike or drive to the beach but that's ok and the only reason we gave the location 4 stars.

Great comfortable stay
It was a comfortable sized house with fabulous heating, two great showers, 3 good sized beds with linen, towels, shampoo/conditioners and bath gels provided. The bath was luxuriously big. We had issues with the portable cot on the first day and this was rectified asap and we enjoyed the rest of our stay. Location wise, as long as you have a car, everything is a short drive away, which didn’t bother us at all. We would recommend staying here.

Modern and bright
Modern with great facilities and a bright airy feel. Excellent for a housebound dog. It was very convenient for food shopping but It was not walking distance from the beach. You needed to use the car quite often. We had a very pleasant stay .

Clean and Quiet
Great house to stay in. Inside was clean and tidy. Has everything you need. Shampoo, Conditioner and shower gel is provided which was great. It was a bit far for us to walk to the beach and Torquay Town Centre, but it was a short convenient drive. It is walking distance to the Dunes Shopping Centre which has a Woolworths and a few other shops. Enjoyed our stay. Thanks
