Reviews
Kristina from Australia (9/10)
The house was lovely and spacious, a bit older inside but that aspect made the house feel more comfortable and like home. Location really close to the beach and main street of Portarlington. Beds extremely comfortable.
Kellie from Australia (8/10)
This place is great for families, and the view is amazing
Kathleen from Australia (8/10)
My family and I loved the Nautical touches and the styling of the property. The rooms were spacious and we were all able to sit together at the table and in the lounge. The outdoor areas were also lovely (the balcony and downstairs patio and BBQ area). Everything we needed was available in the kitchen (pots and pans etc, tea and coffee) but you do need to bring oil, flour etc and other food items as only salt and pepper are supplied in the pantry. Lots of music and CD players. We didn't use the entertainment system so not sure what was available there. Games also available. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Kids enjoyed play stuff providedKaz from Australia (9/10)
We liked it all, it was clean, great location, excellent views and accommodated the 4 adults very comfortably. I had no direct interaction with the staff, but all digital communication was clear, polite and timely. Out of hours check in was seamless, and all advertised amenities were there and working. I would definitely stay again
