Rest and Recoup

We loved everything about Pelican Brief. The moment we opened the door and saw the canal view we knew we were going to be having 4 days of pure relaxation. Waiting for us on the kitchen bench was the most scrumptious loaf of fresh bread, butter and blueberry jam. This served us for all the days we weee there. The place is clean, a HD giant TV, lovely hot showers and a few quirky swans waiting for food at the bottom of the stairs on the canal. The pick up of the key was super easy and Paynesville is beautiful. We would recommend eating out at Sardine. We had the degustation menu and cannot fault this place one bit. It was AMAZING and is a one hat restaurant. Thankyou for letting my mum and I stay in your beautiful house. We would love to come and stay here again! Anita and Brigitte

Location Pelican Brief

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I think this is our 5th stay here and we keep coming back. it is a perfect location for us who mostly walk everywhere, so easy access to town. The property has a lovely view, being on the canal. As much as we love this property, we immediately noticed that the standard of cleaning had deteriorated. the mop hadnt been out of the cupboard in a long time, the floors (bathroom & kitchen) are in dire need of a clean. I found a scrubbing brush & went to work on the kitchen bench & sink. There is usually some cleaning products in the laundry, none to be found this time, though there was a spray & wipe type of spray in the kitchen. The vacuum filter needs replacing, the vacuum was clogged with hair and really isnt fit for purpose. In summary, great property & location, lift the standard of cleaning, and there is no doubt we will be back. thank you

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pelican Brief met all our expectations, the house was clean and tidy, beds very comfortable and the deck was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view, sunsets and the passing swans and pelicans. Great to have our own dock as we moored our sailboat there which made for easy getaways when sailing.
