Perfect!

I had a fantastic stay at Ian’s place in Torquay! The house had a cosy, relaxed vibe, perfect for a beachside getaway. It was well-equipped, clean, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The best part was that it was dog-friendly—my pup loved the space and the nearby walks! Ian was a great host, very welcoming and easy to communicate with. If you’re looking for a laid-back, pet-friendly spot in Torquay, this is definitely a great choice. Thanks, Ian!

Dog friendly house

Good spot for a quick stay with all the children. Children enjoyed collecting firewood on our adventures locally so that we could enjoy the warmth of the woodstove. It was bitterly cold the week we stayed and we piled every available blankets on our beds. Location next to the creek is great for some properly holiday play getting wet and muddy in nature

We enjoyed our stay at Parkside Beach House. It was ideal for taking our dog for walks to Fisho's beach along the reserve path. The heater worked well which was great.

Ok but not great value

Wouldn’t recommend compared to alternatives in Torquay. House is not well maintained, old fibro house which I’d suggest is structurally compromised. Very basic entertainment with limited channels on tv and no wifi. Will look for other alternatives next time. BBQ was good.

OK if you have a dog

This was the only available property over the Xmas period in Torquay, probably for good reason.The accommodation has no wifi, which is the minimum you expect these days but is made worse by having virtually no mobile coverage in the area.The place wasn't exactly clean or presented with any homely touches. Uncleaned ashtrays left in the kitchen, dusty and unvacuumed rooms. There are also what could be considered trip and fall hazards in the bathroom and between the lounge and kitchen.In summary, book as a last resort.
