Great location with only short walks to the shops and beach. The outdoor deck area was great for the kids on the wetter days during our stay and was much enjoyed by the adults too. House is well suited with families and kids.

Hi Yoli
Thanks for your feedback glad you enjoyed the stay, yes Wispering Waves is very family friendly and in a great spot close to beach and not far from the shops. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Ocean Grove and had time to explore the Bellarien Peninsula.

Second stay at property, really suitable for 3 adults and three teenagers. Medium age property with two living areas (one the outdoor deck area) and two bathrooms makes the stay more enjoyable. It’s a few streets from the beach and shops and has lots of extras in the kitchen and cleaning products to maintain a tidy property. I would recommend.
Great break, well needed after more Melbourne lockdowns. Location was perfect, short walk to the beach and long walk or short drive to the shops. Good covered outdoor space for everyone to eat and chill out in the evenings.

Rundown
Checkin was easy
House was sort of clean inside but the whole place is very rundown.
The mop and broom was very dirty and full of hair and cobwebs.
The vacuum cleaner needs a clean as the whole house smelled after vacuuming.
The outside looks bad with no gardening or watering done in a long long time.
Location is all that had a-value in this rental.

Hi Etienne,
Thanks for your feedback, Wispering Waves is a great beach house for larger family groups, the outdoor deck is amazing. It is very hard to grow anything in the front garden there as the soil is just sand from the beach as the house is so close to the ocean, and it gets a bit dusty outside, so the garden looks a bit dry. Wispering Waves is an older style beach house which has had some updates/renovations inside. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Ocean Grove and appreciated the location of the house being so close to the Ocean. Best wishes. Barwon Grove Holiday Rentals.
House was great, and was well suited for family and kids. Meryll was contactable always and also lovely to deal with it.
