Guest comments: "Super clean, comfy and well-laid-out holiday home. Very well appointed and the provided linen was a bonus - no lugging sheets and towels to our holiday, so plenty of room for the rest of our luggage! In a quieter, picturesque part of Barwon Heads near the river. Great for walks, bike rides and a bit of peace at a busy time of the year (Easter). Would
definitely return...". - Daniela

Beautiful, spacious home well appointed with all you would need for a relaxing weekend, week ir more. Located a few steps from the river and a 20 minute walk from the wonderful township of Barwon Heads would highly recommend.
We found the house absolutely perfect for our two families. Plenty of room to move around, well appointed, everything you need for a holiday stay. Hope to be back again. Communication was extremely good.

Just one little request - would love a little coffee machine. The French Press is very nice, but nothing beats an espresso ;)

Ideal for 2 families with 8 in total. We had 9 so needed sofa bed which did the job. 100m walk to fish the Barwon River or to start a walk or bike ride along various trails. We were able to secure a trailer full of bikes behind locked gates in backyard which was awesome. Great spot and would highly recommend.
