House is comfortable and has all needed. Curtains, especially in main bedroom do not fully cover window allowing morning sun to come in and very small lounge room. We enjoyed our stay, easy checkin with option to self clean if you choose
Previous reviewers have summed it up well - Dolittle is a neat and simple place to stay for a small group. No major frills, but very clean and comfortable.
The property is well located in the town. Very walkable from the main Street of Robe and, in the other direction, even closer to Sky Seafood (recommended) and the Robe Brewery.
The host was very communicative and helpful too.
Dolittle was a good option for our family group of five.

Family friendly!
I think this place is a perfect example of you get what you pay for! It's on the cheaper side and is very basic yet pleasant! Nothing is new so you don't have to worry about the kids being kids- the toys and dvds provided were a hit! The house has a lovely lived in feel with a huge grassed back yard which was popular with the kids and the beds are comfortable! Only concerns were the curtains didn't block out the light- issue with kids! And the microwave was a pain to use! Otherwise FAB location as we walked to the Main Street, mahalia coffee shop & an awesome playground!

A very comfortable and well equipped house, with everything needed for a holiday.
Also a handy location, near enough to all facilities, but not in the noisy centre of town. It makes for an enjoyable stay.
