Great family house.

Ideal family house

This was our third stay at this house. We find it ideal for our family which includes 6 children who have their own area downstairs - works so well for them and the adults. Beach is only a short walk away which is great. Kellie is a very accommodating host, easy to contact and made sure we had everything we needed.

This is a wonderful house for a family holiday.

The house is well equipped with everything you would need to have a comfortable stay. The attention to detail is amazing. We were 10 people (six adults, 3 children and 1 toddler) and we found everything we needed. E.G. all cooking implements, a wonderful table on the balcony that sits 10 people, a porta cot, a stair gate that installs very easily, games and toys including a ping pong table, beach chairs and paddle boards, etc. The house is also close to one of the beaches of Torquay. Kellie was a fantastic host, responding very quickly to any of our questions.

Great getaway, super close to beach

We had had a wonderful stay here. So close to the beautiful beach, leash free all year round for dogs. We loved the fireplace and bright upstairs living area. It had everything you need for a great holiday. Only drawback was being right on a noisy road, but once doors and windows were closed it was fine. Great communication from the host.

About the host

Hosted by Kellie Jasper

Host profile image
I'm a busy, working mother of three from Melbourne so when we get to holiday I want a place to relax, enjoy and to feel like I am on holidays and not just in another house.

Why they chose this property

We renovated a house to create a holiday home that our family loves, both for when the children were younger and for now that they are teens/young adults. We want others to enjoy the property and create precious family memories.

What makes this property unique

"Torquay Family Getaway" is comfortable, colourful and with lots of reminders that you are on holidays at the beach. It is set up to suit families - from very young families by providing a high chair, stair gate and portacot to young families with toys, books and board games to growing families (like mine) who need sports equipment, space for their friends, privacy, a smart TV and endless free WIFI.
