Great weekend away

Fantastic place with great communication from Jen. Every detail as per the photos, and our kids loved the DVDs, toys and games. A very cosy open fireplace made for nice winter nights too. Would definitely stay again.

Peaceful beach getaway

We liked the location just 10mins walk to beach down the hill and that’s where the shops and restaurants were too. The garden is very well kept and so peaceful to sit in with a book or enjoy the firepit at night with marshmallows. TV had all the latest streaming services which suited the family. Plenty of space for playing board games. Lots of areas for family to spread out.

Comfortable house, great location

Lovely quiet location in Blairgowrie, short walk to the beach and shops. Comfortable beds, also lounge & dining chairs all very comfy. Good outdoors dining area when weather allows & although we didn't have dogs, it looked to be a very safe large area for them to enjoy. Unfortunately Netflix etc were unavailable unless you used your own subscription & the lovely bath wouldn't retain water more than a couple of inches. I'm sure these things would be easily fixed for the next tenants.

Lovely, relaxing retreat

Really lovely beach house in a quiet street in a fantastic location. Easy walking distance to shops for great coffee and food. We really enjoyed the garden - fabulous deck to sit/eat at and lots of space for kids/dogs to relax/play outdoors. The house was impeccably presented. Jen has gone to a lot of trouble and with three teens in tow, having two living areas was great. Kitchen was well stocked. We also enjoyed taking our dog with us and she was very happy exploring the big, fenced garden. Finally, we appreciated the early check in and late check out. Made for a very relaxing weekend. Thank you Jen for letting us stay at your house.

Great Place in Peaceful Surroundings

We had a great 2 weeks at Jen's place. Quiet cul-de-sac location but close enough to walk to Blairgowrie shops for a coffee. Short drive to Woolworths at Ryde. It was perfect for us. Plenty of space for adults/kids-teens to chill in their own way both inside and out no matter what the weather. TV and games available for entertainment. Nicely appointed kitchen Comfortable beds for a good nights sleep and plenty of storage. Lovely landscaped garden, all secure such that our spaniel had a great time too. Others have pointed out there is one toilet, but it is separate from the showers/bathrooms so we managed without any fuss. Thank you Jen for the homely touches of nice toiletries, throws for the chilly evenings and we were very grateful for the welcoming wine, and pantry staples to get us up and running on the cooking front. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Pet friendly family beach suburb getaway

We needed a relaxing break with our girls and our 2 english staffies of which 1 had a recent op , so needed a lovely home with nice indoor and outdoor space that was easy to navigate. This house had everything we needed for that and more. It's also the little extras that Jen offers that make such a welcome difference. Nice soaps , shampoos /conditioners / range of fresh tea towels/ hand towels/ body wash / lovely toiletpaper ! Good stock of so much in the kitchen and laundry & my favourite - the coffee machine with lots of pods + the bath.- oh that was great me time ! Clean kitchen/ fridge and the cleanest oven I think of any pet friendly home we've stayed in. We knew it only had 1 toilet. Perhaps in future , they'll make room for an extra toilet which would come in handy , though we didn't have an issue with it on this occassion. The house is even better viewing in person, our dogs were very very happy , the fully fenced back yard is great for everyone including pets with a little extra wander around the tee treas at the very back. Great quiet location. We had 1 rainy day in and made use of the fabulous fireplace and binged a netflix series. It was a dream . Hubby relaxed with streaming of NBA games for the entire stay , he was in heaven with that ! We love the ease of walking to Blairgowrie main street precinct and beach . There's all we needed /wanted in that strip inluding your fab pizza suggestion and shopping . Sorrento is just a few mins drive and there is so much to do on the peninsula. Thank you to Jen and family for the lovely Easter box we found when we arrived. I wish we could have stayed longer , but alas will just have to dream about organising the next getaway. Much appreciation Natalija and family

A lovely spot!

Very spacious living areas, great deck and lovely garden. Walkable to front and back beaches and Blairgowrie shops. Very pleasant spot for sun and sea breezes. Note that although there’s two showers plus an outdoor shower, there’s only one toilet and proper vanity.

Highly Recommend Spacious Well Equipped Family House

Just wanted to send you a quick note to say how pleased we were with our accommodation. Your house was absolutely perfect for us. Lots of space for our grown up teenagers and us to spread out. We loved the house. It is very well equipped. Really well setup for families with everything you could possibly need. Wish we could of stayed longer to enjoy the fantastic back yard and also the area. The house is in such a quiet and sheltered spot. Your communication was great and very welcoming. We would highly recommend your house.
