Before Xmas getaway

Great location, lovely property. Well fenced for the dogs, with enough grassed areas to chill.. We stayed 6 nights and the only thing on the wishlist would be a doggie door. Hoping to stay again.

Loved our stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Barwon Abode. The house was spotless, beautifully presented and well equipped. It's in a quiet area near the river and a good walk to the main street. It has a great layout and would suit two families easily. The yard was secure and our dog loved running around it. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again.

The house was perfect for what we wanted - something dog friendly (great backyard), walking distance to the main street and clean. The house & furnishings were lovely. We had a few bbqs out in the backyard, perfect way to end a day of visiting local areas.
