We have stayed multiple time times at the Dromana Bay Views Retreat before. The hosts have been very helpful and easy to communicate with, as always. The house has been recently updated, with the balcony and backyard gaining a lot from the update. We would like to stay here again in the future, if we can.
We stayed at this property several times previously and have always enjoyed it, and so was this time. Many thanks to the hosts who are always happy to assist with any issues. We hope to come back here again in the future!
The host, Melissa, was very welcoming and responded promptly to emails and requests. My husband and I stayed comfortably with our 2 teens, our younger son, and our mothers. We were all very pleased with our stay.The house is spacious with magnificent views. The private pool is solar-heated, which is perfect for Victoria's cooler summer days.I know it is listed and we were well aware, but this property would be absolutely perfect if it had a dishwasher and wi-fi. I would book this property again.
It was our seventh or eights stay in this particular Dromana house and we had great time there, as before. The house is clean, the location is private and quiet, with excellent views. The hosts respond to any queries quickly and constructively. We hope to spend more time in this house in the future.

Thank you for your glowing review, you’re wonderful guests and welcome anytime. We’re so glad you enjoy our property.
Just to summarise this property was beautiful from the location, to cleanliness etc but most of all the owners are such a delight to deal with and so flexible and understanding.
If I stay at Dromana again and this property is available I’ll be here again.
We had a great time staying at this property, as on the previous occasions. The hosts are always happy to assist with any issues. The house and location are excellent, and the weather was relatively kind to us too.
Ok found stairs very dangerous I fell twice no railing
Going down to pool also. Very uneven and dangerous my friends that came fell over
Only Chanel 9 works on both tvs upstairs
The place needs upgrading needs a dishwasher
For one person it’s ok but for more not good
Found the bedroom downstairs you have to go upstairs during the night if you need to go to toilet
The whole garden needs maintenance
Would I stay there again no!
Would I Recomend it definetly not
Fir the price there is so much better
I regret staying there

I’m sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay and our house did not meet your needs. However, our house description provided prior to your booking confirmation does state that we don’t have wifi or a dishwasher as well as a clear layout of the house and where the bedrooms and bathrooms are located. We appreciate your other comments which we will endeavour to address.
This is wonderful property and we stayed here before. The weather was kind to us and we had a great time. Looking forward to staying at this property in the future again.
My family and I had a lovely time at Melissa’s house. It was extremely spacious, the kids loved the pool and adults loved the view. We would like to staying again.
Thank you Melissa for allowing us to stay at your rental property, And for always being prompt to respond to any questions, the views were beautiful, your house was a home away from home, we were all so fortunate to enjoy the pool, the pool is in the best location with the sun on it from sunrise to sunset, so the water was always warm, we all enjoyed playing pool, but would be good to have an outdoor setting down stairs, overall a very clean house except for the window seals, The location is central not far to drive anywhere, the only complaint is the TV in the main bedroom doesn’t have good reception on many channels and the steep driveway, but l would Highly recommend this rental and l would consider returning.
Kind regards
Sandra
We spent most of our week sitting on the balcony enjoying the amazing views of the bay. The pool was also fantastic.
An older property in need of some renovation, garden maintenance and cleaning (and a bathroom for the downstairs bedroom). Otherwise, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.
