Weekend away with dogs

Perfect for what we wanted travelling with 3 dogs. Huge secure grassy backyard that our 2 labs and jack Russell could run around. We enjoyed the bbq sitting out on the back deck. Great communication and easy check in. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was excellent for pets 10 / 10 , huge secure yard . The property was advertised as having dvd player so took lots of dvds however there was not a player .The cooking was as described ( no oven ) bbq with side burner , needed small saucepan and frypan to cook on side burner , there was a microwave with not really suitable containers with lids .For 1 or 2 day stay ok , but weekly stays where you are eating in due to dog , a few more cooking things would be appreciated , also an iron for long stays .The house had a good heater , and was in an excellent location .

Beach shack in perfect location

As a family of 4 (7yo and 4yo) plus a dog we loved staying at this house - neat and comfortable inside, the big yard and secluded location was great. Outdoor BBQ supplements lack of indoor cooktop. Short walk to footbridge and main beach - and the rest of the Esplanade!

Wonderful two days

Quiet and peaceful house set well back from the road yet right in the heart of Lakes Entrance. Fabulous location and lovely back yard if you have a pet. Our mini groodle absolutely loved it and refused to get in the car when it was time to leave. And what a beautiful spot Lakes Entrance is!

Lovely stay with an abundance of space in great location

Lovely and clean house. Plenty of space inside and out.The yard is huge and very well maintained. Perfect space for our dogs, they loved having the space to run around. Plenty of outdoor seating and great BBQ. Being in the heart of town, it was surprising how much space and how private it is. Everything is in walking distance. The setup was perfect for us. We would definately stay here again.

Fabulous place in perfect location

Gorgeous little place in a wonderful location. Spacious bedrooms, bathroom and living area, with great outdoor area with deck and plenty of room in the yard to play. No stove/oven but it wasn’t even an issue when BBQ, microwave and toaster did the job. Located on a perfect spot, between the main foreshore, to the beach and Woolies and walking distance to everything.Great coffee at Gippsland Jersey out the front. Would absolutely stay here again! Easy check in and communication with host. Many thanks.

Excellent, private location

Large secure yard which our dogs loved. Accomodation had all the basics we needed minus a cooktop, however given the weather, the bbq was more than sufficient for our needs.

House and large block - convenient location

So surprised by the size of the property. The house was so cosy and it wa so appreciated that we could bring our 21 year old pet bird Flash - who had a great stay with all the local birds welcoming him. Walking distance to all we wanted to do which was great. Lovely quiet location.
