Great place for friends to have a quiet weekend

We had a lovely stay at this property, which had plenty of space for eating dinner and for relaxing both indoors and outdoors. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable, and the view divine. We hope to stay again!

Great spot for a weekend getaway.

A great spot to spend a weekend with a family. Unfortunately our commitments over the weekend did not allow us to take full advantage of the house or it’s location.

Loved every minute!

We have stayed here a few times now and each and every time has been amazing. The location of this property is perfection, the water as your backyard with the most incredible view of the you yangs. The house is stocked with everything you could need and more from towels, to kitchenwares, laundry, wifi and board games! And Sarah is the most lovely and kind person to deal with, her communication is top notch and I can’t thank her enough for allowing us to continually share her gorgeous home with her. This is the only house we stay at every time we go to portarlington and we look forward to many more stays in the future!

Wonderful location and generous host

We had such a relaxing time. This house was great value and is very well equiped for families - we had 4 teenagers and wanted for nothing. The yard extends out to public space and sports a plenty were held there. The upstairs deck is the only concern and is in need of repair - not good for little ones but i feel thats reflected on price. We loved it here. Thanks

Great house with a lovely view from every bedroom

The small thing that caused a bit of an issue was there seemed to be done kind of pet fur on the bedding in the queen room which gave my school n hay fever so he had to change bedrooms.

Great house with an awesome view right on the beach!

Absolutely enjoyed our stay in Portarlington, would recommend and 100% be back again. The house is clean, has a great view and is fully equipped with all your daily needs. So risky sometimes as you’re not sure if the house will have basics but this house has it all- shampoo, conditioner, salt, pepper, oil, bbq tools, paper towel, etc etc!! This house has so much you don’t have to worry about bringing a thing! Even a handy speaker + games to keep you busy at night. Great for a weekend away with friends or with the whole family. Definitely recommend. Thanks so much for a great couple of days.

Relaxing except for all the spiders,dead bugs & webs.

Would’ve been perfect if the property had been cleaned properly. Dirty, dusty full of spiders cobwebs, dead bugs. Bed linen was not clean. Luckily found a can of spray & emptied the whole can. House needed a good high low clean. Bathroom drawers dirty full of empty soap containers & tumbleweeds of hair.Disappointing. If you are going to rent it out pay some attention to basic cleaning standards & presentation please

Great location but that’s where it stops

We checked in to arrive with half the power working. Couldn’t get the gas fire place working or the TV but some evap cooking/heating working and lights. Had to call owner then get called back to be told to take out all appliance cord from each PowerPoint and restart which I’m guessing isn’t a safe practice for us to do. Anyway power started working but Foxtel asked for log in and couldn’t get log in from owners as they said where to find but wasn’t there. TV hard to use. Beautiful view outside but all outdoor furniture covered in animal poo which you could tell hadn’t been cleaned. I don’t know why we paid a cleaning fee as cobwebs around the house, oven so dirty had to put foil down to put things in, windows do dirty took away from view. Was a real shame as great location. Looks like I can’t attach photos but I would have as I took photos of the oven, windows etc
