Great location but needs cleaning

The property is in a great location on the main strip in Barwon Heads. It is close enough to walk to the beach and the local shops. The property was neat but absolutely needs more cleaning, it was extremely dusty with spider webs everywhere... with little kids who like to play on the floor this was a huge problem and sparked up allergies. There is a vacuum on the premises but that looked like it had never been cleaned out. The washing machine filter was also completely disgusting and my clothes came out dirtier than when they went in. The host was great and allowed an early check in

Epic spot, right in the heart of village.

Very easy to communicate with Katherine, all as advertised, right in the middle of a lovely little lovely street, with a great breaky joint across road, and short walk to beach. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Kate's Place a real treat

We only spent 4 days at Kate's Place and it was delightful stay. From the time we opened the door we felt comfortable. The place was very tidy and clean and the ambience warm and welcoming. The place was equipped with all the amenities we needed. Our communications with Kathleen were most friendly and she was extremely accommodating. It was such a treat staying there and Kate's Place will definitely be our 'go to' place when we are next in Barwon Heads. Thank you, Kate. Paul & Jo

This place has everything!

We went here for a 2 night girl’s weekend. We wanted comfort, position, balcony and walking distance to everything. We got it all at Kate’s place. Super comfortable, warm and tastefully furnished. One of the highlights was the balcony. Despite being directly above a shop, with people walking past, they never looked up at us. So we still felt private and quite secluded. Great place, will definitely go back!
