Relaxing stay in beautiful house

We loved our stay. The house was spacious, with everything we needed provided, nice and central to shops, the beach and Barwon River fishing spots. The yard was nice and secure for our dog, with a dog door so she could come and go. Would definitely stay again!

We had the best time at Noble Retreat. We spent a week up and back from the beach, walking dogs, helping my elderly parents enjoy a short break away. Boris has been really quick to respond and clear on what’s required. Easy peasy getaway.Will be planning another visit for sure.

Great family and pet friendly holiday home

We really enjoyed our stay in this property. The house was spacious for our family of four and pet dog. There are all the conveniences we needed including a spacious and well appointed kitchen and laundry, bbq and large outdoor area. The beautiful rear garden was such a highlight. The location is terrific being so close to the shops and beach.

Charming, Cosy & Convenient

Great location & is a house equipped with everything you need. We had teenagers & a border collie & it’s the type of place you can relax, without feeling like you need to worry about keeping things orderly. A short walk to Barwon Heads shops & the beach. Boris the owner was so lovely to deal with & genuinely cares about you enjoying the property.

Ideal getaway with a very small dog. She loved the garden and it was totally secure.

Very welcoming. My family enjoyed a visit. The air-conditioning and ceiling fans worked efficiently during the heat wave. Two small suggestions: that the owners' possessions be stored separately, perhaps in a locked cupboard. Also that the cleaners check the skirting boards and the corners at ground level, especially in the bathrooms. Otherwise everything else was clean.

Great spot

This house is in a great location in Barwon heads, easy walking distance to the shops, river beach and boat ramp. It has a charming garden which is very secure for doggos. The house is well oriented with a lovely sunny living and dining area at the rear. Beds were comfortable, and appreciated good books and board games. Communication with Boris was good, including the help he gave us with some issues we had on arrival. The only downside was that the house, particularly storage areas like robes and cupboards, was quite cluttered and the kitchen could have done with some fresh utensils (eg knives). Overall we had a lovely stay and would come again.

Perfect family stay with doggos.

Located only a short walk to the river, the town and the local reserve/playgrounds you’d think you’d be caught in a bit of hustle and bustle…? Nope! This property is tucked away and provides absolute tranquillity from the backyard and rear of the house - where living areas are located. It’s large, secure gates gave us peace of mind, having both our dog and small children holidaying with us. The home was comfortable and immaculate. The separate toilet, bathroom (with spa bath) and laundry set-up was particularly practical for those with small children. The lush green garden with many established trees provided amble shade throughout the day - we ate many a lunch out in the backyard!! This home has everything you need for the perfect stay down in Barwon Heads, particularly for those with a young family or accompanying pooch/es.
