Girls Weekend

A lovely quiet property that met all our needs. Ideal location, only a 7 minute drive to Portarlington and a short walk to the beach. Very well equipped kitchen, including a fridge with an ice maker/chilled water machine which was fantastic as it was an extremely hot weekend. Comfortable beds and good sized bathroom. A nice back yard with outdoor furniture & BBQ. We enjoyed our stay very much, we were there for an annual line dancing event and plan to come back again next year!

Loved the deep long bath and our dog loved the big fenced-in backyard and we all enjoyed the Indented Head beach an easy walk away. 10 min drive to PortArlington.

A lovely place to stay. It has everything you need to make your holiday away from home easy!

Very positive! Neat & clean house. Everything you need. Jenny was prompt and clear with her communication. The backyard is enclosed for larger dogs but both our small Jack Russells (2yo and 3months) got off their leads at various times and escaped under the house to get out the front. A bit stressful trying to keep them in and had to keep them tied up. The shower has an open screen so the water can run out under the door if you're not used to the open screen! (eg: my boys!) The house is in close proximity to the flat, safe beach for a walk and a 20min drive to the wave front beach at Ovean Grove. Thanks Jenny!

Lovely home.

Such a beautiful home. It was great to stay somewhere where dogs were securely fenced - and the place was so close to the beach and playgrounds. Our host Jenny was so responsive and went out of her way to help us arrive earlier also. We will definitely be back.
