Unfortunately l wasnt very impressed with this property. It was quite disappointing. So many instructions on how to operate everything, which wouldve been easier to deal with had they been sent a few days before and not the day l was actually leaving. Not much help from property manager, they take too long to respond if they respond at all. Bedrooms and linen nice & clean however would've been more appropriate to clean and take the dead ants away once they had sprayed the place. Location is spot on.
I had a regrettable experience staying at this property that failed to meet even the most basic standards of cleanliness and safety. Upon arrival, it was immediately apparent that the cleanliness of the bedding left much to be desired. Both the doonas and mattress protector were stained with what appeared to be bodily fluids & blood, a disturbing oversight that made it impossible for us to settle in comfortably. In fact, the state of cleanliness was so poor that the cleaner had to be called back before we could even consider staying at the property, setting a disappointing tone for the entire visit.
Moving beyond hygiene concerns, the property was riddled with maintenance issues that posed serious hazards to guests. Filthy glasses and cutlery greeted us in the kitchen, necessitating a thorough wash before they could be used safely. The deck presented a significant safety hazard with nails protruding from its surface, a danger that should have been rectified long before our arrival.To exacerbate matters further, essential amenities were sorely lacking. Not only were there no tea towels provided for cleaning, but we also discovered a mere quarter roll of toilet paper for the entire weekend stay. Perhaps most concerning of all was the issue with the power points. Upon attempting to unplug a cord, we discovered that the power points would come away from the wall, a major safety hazard that could easily lead to serious injury. I cannot in good conscience recommend this property.
The holiday house was the perfect getaway! It offered a cozy and comfortable (sturdy) space with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The location was ideal, providing both tranquility and easy access to all the nearby attractions. The decor was charming, and the hosts were so friendly and accommodating. Overall, we had a great time and would stay there again.
Great locationâŠ.Within five minute walk to dog beach. Property has everything you need⊠bbq, fully equipped kitchen, big back yard. Would stay here again.
The property was cheerful and sunny with floor to ceiling north-facing windows on all rooms so we had lovely light for our stay, even when it was windy and cold outside. The agent and owner were very responsive, kind and helpful. We'll come back again for sure.
Small house, big yard, 3 mins walk to unpatrolled beach
Smaller house on a big block. Great location - 3 minute walk to (dog-friendly) beach, which you can walk along for kms. Back yard is great for backyard cricket, kicking a ball and dogs. Back yard flows into the front yard - no fence to keep dogs in the back. The boudnary fencing is high and secure. All rooms are upstairs apart from the laundry. The property can sleep 5 people, but the combined living/dining/kitchen area is quite small, which means the house would be best suited to 3, or at a stretch, 4 people. The house is clean and well presented, with a small, modern kitchen and older bathroom. Heating worked well on cooler nights - although you need to dig out extension cords for bedroom heaters. Quiet neighborhood. The property manager and owner were very responsive to a problem we had with the internet (which appeared to be an external fault). Good value get away.
It is located on a quiet street within walking distance of the beach and cafes. Our little dog loved the big backyard. In addition, the yard is very secure, so there is no need to worry about the dog getting out.
We loved Ocean Grove, this location is great for beach walking. You can walk to the dunes easily for morning coffee or breakfast. The secure garden was great for the dogs, although they didn't like the stairs so much.
House it self was great. Nice a close to the beach. A few little things like the missing milk frother for the coffee pod machine.
Property manager was difficult to get in touch with
Very nice house with a balcony and pet friendly. Just 5 minute walk to the dog-friendly beach. Struggled with the induction stove but eventually got the hang of it. TV and WiFi worked well. Only tip: please add some hooks to the bedrooms and bathroom to hang clothes and towels.
