Overall a very good location for us - close to our resident family. Nice older suburb.House old and worn but that was expected. Cleaning utensils somewhat lacking - vacum cleaner and brooms old and ratty and not really suitable for purpose. Bathroom fine. Thanks for making our stay easy.
Itâs not the biggest property but itâs so comfy and clean and close to most things and not far to dr
I have been able to unwind here and not stress about anything, the few things that need doing are being done, the bedrooms and bedding are clean and have enough of them and the beds and soft but just right for me, I have my companion dog with me and she was able to get to me when she needed to go out plus she is so clean that she tells me where to do the pick upâs so to have the place clean for the next people. I would give this place 10 out of 10 very relaxing stay.
We really liked the location and local village that the property was situated in. Conveniently located â not far from CBD and water.
Plenty of space in the home.
We didnât appreciate the leaking washing machine tap (needing to empty buckets of water throughout the day) and didnât like to door locks (probably time to upgrade to deadlocks).
A little overpriced for quality of the property.
We loved the location close to the Geelong CBD and fantastic cafes/shops in the Street. The property was good and what we expected including being a great house for our toy poodle. What we didn't enjoy was the extremely loud music from a Venue at the top of the street. Even ear plugs didn't help and we ended up leaving a night early from the property.
Great location! Quick walk/drive to the beach, cafes, restaurants & shops. The street is a bustle of activity with the cafes & shops in the area but it quietens down at COB.Three spacious and comfie bedrooms/beds. Bathroom lovely. Kitchen amenities fine although we had to be vigilant with food due to ants. The aircon did not work well and I had to report it to property manager. Fortunately the weather was quite mild.The lounge only has a 2 seater couch and 2 seats which isn't ideal for a house that sleeps 6.
Not able to park outside permit only.
Came in two cars we came from Adelaide my son and two
teenage grandchildren can from Canberra. Parked in middle
parking on road.
Needed to move inssence burners and candles out side I tend to wheeze (allergy reaction), but put them back before we left.
Over all great place. Would recommend and stay again.
This is the second time I am submitting this !
The cottage was in a great area close to shops and cafes.The bathroom, laundry and kitchen were great. The floors could do with some sealing of holes, the outside of the house could do with some repair work and painting. the same with the outdoor decks. I'm not sure how legal or safe the deadlocks only on the external doors go, but they were annoying that you couldn't just close the doors.
Family of 4 plus grandparent really enjoyed our stay here. House was clean and tidy. Excellent location right next to two great cafes and town. Communication with host was really quick and resposive
