    The place was more than we expected, very good amenities, clean, quiet place, close to beach & shops, everything you needed was provided, spacious comfortable house, lots of thoughts went into keeping anyone entertained with lots of DVD'S, magazines, toys for kids, and outside the backyard is a great spot for kids to play safely. We loved the verandah to sit and relax, all in all 10 out of 10

    My daughter's family stayed here- and we had our family Christmas lunch on the deck. The gardens (and whole property) are a credit to Will. The grandchildren had so much space to find a place to be together or some quiet time for themselves. The doggies loved the garden as well!

    It felt like we were intruding into a family's home - a home that was lived in by the family but had gone away during time we were there? Amenities were fair. No breakfast items. Backyard was a good size. Ideal for dogs. (We did not take our dog).

    We arrived on Friday 1st August, with our 3 dogs. We had been advised by the owner that we would need to make sure the gate was properly shut to stop our dogs from escaping. When we did our initial rounds of the garden, we noticed the loose gate and moved 2 of the wheelie bins to stop it opening. We then let our dogs run in the garden. However, we were not advised or noticed that there was a secondary gate at the other side of the property which had been left wide open . 2 of our dogs escaped onto the road and my wife in her effort to chase after them fell down the hole that has been left where a drain pipe is being replaced. She grazed her hand and bruised her knee's. This is clearly a safety hazzard and should have been fenced off. We also discovered an amount of dog poop in the garden from a previous tenant.Inside was dusty. Incredibly the DVD was not connected to the TV because it lacked a HDMI socket. Given the amazing number of DVDS that have been stored at the property we weren't able to watch a single one, which was very disappointing.

    We had a fantastic stay here and already plan to return. The convenient location within walking distance of everything we needed in Portarlington was brilliant, but when not out and about we spent most of our time on the back deck watching the birds enjoy the expansive garden. Family and friends joined us for the weekends, and there was plenty of space for all of us. Thank you, Will and family, for sharing your lovely home.

    Our group stayed over Christmas and was exactly what we needed for a group getaway, we used the kitchen to cook our Christmas Day lunch and the town was quiet but close to the wineries, breweries and the adventure water park that we had planned for our trip. The only thing that we missed was having a smart tv, but we made do with the dvd collection and free to air cricket!

There is a minor damage you walk where animal may have entered We got around it with a can of glen 20 but it really needs a pest controller as house is closed for long periods I guess Toilet seat needed tightening but we did that

    We've had a great time and kids really enjoyed all the backyard entertainment including the trampoline and table tennis. Will and Gabe were very accommodating by letting us stay a bit longer on a rainy checkout morning, thank you again! Heated blankets were a welcome bonus. Overall clean, but rated down as bathtub needed a wash and kitchen floor wasn't sweeped. Would recommend and happily return. Cheers
