Sandy was so easy to communicate with. He was friendly and helpful and allowed us to check in early. The house was stunning and you could see the ocean from the balcony and the most amazing sunsets. The spa was amazing and the house was warm, well set out and very clean. Highly recommend this property.

We had a great stay at Simon’s. It catered for the whole family with kids and dogs. Great location directly opposite the beach, undercover bbq area and kids playground. Big fenced backyard for the dogs and play equipment to entertain the kids. There’s a studio detached from the house which was perfect for a guest with sensory sensitives when peace and quiet was needed. Highly recommended.

If you’re looking for a house to relax and unwind, this could be the one for you! The house was warm and homily, and delivered some amazing sunrises / sunset views, all whilst relaxing in the spacious upstairs lounge. The house was clean throughout, and large enough to accommodate our group of friends. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. Peggy is a great host, super responsive and even provided some complimentary wine to welcome us. Cheers to that!

Breambar Cottage

SamaraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Really enjoyed my stay here, close to Lake Connewarre, Barwon Heads and the Walk for Truth sections between Morreware and Geelong. Tony kindly lit the woodfire for me so the place was toasty when I arrived, and he was very responsive about firewood and when the gas ran out it was quickly dealt with. I got to see the sunrise each morning without having to get out of bed! Everything I needed in the kitchen so I could prepare my own meals. A peaceful and relaxing stay, thank you!

This unit has everything you need, is in walking distance to Portsea and is dog friendly. We found David very responsive and flexible, allowing a later check out. The unit was exceptionally clean which we really appreciated and whilst the kitchen is small, is well equipped to prepare meals. Very relaxed stay and fully fenced for the dog, we would highly recommend the place.

Wonderful place to stay. Immaculately clean, well decorated and stocked with everything you need. It’s a decent sized beach house on a big pocket of land, plenty of room for the kids. Karen was an amazing host, proactively providing all the information we needed and checked in after our stay to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Can’t recommend both the place and Karen enough.

Ocean Grove Beach Oasis -Sleeps 16- inground pool

TrentRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Frank was a great host & left simple checkin instructions. The house was as described & was excellent for a large group (16), with good indoor & outdoor entertainment areas. Slightly inconvenient having to provide your own linen given we were a large group - but this was outlined in the listing & Frank's reminder message. Would definitely stay again.
