Easy and Breezy
Wonderful location with beautiful views. Enjoyed exploring the Otways and relaxing at Ackton Shores. Yard was secure and perfect for our dog, and house was well appointed for our needs. No WIFI was a welcome change, and the one airconditioner upstairs funtioned well. Perhaps a ceiling fan in the downstairs bedrooms would have been nice during the unusual heatwave. 9/10

Recent trip
We recently stayed at the Ackton Shores property and couldn't fault our stay. The house was clean and spacious for the four of us and only a short walk to the beach and shops. I would definitely stay here again. The views from the balcony are also very nice.
