Great location but needs cleaning
The property is in a great location on the main strip in Barwon Heads. It is close enough to walk to the beach and the local shops. The property was neat but absolutely needs more cleaning, it was extremely dusty with spider webs everywhere... with little kids who like to play on the floor this was a huge problem and sparked up allergies. There is a vacuum on the premises but that looked like it had never been cleaned out. The washing machine filter was also completely disgusting and my clothes came out dirtier than when they went in. The host was great and allowed an early check in

Perfect location for our weekend, walking distance to shops ( in the Main Street above Strumpet) restaurants and beaches. Appreciated the option for early check-in and late check-out. Kathleen is a great host and very responsive to any questions etc.

Epic spot, right in the heart of village.
Very easy to communicate with Katherine, all as advertised, right in the middle of a lovely little lovely street, with a great breaky joint across road, and short walk to beach. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
