33 Newell Avenue Middleton
Overall stay was pleasant, although tidy the house was NOT clean. For example floors were not vaccumed, mopped & we found hair balls in the bathroom on arrival. Maintenance and repair items previously listed by tenants were outstanding. Overall we felt the house should be presented without these issues, we will not recommend this property.

We are mortified to read this review and we offer our sincere apology. Unfortunately we rely on others to report any maintenance or cleaning issues as we live in Adelaide. I only just found out that the cleaner’s vacuum cleaner broke down and had not finished the job. She returned later but could not get you or your guests to hear her knocking or calling out. She never contacted us to let us know of the situation or I would have rung you to arrange for the cleaner to go back. I rang you today Nicole to explain, offer our apology and refund the cleaning fee. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the house and the views. Thank you for your understanding and kind words over the phone. Regards. Nicki

Fabulous location
Spacious house with an amazing view out to the ocean. You can hear the ocean all day and night. We had a lovely stay. Comfortable sofas, comfortable beds, plenty of clothes hanging and drawer space, large kitchen with numerous pots, pans, utensils, cutlery, cups, glasses, kids plastic plates and cups. Such a wonderful location that was very peaceful and relaxing. Just a short 5 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute drive to Middleton and only about a 10 min drive to Goolwa for larger supermarkets, extra cafes, large playground and train tickets for cockle train. Would happily stay again!!

Magnificent
The view to the beach over the sand dunes is absolutely stunning and we had a kangaroo with joey in pouch greet us every morning and afternoon through the main living room windows. Cannot fault the location, which is great for long peaceful walks along the cost and access to the surf. The privacy of the site made for a very enjoyable stay. We highly recommend.

Great Location!
Location is unbeatable if you are going to be skiing at Mammoth. Walk to lodge! :) There were only two things that were disappointing: I had inquired about the Jacuzzi to see if it was working and the response back was “I don’t know”. Apparently they have not had the Jacuzzi working for quite a while so I don’t know why I couldn’t have been told that. Since you are told to bring spa towels I brought them for nothing. Bummer! No bath either. Also, no coffee.

Lovely house but lacking anything special
Limited toilet paper, only 2 DVD's. No internet (in this day and age very poor although it was stated in the blurb. Ants in kitchen. Old TV's with no USB points, Mosquitos, Limited rubbish bags. Outside bin already full. Very expensive considering all of the above.

So sorry that you did not have a good experience. All our reviews are 4 and 5 stars and our guests enjoy the ocean front views. Unfortunately we can’t pre-empt nature with the ants and mosquitos. Ant rid and fly spray is always supplied. We do have the NBN connected now and wi-fi is available for our guests. There was a roll of rubbish bags in the drawer and we have spoken to our cleaners about providing extra toilet rolls and ensuring the bins are emptied. The upstairs tv does have USB ports.

Wonderful ocean views in a quiet, private location.
A lovely upstairs with great ocean views and very comfortable living area. The downstairs didn’t have the same quality of the upstairs. Couldn’t keep some of the windows downstairs open as the screens didn’t stay on. The downstairs, more than the upstairs, needed cleaning.

Thank you for staying at our beach house. The ocean views from the upstairs are always appreciated. A spring clean has now been done and the downstairs bedrooms have single beds which are designed for children. Unfortunately being on the oceanfront does have a down side with maintenance issues. We have not had a report about the screens before but they have been fixed now. Regards, Nicki and Steven

Thank you Katrina. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and we were able to resolve the linen issue. You can’t help but relax with the sounds and fabulous view of the ocean. The air conditioner heats the downstairs bedrooms and lounge automatically when the upstairs is on. Unfortunately some guests don’t clean as well as you would expect and items are put back this way, not thinking about the tenants coming after them. We would welcome you back anytime and hope you stay again soon. Nicki and Steven

Lovely holiday house. Beautiful views.
Well set up holiday house with everything you need for a big group. A bit disappointed that both the oven and BBQ were very dirty and in need of attention. A house number visible on the street would make finding it easier.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 June 2022
Thanks Patricia. We’re glad you appreciated our set up. We hope you loved the ocean views too, where you can’t help but relax. I have spoken to the cleaner and the oven has now been cleaned. We saw photos of the BBQ before your arrival and it did look clean, although it is getting on in age and is a bit discoloured. Please bear in mind it is on the seafront outside and does get weathered. Tenants are asked to clean it after use, ready for the next group. We take on your suggestion of a number visible on the street.

Great location but needs some tlc
Needs to be cleaner, dirty dishes left in downstairs bedroom drawers. Ants are a problem in the kitchen. Windows dirty which spoils the view.
Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 7 June 2022
Sorry to hear that some things weren’t as you expected. We have had great reviews and have rarely had negative feedback, so we are disappointed on your behalf. We will address these issues with our cleaner. Being on the beachfront, depending on the weather conditions, salt spray can dirty the windows quite quickly after cleaning. Unfortunately dirty dishes left in a bedroom drawer would not be something that would be checked by them and we have never been made aware of any ant issues. We will check this too and see what can be done.

Perfect house and location
We had family visiting from the UK and wanted to give them an unique experience without being too far from Adelaide and also close to my parents at Goolwa. The house was perfect for this, also close to the beach for walks and not too far from shops for food etc. The house has everything that is required to cook and prepare and is well fitted out with all that is required when you are away from home. An highly recommend this house for anyone to stay at if you’re looking for a quiet area.

A Week at the Beach
This beach house at Middleton was ideal for a family holiday. We especially loved the view, overlooking the sea and watching and hearing with the sounds of the waves rolling in. It was great to have the view over the bush and dunes in a quiet location. The beach was walking distance and ideal for safe swimming and riding some waves. The house was comfortable and appreciated the basic supplies left by the owners. The children loved the spa and we were able to bath three children at once! All in all, much enjoyed by all.
