We had a lovely stay for christmas as a family. The host was very welcoming, everything had been thought of and nothing extra we needed! House was clean and a short walk to the beach, we'll definitely be back!
Our family had an excellent weekend at the place as we celebrated a milestone birthday at the place. The bedrooms, kitchen & family areas are well positioned and maintained. Our dog loved the generous backyard.Certainly ticked all the boxes for us.
We had a lovely stay. Great house with lots of room and super close to Whites Beach. We had our dog with us so it was easy to walk down with our 3 year old and Boston Terrier and spend a few days at the beach.
Great stay at this place to celebrate Christmas with our family. Well located near beach, a lot of thought has been given to supplying a huge range of “goodies” and cooking facilities. Highly recommended.
Great holiday house, plenty of everything and catered to all family needs including our pets. Very close to the beach. Will definitely come back again. Wonderful host (Kellie) and always quick to respond and open to requests. Thanks Kellie, we loved every minute.
Loved the stay in Torquay, house was great - very clean and comfortable. Table tennis table was excellent for teens. The table on the deck was great for sharing BBQ dinners
We enjoyed a great family beach holiday at this house. Kellie, our host, made every effort to ensure our stay was comfortable and we had all that we needed. The house works well for a family such as ours (ourselves, our boys and their families). Thanks, Kellie, for another great stay.
This was our third stay at this house. We find it ideal for our family which includes 6 children who have their own area downstairs - works so well for them and the adults. Beach is only a short walk away which is great. Kellie is a very accommodating host, easy to contact and made sure we had everything we needed.
We were amazed at how well equipped the house. Coffee machine, high chair, clean doggy bed, stair gaurd for infants, board games galore, roomy beds, outside shower, etc were some of the additional nice touches. So easy to access and an easy walk to town
Property was fantastic with everything we could need.
3 families came together for the weekend and everyone had a ball. Location was spot on. Easy walk to the beach and playground.House was fully equipped.
Kellie was fantastic and so easy to reach.
The house is well equipped with everything you would need to have a comfortable stay.
The attention to detail is amazing.
We were 10 people (six adults, 3 children and 1 toddler) and we found everything we needed. E.G. all cooking implements, a wonderful table on the balcony that sits 10 people, a porta cot, a stair gate that installs very easily, games and toys including a ping pong table, beach chairs and paddle boards, etc.
The house is also close to one of the beaches of Torquay.
Kellie was a fantastic host, responding very quickly to any of our questions.
Excellent location for our family and border collie dog. Our children all in their twenties but would certainly suit a young family, plenty of toys and beach stuff
Enjoyed our stay very much. Good location. Roomy house ideal for family. The children loved having their own space and all that was provided for them. Kellie was a very good host, easily contactable and dealt with a couple of little issues which arose during our stay promptly.
My family and friends enjoyed our stay at this Torquay getaway. In such short notice, we were served with great hospitality and service. We only booked it for two nights and that’s not enough time to explore all of Torquay beach. I definitely recommend booking this place, you won’t be disappointed!
We had had a wonderful stay here. So close to the beautiful beach, leash free all year round for dogs. We loved the fireplace and bright upstairs living area. It had everything you need for a great holiday. Only drawback was being right on a noisy road, but once doors and windows were closed it was fine. Great communication from the host.
