The spacious, well designed house was very comfortable for 6 adults and two children. The four ensuite bathrooms added to the experience. Very nice, quiet area of Portarlington with a playground a short stroll away. Our family of three generations are keen to return again soon to The Panorama.

Kitchen was lacking. No champagne glasses, no cling wrap or foil, no coffee machine.Asked host about availability of coffee machine prior to going, heard nothing.No bath plug, couldn't bath children. Asked host for plug via text message, heard nothing. Wifi info not readily available had to request it.Outside area needed cleaning and some minimal maintenance. House well laid out, great for adults and small children. Bedrooms with own bathrooms good.
