Queenscliff Easter getaway

Lovely townhouse. Nice neighbourhood. Secure backyard for dog. House was clean however cleaners must pay more attention to removing spiderwebs and cobwebs from inside walls. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Beautiful family home.

Beautiful new build situated between Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale. Great outdoor entertaining area although it was a little chilly during our stay to enjoy it (the undercover bbq was put to use though). Great gas fireplace to add to the atmosphere and warmth of a winter getaway. Large master bed with modern en-suite. Great stay - only negative was a large amount of ants that look like they’d been sprayed but not cleaned up in t he kids entertaining area. Otherwise immaculate house.

Well presented and clean.

The whole process of checking in along with the presentation and facilities in the house we stayed was terrific. We only stayed for the weekend however it made our weekend more enjoyable knowing we had a nice place to come back to after our days out.

Wouldn't stay again

This townhouse is in a great location to the beach, but when we arrived we found it to be very untidy outdoor BBQ area was a mess,sink was dirty had food left in it and dish rack was absolutely disgusting ,microwave had not been cleaned,hair in with drinking glasses,dishwasher was broken,no dish washing detergent ,fridge needed cleaning before l could put my food in it, the dirt under the couch looked like it hadn't been vacuumed for long time. When l called management they asked me if was happy to clean it myself ARE YOU KIDDING ME !! I came here to have a holiday not to spend time doing house work .When you order linen before you arrive ( which costs extra) for beds you have to make all beds yourself I have never been to any other rental property or motel where you had to make your own bed !!
