Mar 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Barwon Heads getaway Our stay was lovely, relaxing and located in a great spot. Close enough to beach and shops without being in the thick of the hustle and bustle of main strip activity. Very cute and comfortable house. The only suggestion I have is to be transparent about bed linen provisions in property listing. No one goes away for a long weekend expecting to have to supply own linen or be charged extra to have beds made. Host Marisa was great to communicate with and responsive to questions. Had a wonderful stay. ##### Toula S. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn B.
