Before we arrived our host had sent through all of our arrival details with photos so we knew what to expect. On arrival we walked in to a clean and spacious house, with ceiling fans keeping the place cool, some chocolate biscuits to the delight of the children and a bottle of wine for the adults. All the basic kitchen supplies and condiments were also provided if needed. Beds were all comfy and there were extra pillows and blankets provided, not that we needed them with the summer weather. The house is in a nice quiet area, and made a great base for traveling into Geelong for shopping and for also exploring the coastal towns in the area. We all had a fantastic time and enjoyed our stay immensely. Thanks to our hosts who also ensured we had perfect weather for our stay too! ##### Melissa P.

It was spacious, comfortable furniture, loved the master bedroom bed, had a great variety of cookware and plenty of storage. Hosts were very obliging and met all our needs..and the thoughtful packet of Tim tams and bottle of wine was a bonus. ##### Roslyn N. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan G.
