Excellent location, but needs work
The location was perfect for what we wanted, but there was a lack of basic amenities, and the house needs some maintenance. It rained every day while we were there, but there was no clothes dryer, and the clothesline outside wasn't sheltered enough to dry things. Locks on front and back doors were falling apart, and some of the downlights needed replacing.

Pleasant cottage
Shame the gas heater wasn't working. A bit annoying with the trucks down the lane.

Ran out of toilet paper. Would have liked to have the gas fire going in the cold blast that came through. No electric blankets and no power point for the heater in the blue bedroom. House was beautifully decorated with plenty of utensils etc.

Good position
Good position for cafes and walk to beach , the house didn’t seem to be prepared for our arrival, grass in backyard was very long. House probably suits 4 people as there were only 4 lounges seats , anyone else had up to sit at the kitchen table .There was no wifi or bbq as advertised . But overall a pleasant stay . Lovely town and great restaurants.

Perfect Position
We loved our stay at Ginabella. The three rooms with large beds were perfect for my two sisters and myself. My dog had lovely out door space as well. The position in the centre of town couldn’t have been more perfect as we walked everywhere to shops, cafes and the river and island. There was a washing machine which wasn’t in the brochure so that was a pleasant surprise for a weeks stay. BUT….. The TV was adequate but a DVD player would have allowed us to watch a movie or two as it wasn’t a smart TV. There was no dishwasher as advertised on the brochure but that was ok. The lack of WiFi in this day and age was really frustrating, as to sit in cafes or the library to catch up on messages is a time waster.

Fantastic location
Two adults stayed here with two dogs. Cute cottage and you could walk to everything as the shops/restaurants all within a few minutes walk. The cottage itself was clean but it was small and no option to unpack as cupboards were padlocked. There was an umbrella stand outside but it appeared that it, and the BBQ were locked inside a shed. The yard was small so really good if you have small dogs but I have a GSD so not much room to throw a ball around. Having said that, he was fine and it is secure which is really important to me. The outdoor furniture was quite aged and a lovely nectarine tree in the yard but was full of spoiling fruit on the ground so perhaps a bit more care from the cleaner re outside as well as inside in between stays. As others have mentioned the delivery trucks are quite frequent along the adjacent lane way but we were up before they arrived so not really a bother but it is constant. Overall, we were out exploring most of the day so these are small things but an upgrade to outside furniture would be great as it wasn’t comfortable to sit outside for very long. The beds were really comfy and we enjoyed our stay and the ability to support local restaurants, cafes etc who are still clearly struggling after being locked down for so long.
