Jan 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem We were very happy with our Stayz property!! We loved the location and convenience of the location. It was comfortable for two families. We are definitely coming back to this property and will recommend it to our family and friends looking to stay at Philip Island. ##### Anita S. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa D. Mar 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hidden Gem What a breath of fresh air! The property was clean and tidy, spacious and inviting. It was everything we needed for a weekend away. Enough room for us to be able to relax with everything you need there, a home away from home. It had the cleaning things needed at hand and it had a first aid box and other goodies in drawers, so if you needed scissors, there were a pair, anything medical such as dettol, it was in the bathroom. Brilliant. There was plenty of information available on the kitchen table and plenty of room to be able to park your car, inside the fully gated property. Everything was thought of. Games and books are also available for your use, so we did a few puzzles as a family. Communication was perfect and any questions were answered. Check in and out were seemless too. Short drive to the back beaches such as Surf Beach or about a 9 min drive to Cowes. Thankyou for having us and we will be re-booking again, perfect for us to get away. ##### Melissa D.
