Not one mattress was comfortable and even the kids asked to sleep on the couch. The location was good and we fell in love with Barwon Heads. We will definitely be back but not to Veuve cottage. ##### Wendy M. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul H.

Kristiana was very helpful and is keen to ensure that all goes well with your stay at Veuve Cottage. It is close to parks and children play grounds and easy walk to central Barwon Heads shops and cafes. We enjoy our stay at Veuve Cottage and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay at Barwon Heads. Paul and Heather ##### Paul H. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Vanessa B. Jun 24, 2017 #### Great Dog Friendly accommodation This property is ideal for those who want a getaway with pets. It has a good backyard that is fully enclosed but I would take a bike lock or similar as the rear gate latch is a nail with piece of string. A boisterous dog may push its way thru. The front gate could also use an additional lock as well. The interior is great with ample space for all and you feel very much at home. Heating within the premises is good however the fire box is old and not as efficient as it could be. There was an abundance of wood. Having said that there are two split systems that warm the house sufficiently. We recommend this accommodation to pet owners!! ##### Vanessa B. ### 8/10 Good #### Ash V. Jan 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for families Great space for families with a beautiful front lounge room, a great kid-friendly rear living area, many beds and two great private and enclosed spaces in the front and back yard, one with a nice firepit. Both yard spaces safe for young kids as they can be closed off with gates. The Veuve in the kitchen is a sight to behold! We had some minor cleanliness issues that I think may just have been missed and will be fixed for the next guests. We also found that the high chair in the listing wasn't there, but on enquiring Marisa had one delivered to us in under an hour on Christmas Eve no less! Amazing service. A note that we didn't quite find the room configuration as we expected, but we may have misread the listing. For clarity, there are two queen beds, two pairs of single bunk beds, a single bed and a fold out couch. Overall a great place for our two young families, would stay again. ##### Ash V.

Other than that we had a lovely time. ##### Kate A. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2021
