Phillip island Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good property for a short stayGood for car parking and boat parking Good home for pets with locked up yard facility.Hot water facilities need to be addressed though,as it runs out of hot water quite quickly. If 2 or 3 people have a shower during the morning the rest of the guest run out of hot water. This home is supposed to facilitate 8 guests. By the afternoon the water is slightly warm. Especially if you wash dishes during the day and run the washing machine as well. It appears to have a night timer on it where it heats up only over night. ##### A guest from Traralgon, VIC This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paula B.
