Unresolved smell in master bedroom
Putrid smell in master bedroom persists, since exiting the property we have identified that previous reviews indicate that this has been a problem since 2020. Our group decided to book alternative accommodation after the first night as the smell in the master bedroom was overwhelming. We did attempt to air out the master bedroom using a pedestal fan, however the problem persisted. Attempts to negotiate an appropriate rental return with Regional Escapes have to date been unsuccessful. This property should be avoided until such time as the smell in the master bedroom has been addressed. Very disappointed.

Great location. Cruisy and laid back. Great vibe.
Only downside, it lacked quite a few kitchen items and utensils… no chopping board, grater, tin opener, peeler, spatula. No washing powder. Rangehood did not work at all. Also, not that it mattered to us but no digital TV channels, no internet, and we could not get DVD player to work.

Christmas at Ocean Grove
We used this stay to join in with extended family collecting at Ocean Grove for Christmas. It’s in a great spot. While right on Wallington, there’s a back exit onto Whitten. Only has the bare basics in the cupboards if you’re cooking, but a great cafe just a few doors along. Loved the fenced yard, and 3 big bedrooms, plenty of space for the family to relax. Suited us just fine and we’ll probably book in again.

Comfortable family holiday house
Overall, we were happy with the quality and location of this property. However, due to miscommunication with the cleaners, the property had not been cleaned when we first arrived, delaying our check-in by about an hour. Fortunately, the friendly management team promptly organised for it to be cleaned while we were out. They also arranged for a new toaster to be delivered when we reported that it wasn't working. Beds were very comfy and the house felt sufficiently spacious for 4 adults and our 3 young children. It was also great having easy access to the quiet side street leading down to the river and walking track.

Great location and amenities
Great family house, huge fenced yard which is great for kids. Only catch was the smell in the master bedroom. Hopefully they can tackle that. Amazing time regardless.
