Perfect little house

This house was perfect for our stay in Barwon Heads. Its location is great, right by the golf course and so easy to walk to the beach and shops. The house is well cared for and the hosts have thought of all details. Three good sized bedrooms up a few stairs and living / dining area down stairs. The hosts, put in a lot of effort and it shows, they are great to commmunicate with leading up to and during our stay. Highly recommend.

A lovely, charming house, with a usefully stocked pantry. We enjoyed a fantastic getaway- top beach access, shops close by and plenty of room. Foxtel sports was a bonus, and we made use of the outside BBQ area. Highly recommended.
