Relaxing break
Spruce Goose is exactly as described - homely, welcoming and takes you back to childhood holidays by the beach. We would definitely stay again for the great location (15 mins walk to beach and Sorrento village) homely atmosphere and great value for money.

Great getaway
The property had everything we needed. The property is positioned within walking distance to the shops, front beach and Diamond bay beach. Anita was helpful and provided us with low tide details and recommendations for eateries and activities. Would definitely recommend this property and stay there again.

Cute little beach shack. Good location close to gorgeous back beach and not too far from the action in Sorrento (well not much action mid week July!) attentive hosts. Would go again.

Fantastic!
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage in Sorrento. It was very clean and tidy and the location was great - only 20mins walk to the town centre. It was a bit cold at night, but plenty of heating and this was on already so the place was warm when we arrived. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed, the bed was comfortable and the shower was good. I would highly recommended staying here!

Nostalgic
Came back yesterday after our second stay at the spruce goose. Just rebooked for 2 stays over the next few months. I love this place... it reminds me of beach holidays when I was a kid, it is not trying too hard to be flash and it makes me feel nostalgic and has everything necessary for a lovely traditional beach holiday :)

Well located holiday home
We found the property to be old but well located, and cosy in a quaint way. Very close to the town centre and beach. We could not ask more of the lovely hosts who were very helpful beyond our expectations; our check-in process was exceedingly simple, and our stay really pleasant and comfortable. As a group of adults, we found the bunk beds a little awkward. By way of suggestions: an upgrade of the lounge furniture would uplift the home, and air dispensers would enhance the ambience and ‘old’ smell - given the age of the property. Overall value for money, and we had a good time for sure !!!

Cosy shack in a great location
In some ways, a basic shack but with character - reminded me of a simpler life when I was younger. Had everything we needed and was warm (reverse cycle heating, electric blanket etc). Our dog was able to stay and, although the garden was not completely enclosed, the owner provided a stake to attach a lead to, thereby allowing the dog to roam but not too far. Close to National park lookouts/beach, shops/restaurants and front beach - 5 mins by car but we happily walked. Owner is delightful - very helpful and she kindly rescued us when we locked ourselves out! Not glamorous but met our needs and we'd gladly stay here again.

Comfy and unpretentious
We enjoyed our stay. The property is exactly as described- retro and unpretentious. Given that most of Sorrento is like a little Brighton, this retro cottage is refreshingly simple and reminds me of how Sorrento used to be before Chadstone moved in 🤣 (what a terrible loss of a quaint seaside village, so glad Port Fairy and Queenscliffe have resisted this kind of tacky development.) The cottage has comfy beds, good heating and a good shower and everything you need. It's easy to relax in with kids and dogs. Anita is a wonderful, generous host.

7th Birthday Surprise Weekend
The property was as advertised...a secluded, old style cottage that was well presented, comfy, clean and came with all linen and toiletries which was great. The best thing about the stay though was Anita. Simply fabulous communication and she left us the best surprise with balloons, decorations, cupcakes and pressies for our 7yo's birthday weekend. She was lovely and very helpful with anything we needed over our stay. Thank you once again!

We loved the location. You can actually walk to the front and back beaches. Walking distance to all the shops. The property is old but great, quiet spot. Everything is in the house that you have at home.
