Girls weekend
House was well stocked easy access to all locations . Outdoor area is spacious and very comfortable. The only downside for us was the lounge seating was limited as it doesn’t comfortably seat 5. Minor in scheme of things we were out a lot during our stay. Thanks Raff beach house .

Cozy Holiday Home
Easy walk to everything, property is beautifully presented, felt like home away from home. Kids enjoyed playing in the garden and the beach so close is a huge win. We have added this to our “favourites” list of places to stay.

4 Night Family Stay at Raff’s with Young Children
We had a lovely 4 night stay at Raff’s over the January long weekend. The location was perfectly positioned for walking to the town centre and the river. The local amenities with impressive with lots of good food and coffee options. We also really enjoyed the local book store! The house was great and had all that we needed for our stay and provided adequate space for our family of six. Including 3 bathrooms! The backyard was lovely, peaceful, and perfect for the kids to runaround. We really approached the goodies on arrival and communication was great throughout.We’d love to return!

Lovely holiday cottage
This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed here. It’s a very cute cottage in an amazing location in beautiful Barwon Heads. The cottage is beautifully updated with modern bathrooms and kitchen. The hosts have kitted it out beautifully and we found we everything we needed to cook and BBQ. Gas heater is perfect for the cold evenings. Overall a wonderful place for the family.

Love this place
We are a family with young children and we loved our stay at Raff’s. The big back yard with grass was amazing for the kids to play round on and the deck was fabulous with couches, a big table and bbq. The house is beautifully styled, had all the things necessary to cook at home. The bedding and towels were high end and comfortable beds to sleep in. Best location close to the beach and shops, yet also tucked away in a quiet street. We will be coming back again.

Fantastic family getaway at Raff's
We had a wonderful stay at Raff's beach house. Despite the cold weather we were warm and cosy, and enjoyed the beautifully furnished home. Kim and Matt were great hosts who were so easy to communicate with and ensured we had everything we needed. We loved walking to the local cafes/shops and made trips to nearby wineries for long lunches. Our son enjoyed the huge back yard for games/sports, the back deck would be a wonderful spot in summertime. Would highly recommend. Thank you Kim and Matt!

Cosy Shack
We had an awesome time with our family! Great quality time with each other! Couldn’t have found a better place to chill ! The house was clean and big enough for our family of 6 adults! The location was excellent! Close enough to walk to the beach and cafes but nice to get away from the busy Main Street! We loved the backyard too! Communication with Kim was very quick and easy! Would definitely recommend!
