Fabulous location on the Moyne River and easy to walk out to town, cafes, etc. Comfy bed in main bedroom downstairs.
We didn't use the upstairs bedrooms -- luckily just 2 of us and everything downstairs was comfortable. Steep and tricky stairs up to the 2 bedrooms and bathroom upstairs.
Outside furniture needs replacement and the listed BBQ was not there.

We love the location on the river and proximity to Banks St
Hard to fault apart from the beds on the upper level being very uncomfortable. Particularly the single beds but all had very bad reviews from our family guests

Smaller than I expected,looks like it is overdue for a freshen up,timber floor in terrible condition and made the place feel tied,dinning room chairs are worn out as is the outside dinning setting.

Lovely location over the water.
Steep stairs to bedrooms on the upper level. If oldies or folks with bad knees had the upper bedrooms they would have had difficulties ….

location was excellent. we have booked to stay again in December, to hopefully make use of the outdoor area in warmer weather
it was a little untidy at the front and there were maggots in the rubbish bin as food had been disposed of and bin not put out for collection. i would have personally appreciated a full length mirror in the master bedroom but otherwise we all thought it was a great place to stay.

Great accommodation in a fantastic location. Even better than I thought it was going to be. A highlight of our week-long Ocean Road trip. We will be back.
Nothing - all good.

Great location. Good size perfect for families. Amazing views.
Took us one freezing cold night to work out the heating. Clearer instructions needed.

The proximity to the shops and restaurants, also on the river. The property was well stocked in the kitchen, access to tv channels a bonus.
all in all a very comfortable stay. would definitely stay there again.
The dining chairs are a little tired, and upstairs bathroom needs some remedial work where the shower seal has water damage to the skirting board.

The house is very spacious & well laid out & the kitchen is well equipped.The location is stunning, right on the river. Couldn't be better, close to shops & restaurants.
The remote for the garage roller door didn't work, there was a broken cupboard door in the kitchen that nearly knocked me out when I went to open it & the down stairs shower was a bit grubby around the grout at the base.

Location, decks, furnishings.
The floor in the front bedroom was wet when we arrived, I mopped it up. The staircase to upstairs is quite steep but not well lit and easy to miss the last step.

the view was spectacular
bikes were provided tyres were flat no pump so couldn’t ride bikes which was disappointing.
beds were very hard.
clear pipe to the upstairs toilet with green algae you could see was not very appealing

Great location, easy walking distance to the town and beach. Beautiful views from the back balcony over the Moyne River. Clean and comfortable, would definitely stay again!

Amazing location and very comfortable. Very well presented. Easy to stroll up to the Wharf Restaurant for dinner and around the town. We breakfasted at The Hub. The house has a great deck over the river and we would have loved to have a drink out on the deck, unfortunately the weather was cool and drizzly.
It was a beautiful place to stay. There is nothing I didn't like. The only thing that was missing was a tea towel and milk in the fridge, but that's probably an oversight.

Location was perfect for us

The location is fantastic, near to town and on the water, People had complained in previous reviews about things which really weren't justified in our view. The "rusty" bikes that someone moaned about were actually in great condition and free to use by guests, a bonus in our view. Yes the place has had lots of use and is a little worn in places but has character and is very comfortable and clean, sure the outdoor furniture could benefit from a power wash but was clean, plentiful and usable, all very good. We didn't see any problems with "tight access" and the beds were all comfortable and had quality bedding, again all good.
Nothing really, there were even lots of essentials in the fully equipped kitchen for guest use.

the townhouse was modern. clean and inviting. 1 master downstairs with the living and 2br upstairs were great. great BBQ and deck on the river.
the entrance was via a courtyard which was a little uninviting, lots of concrete and lots of bins and 2 old bikes

Location great
Bit disappointed with the lack of water pressure in showers
4.0
nothing much to say here, we are in Australia 2 weeks and this was quite possibly the worst stay.
I wanted advice on the property before arrival and both normal landline and emergency phone went straight to message minder. I never got a return call till 10:07am the next morning and the lady was least helpful.
The property pictures used online are years old and very deceiving. Only one of four of the beds had electric blankets. The property was freezing and a damp smell on arrival. The heaters didn’t work great, the windows are all mould. I wasn’t impressed at all, we are traveling around Sydney and have stayed in motels etc and this property has been the worst experience yet.
4.0
Both single beds, and the double bed were very uncomfortable. The single beds were on castors which skidded across the floor each time you rolled over in bed. Both lamps in top floor bedrooms were broken and 1 disgarded in the wardrobe. 1 blanket in single bedroom was scrunched up in wardrobe and dirty, a second (folded) blanket also had brown marks on it. The upstairs shower pressure was non-existent. All guests had to use the downstairs shower.

Excellent property in an amazing location, so good we didnt want to eat out as this is located right on the River with an outside deck. Bathrooms were amazing and had everything in a close location to main street and great walks.

Outdoor areas felt a little neglected.
