We are enjoyed our stay at this property. House was very clean and kitchen well stocked. It's only a short walk to the beach, and we were able to bring our dog which is always a bonus. Probably only negative is that it could do with a new couch!

We enjoyed our stay, which comprised of hot and cool days. There was plenty to do. Our stay and booking was smooth and the communication with Jana good. The lack of a second bathroom proved challenging at times but we knew this would be the case. The only downer for us was the dirty beach water due to the Murray flooding but that's nature.

We had 2 families of 4 staying as well as my dog. Great fully enclosed yard for kids and pets. Very handy doors/gates at top and bottom of stairs. The outside shower very handy to get sand off of everyone before going inside. Jana very responsive and super easy to get in touch with, we will stay again.

This house was used for a group of young men 18 year olds for the end of the school year . Property was lovely , area was lovely and the neighbours were lovely . The boys were able to walk to Victor Harbour and McCracken and it also had a lovely outdoor back yard . Property owner always responded to my questions quickly . Definitely recommend this place .

Great place to stay. There was a bit of a mix up with the cleaner as we had an early check in but house hadn’t been cleaned. Was sorted very promptly.

In a nutshell, excellent location, lovely neighborhood, easy access to the beach

This property was lovely. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. The space was big enough for two families to stay, however, there is only one bathroom (two toilets though). This wasn't a big problem for us.
We would stay here again if in the area.

We love to return to Rocks Retreat. We visited a number of times and we always enjoy our stay. It's just like home away from home. We love the walks along the beach, Encounter bike track, Pt Elliott bakery. It's a really lovely area to stay in.

Disappointed with cleanliness
We were disappointed to find the property had not been cleaned. This was communicated to the owner who apologised and offered a $50 refund or to have the cleaner come back, we opted for the refund as we did not want to be inconvenienced any further.

Nice beach house close to everything
We stayed at this nice beach house sharing with another family and kids, although the room upstairs with the double bed is a bit on the smaller side so might not suit a couple that likes a larger bed and a bit more space.
We loved the toddler gates on both end of the stairs, the two dining tables, the Netflix or foxtel options, the double sized fridge, coffee machine and room fans!
Jana was very responsive, helpful and friendly and we would definitely book to stay here again !

The location of the property and the layout of the house were very good. The downstairs bathroom door lock didn't work. The fridge and dishwasher weren't working but the owner supplied a new fridge next day, which was terrific. We loved all the toys supplied. Didn't use the bikes etc. The property was not as clean and tidy as one would expect. The owner was very responsive and professional. thank you.

Great property suited us to a tee. Plenty of bedding options and plenty of room. The play equipment in the back yard was a big hit with the younger kids and was a surprise as it’s not mentioned in the listing. I’m sure my family will stay again when in the state

Great location and rental size. Easy walking distance to the beach. Good size living area and bedrooms and the 2 dining tables very handy. Great size backyard and the kids enjoyed the play equipment.Unfortunately cleanliness was an issue. We were alerted to the fact on arrival that the cleaners hadn’t had time to clean walls from previous guests which didn’t bother us and were grateful for the open communication. We were quite horrified though that the kids bunk bed room smelt strongly like BO and on closer inspection 2 of the beds linen and quilt covers were not clean and had a very strong odour of sweat and alcohol. Washing and making beds is not usually what you expect or want to have to do at the start of holidays. Also a lot of the plates in the cupboards were dirty and a couple had dried food on them. Other considerations for a family staying was that the bedrooms are all very bright without curtains which makes it hard for naps with young children/babies.

Overall, enjoyable trip and good location, however was not as clean as expected.

Overall the property was in a great location. The set up is fantastic with three bedrooms downstairs and one upstairs. All is available in the house - cutlery, linen, toys for the kids, BBQ. Probably the biggest factor that would put off coming back is the beds - all are very soft and not comfortable, especially the upstairs double bed might be alright for one person but with two they roll into each other which isn't ideal. Apart from this Jana was super helpful and accomodating with both the booking process and during our stay.

Nice Property for Stay with Kids
The property had all the facilities that was promised in the ad. Great location, good facilities (including a fenced backyard for an outdoor dog), designed to accommodate kids, outdoor shower facilities (excellent to use after visiting the beach). It's closer to nature and beach but yet safe and surrounded with other properties.
The property manager Jana kept in regular contact with us and everything was at ease. You will enjoy your stay here.
