2nd stay at this property. Location, facilities are excellent.

Small, but perfectly formed, Tarwin Retreat is centrally located at the far end of nowhere. It's close to other similarly isolated spots and has ready access to all the stuff you need if you'd prefer to not engage with much apart from an excellent pub, a well stocked supermarket and fuel that is not extortionate. Don't ask me about the fish, because despite sacrificing numerous pippies, I didn't get to meet one.The yard is suitable for dogs who are not practiced escape artists. The house is very clean, but not intimidating so. Take a bannister brush to knock the sand off doggy feet before they come inside as it's impossible to avoid it.There is a lovely 6km walk along an easy track to Venus Bay which is off road once you get out of the township. Great for active seniors, both human and canine.Highly recommended.

Good location, suitable house. Some issues impacted our fullest enjoyment. We had three adults but there were only sheets for two beds. Kettle lid did not open on arrival, on second day switch stopped working. Rubber gloves (yellow) had holes in the finger and were not waterproof. Other smallIssues that would have made our stay feel more welcoming include: bin liners for the small green waste bin, a set of smaller glass tumblers (we ran out of glasses).Potential safety issues that we think could be addressed include hand rail on front steps, and rotten boards/framing on deck as potential trip hazard and public liability issue for owner. The rubber rack holiding the fishing rods is perished and the wind blew the rods off the deck. This is a possible concern if you don’t want geusts to get a fright with the smashing AND ensure the fishing remain y damaged. We thought it was great to be able to have access to a house in Tarwin and would be willing to return if these issues could be worked on. Thanks again for clear and timely communication and a fabulously smooth check in/check out process. Sandy
