Location to the water and town.

There's really nothing to dislike about this place except having to leave when my stay was up.

I chose this cottage mainly because it is pet friendly. It has everything to make ones stay pleasant. Everything is provided, so you really don't need to bring much except for personal belongings. It even has an espresso coffee machine with pods to enjoy your coffee outdoors in the peaceful garden. It's only a walk away to the beach and all shops are also in the vicinity. From here, you can go to other nearby towns such as Queenscliff. I loved seeing some of the historic wall hanging and old cabinets from that era. Such a beautiful feeling of serenity.

A simple, clean cottage, close to beach and town centre.

Had a problem opening the front door, so used the back door.

Everything was great.

The windows were a bit stiff to open. We had quite a few ants in the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and utensils but perhaps a microwave dish and a colander would be helpful.

We were two related couples staying in this cute, cosy cottage which was clean, warm and comfortable and met our needs very well. Heating and cooling was fantastic. We really appreciated what was provided for us like plenty of toilet paper, soaps, dishwashing tablets and garbage bags plus the basic cooking supplies like oil and salt and pepper. Communication with the host was easy to do and replies were punctual. The location was fantastic being a short walk to the water and into town. We would be happy to stay here again.

Great cottage, well appointed, a short walk to town or the ferry and a local bus stop minutes away. Loved the open fire place and that we could bring our dogs.

A couple more things in kitchen, like a slotted spoon, some small bowls etc would be nice additions.

Heating, room for furry friends to roam, basic but good

Unfortunately we only discovered the beds had electric blankets when packing up on leaving. The beds themselves were very 'firm.' (Perhaps a nice, thick mattress topper would be a benefit (Kmart/Spotlight?)for future customers.)

We liked everything about this cosy little cottage. The host really did a lovely job making everything ideal for a weekend stay. The shower was really lovely and the kitchen well stocked with items. The coffee machine was a lovely touch as was the gorgeous open fire.

N. A.

This delightful cottage had the charm of a past era combined with all the modern comforts (eg excellent heating, dishwasher and washing machine, comfortable and spacious beds and a recliner lounge). It is in a quiet area of Portarlington and is an excellent base for visiting Queenscliff and local wineries. We really appreciated that the hosts accommodated a late change of dates due to illness and their communication and the ease of the key box entry were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I loved the comfort and coziness. Fantastic location, short stroll to the water and a 10 minute walk to the shops.

There were cobwebs inside most of the windowsills in the kitchen.. there were also a lot of cobwebs on the outside of the windows where the driveway was.. there was 1 roll of toilet paper per each day we were staying at the cottage.. normally this would be fine but we were entertaining on New Year's Eve and had to go buy extra rolls !!! The vaccum cleaner was broken.. making it had to clean up and had to use the broom ... Checkout was at 10am, the cleaner was at the front door at 9:50am eager to get in to clean..

Great size property and great location. Just a stroll to the beach and a short walk to the main strip of shops. Loved that it was pet friendly. Had all the amenities required for a short stay. Decent size rooms and good size backyard for entertaining. Had a nice stay and was comfortable. Thanks for having us

A few little things needed attention: - very dusty windows/spiderwebs -cleanliness inside fridge, shower heads/taps. Finger prints and crumbs detracted from the overall feel of cleanliness. - privacy at the front bedroom/room - due to building works across the road some sheer curtains or blinds would have been more comfortable.

Like a home away from home, all necessities, comfortable bed and couches, kitchen well set up.

Was exactly as described. Very comfortable stay, short walk to the water, boat ramp at the end of the street, and short walk to main street and park. Huge fenced yard so great if you have a dog.
