Beautiful home, brilliant get away!
Our extended family group of 11 had a wonderful four day stay at Blue Tide. Jon and Belinda were terrific to deal with and have a beautiful home. They have thought of everything you need for a fabulous stay. Very well appointed kitchen, spacious and comfortable living and dining areas, 4 queen bed rooms and a bunk room for the kids, 3 bathrooms. And so much in-house fun - pool table, loads of games, books, DVDs, X box, Wii and a wonderful outdoor area. Everyone loved the pool, the kids especially spent hours playing in there. The house is in close proximity to shops, supermarket and indoor aquatic centre. The beach is a short drive away. We loved our stay and would do it again in a heart beat. Highly recommend!

Wonderful few days spent at the house for family celebration
Thanks for a wonderful few days spent in ocean grove house to celebrate my parents anniversary. With 5 kids under 10 the house had sufficient room for everyone and enough space to be alone if you wanted to. The pool was amazing as it heated to 29 degrees so kids still swam when it wasn’t hot.

Wonderful space for families
This house was ideal for our family with a large rumpus room complete with toys, a cubby house and a heated pool. There were 2 other spaces where the parents and grandparents could escape when needed! The supermarket and shops across the road were so convenient. The house was lovely and clean and the hosts lovely to deal with

Easter Getaway
Thank you for allowing myself and my family to stay at your property for our annual Easter family getaway. The set up was just what we needed and the kids loved the pool, toys and house in general. happy kids, happy adults. Thanks again, would highly recommend this property to anyone but especially people with children.

Perfect for extended family
We stayed here for the mother in laws 70th birthday weekend. We had 8 adults and 4 kids, 2 of which were teenagers and the other 2 preschoolers.
The house suited us all perfectly. There was lots of space for each of us, so you could escape the noise if you wanted to.
The games room was enjoyed by all and we even got a quick swim in the pool until it turned into the coldest and wettest March weekend in years. But we were even more grateful for the space and facilities then.

Absolutely loved it

Perfect for our large family group of 13. Not all could stay for each day so the house was ideal.
Enough space to have time to ourselves, and perfect for grandchildren 11,12,16 pool table and pool 6 and 7 year olds. The cousins had a time together that will give them wonderful memories to share as they get older.
One such will be catching some sizeable fish from the Barwon Heads Bridge that were able to be eaten for breakfast the next morning....what excitement and pride that created.
We hadn’t all been together in the one place for seven years so it was really special as our three sons and their families caught up.
We had a small hiccup with a glass door,
(Apologies again Jon and Belinda ) that was dealt with fairly. Thankyou.
Proximity to the supermarket complex across the street with chemist, takeaways and bottle shop and bakery was so handy. In short we loved our stay.
Many thanks
Maree and Greg and families.

Great place, hosts are so lovely- everything was taken care of. We loved it!
We were so happy at Blue Tide. The house has a great layout - great communal spaces as well as some private spaces if you need to get away :). The heated pool was obviously the biggest winner for us - the kids absolutely loved it. Coming in second was the fab games room complete with billiard table; which was perfect as we had five kids with us and if they weren’t in the pool - they were in the games room! The bedrooms are roomy and the hosts were super friendly and helpful. It’s not super close to the beach - but it is practically across the road from the shopping centre - complete with supermarket, KFC and takeaway food options. Highly recommend a holiday here :)
