very comfortable facilities and just far enough from the center of town to be quiet and within walking distant from facilities
the main bed was a little hard for my comfort, but i was still able to get plenty of sleep

Well I do not think the pictures on the website do this place justice. Totally amazing! Beautifully furnished and very clean and a nice bottle of welcoming local wine to boot. 10 minute walk to the restaurant zone and in an old cottage with not one but two fireplaces. Beautiful and we all loved it so much. Thanks for the experience!
It was perfect! Nothing bad.

Having stayed before we navigated the check in pad, and locking / unlocking on popping in and out very easily. We loved the range of outdoor and undercover seating areas. We also chose to travel the 60 minutes to our appointments due to the convenience of having our pet stay with us so comfortably. Linens and extra comforts very welcomed. Staple pantry items really appreciated. The complimentary wine is a very personal and lovely touch. The appliances are super modern but no need to QR code and watch the video instructions having used them before. We were so thankful for the extra hour to check-in conducive to convening an extra business meeting on a very time compressed visit. Great reading lights at the bedsides assisted us to relax and wind down.
Given the quick turn around for the cleaners the opened milk in the fridge was totally understandable (and pre-COVID not worthy of a mention) and having stayed before we knew what to expect from the standard pantry items. Nothing we didnt like really at all.

We live in a home built in 1900. It reminded us of our home and the interior and modernised kitchen and bathroom were excellent. The cooking utensils, cutlery, crockery, cleaning supplies etc were all of a very high standard and made us feel very much at home.
The parking was only suitable for a small to medium vehicle. It was very hot when we there and no shade available for our car.

This was definitely the best house I have experienced in the years I have been using Airbnb type accommodation. The location and the house itself were exceptional with a quiet yet handy location. The appliances in the house worked without exception including the dishwasher and washing machine. Definitely the most comfortable house I have ever rented and equal to my own home. One minor omission in the owner's handbook - an excellent Laotian cafe in Goolwa - The Garden of Nang - home-made, street food style menu. Is BYO.
No improvements needed

Excellent location. Very well presented. Comfortable beds. Everything worked.
Unfortunately the cleaning staff arrived early before 10.00am as we were trying to leave. They were very rude towards us, brought all their cleaing stuff into the cottage which made it difficult for us to leave smoothly.

The cottage was beautifully presented and everything you could want or need was provided. It was like a tardis- every door led to a new space! Roger provided all information required in a friendly, timely and professional manner. Highly recommend!

Clean, comfortable, great location and even though it’s near a busy corner and petrol station the noise wasn’t too bad, particularly overnight

The house and the location was excellent. Clean and comfortable home and close to shops/food outlets, etc.
The only issue was that there was no place for our dog to relieve itself. Everything outside was nicely brick paved and tiled but no lawn to use. We ended up walking across the road to an empty allotment. She found it difficult to settle.

Location was perfect for us. Easy walking distance to the areas we wanted to go. Roger was a very accommodating host - easy to communicate with and made every effort to assist us.
3.5 / 5.0
The cottage was very clean with ample supplies right down to shampoo and conditioner. The deep bath was lovely. We really enjoyed the side courtyard which is very private with a pretty garden and pergola with lights.
The keypad must have changed. The code was correct but there was no red button and no instruction on how to get the screen up in the first place.
The dishwasher stopped working.

Kitchen very well-equipped, pleasant outdoor area, great shower, cosy homey feel. Loved our stay.
Minor thing - shower water overflows to bathroom floor.
