Great property if you're out and about. Not set up for sitting up watching TV. TV is not a smart TV and only has local stations.
It is close to shops which is great.
The house is compact and tidy, though is old and tired.
Front garden is beautiful, and nice to sit on bench in the sun.
Gap under back gate a slight concern as small dogs could crawl out.
Overall - nice house.

The plusses of this property was the comfy beds, clean bedding, abundance of towels, toiletries, kitchen & bathroom products and cleaning equipment. Wifi was good, outdoor area and lounge were good size. The owner/host was prompt and friendly with communication.
Down side was that I found the floors, cupboards and overall cleanliness to be below standard. Dead flies & dust around windows and skirts, cobwebs in corners and a few dead cockroaches under the bungalow bunk. The rugs could do with replacing and the wooden floors were sticky. The floor in the bungalow is a bit unsteady on walking through the door. I cleaned up a lot of stuff myself because I’m a weirdo that actually likes cleaning. When I mopped the floors the water was black a few times over. The bins were also full to the brim.
However, as my cousin rightly pointed out - if the tenants prior to myself were dirty and left the place in a state bad enough to fill the bins, the regular cleaner would not have had hardly any time to do a deep clean if they had to pick up all the mess and make 10 beds plus do a surface clean.
Overall, I loved the house. Great position, plenty of beds and linen and space to relax. Backyard secure to house medium to large dogs (not little ones as they could squeeze under gates). Aircon, washer, dryer and dishwasher all in good working order. Hot water a plenty! (Take care with little ones because it is hot!) This isn’t a 5 star hotel, it’s an older style home, but it is comfortable and central and relaxing once clean.
Things to update - rugs or get rid of them altogether. A flywire at the back door. And an extra set of keys would have been handy.
The lounge light works just fine, we figured out the fan remote has a button on it for the light on the last day! 😂
4.0
Starting with the positive - the house was well located, with comfortable beds and a good bathroom. There were plenty of spare towels and extra blankets. However, the house really needed a good clean - particularly the kitchen. There was a bowl of old noodles in the microwave, and plates and cutlery in the cupboard were dirty. Throughout the house we were frequently welcomed by the wildlife (cockroaches). Lounge ceiling light did not work and some of the remote controls had no batteries. The rear yard is not secure for small dogs, we had arranged to bring our Jack Russell upon booking, and were disappointed to find a large 30cm gap under the back gate. Most dogs would be able to escape.

Great property, backyard ideal for the dog. Only negative was the Victorian lockdown caused us to only have 2 nights instead of 3. Is it possible to get a credit note for our next stay?

Cute house, great location
Our stay in Portland was short, but the house was lovely and we would definitely love to come back. The location is fantastic, within walking or biking distance of the cbd. The house has lots of character and is very comfortable with great heating and electric blankets on the bed. Great little place.

The house was very clean and neat. Good for a family vacation and had most things you needed. However it was listed as having internet and it doesn't. Needs additional lighting in lounge room. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Great stay
Was there for a night stopping over with a family trip to Melbourne.
The accommodation was great and enjoyed the stay.
Just most of the corners of the house is had spiders and webs being a little scary as our little one would keep crawling around the corners collecting it all up.
Otherwise pretty good stay.
