Good but not ideal
Firstly this post is not intended to be offensive to the owner/ host, it’s just our honest opinion. Bare in mind we can be pedantic. The host was really nice and quickly replied when we had a small issue with something. This post is being made to assist future families looking at going to this air Bnb and to assist the host to improve this air Bnb.
What was good:
- the view from the veranda (although trees blocked the beach)
- Leafy surrounds
- Privacy
- Semi modern household
What was bad
- bad wifi
- no shade on veranda
- Several curtains missing in bedroom and throughout the house
- water was yellow and smelt of cheese
- not the greatest for my dog, back area is an open grass area with neighbouring dogs accessible and one being a bit aggressive
- stairs, not advised for anyone with disabilities. You have to walk up about 20 steps to get to the lounge room and another 10 steps for one room and 5 steps for the other
- ocean/ beach view blocked by trees and powerlines
- no safe path to beach access you need to cross the main road
- Beach itself is a large rocky beach with only small sand areas not ideal for swimming or dog walks
- Signs also posted banning dogs on the beach
- No trail near house within walking distance to Otway park. 10 minute drive to koala sightseeing path
- Fly screens with holes.
- Very relaxed security
- Bath is very small
- Mattresses and pillows seemed very old and cheap
- The linen had that old smell to it like they’ve been stored away for a substantial period
