We were welcomed by a friendly french man who showed us the house. Beautiful ocean views and very peaceful. The cottage had basic amenities but we were very disappointed with the service. We got to the accommodation in the afternoon on a hot 35 degree day hoping to relax and escape the heat. The house was like a furnace. When we texted Sam, she said she cannot control the weather (which is fair enough), so we requested for basic fans considering there is no air conditioning in the house, but they couldn't provide us with any. Although they were kind enough to tell us that we could go to the 'main house' for a bit to cool down in the afternoon, we were already on our way to a cafe in Apollo Bay.
At night, things got worse , we were all extremely hot and uncomfortable to the point where I had to put my 1 year to sleep in my air conditioned car all night. The rest of us in the house could not sleep all night as it was too hot and we were bitten by mossies (despite having mesh windows and mossie net around 1 of the beds). This place is not ideal specially during hot summer days and they should be prepared with at least basic fans if not ac's. Although Sam cannot control the weather, she can surely control the temperature in the house. We had to cut our holiday short because we all had a sleepless night. Sam did not even have the courtesy to meet us even once during the trip. We spoke to a couple of other guys staying there that night and they had very similar issues. Like us, they were not sure how this host received so many good reviews online. They all agreed that the reviews are either fake or they have recently dropped their standards. Not happy and won't be back.
