With the end of lockdowns in Melbourne, we were really looking forward to our holiday and it was a blessing to find Simon and Anna's place on AirBnB. Their home was as beautiful as it was described, with the bonus of having two adorable little hosts showing us the place and making us absolutely welcome.
The place is a short walk away from the beach and the town centre, with a picturesque lake next to the house for a stroll. We made the trip by the public bus from Geelong, and the bus stop was a short walk from the house.
The room is spacious and well lit with a separate entrance and an ensuite bathroom. Every little detail was well taken care of and provided for. The bed was very comfortable, which was the perfect place to be after a long day of exploring the beach and the lovely town.
Anna and Simon are lovely, gracious and very friendly hosts, easy to share a chat with and help with useful tips and stories about the place and surroundings. Their two little boys are adorable, fun to talk to and most importantly, extremely well behaved. We would have loved to spend more time with them all during our very short stay.
All in all, staying in Simon and Anna's home is more like staying at a friend's place, with them treating us as friends staying over, rather than just visitors. And that makes all the difference, which will have us coming back, whenever we go back to Ocean Grove.
Thank you Anna and Simon for a lovely holiday!!
