We loved Lainey's place and her very kindhearted hosting and communication. My partner and I had travelled from the UK to visit family for the first time in two years, and even though there was much uncertainty about travel and restrictions, Lainey was happy to accept our booking some months ago. She even offered to get shopping for us if we needed to isolate for any reason, which was very reassuring and gracious. The house itself is beautifully presented with many personal touches and a lot of great artwork and sculptures both inside and out, which Lainey has produced herself. I particularly enjoyed all the different spaces in the garden which is like a peaceful oasis. The kitchen is also well-stocked meaning we could host friends and family in this beautiful space. You also could not ask for a more perfect setting right by the beautiful Barwon River with all its stunning vistas and birdlife. It's only a short walk to Ocean Grove beach and a very pleasant meander to Barwon Heads along the river. Although it is true the owner lives onsite, her residence is very separate and you would not even know she was there at all. However, what really sets this place apart from many others is Lainey's very personal and kind hosting - by far the best I have experienced on Airbnb. Thank you Lainey for a wonderful stay - we look forward to coming back again when we next come to Australia.
