This is a actually a really nice place. An extremely solid listing on Airbnb. The loft is actually bigger than it looks in the pictures. There are two separate rooms, one large space which contains a large living area, kitchenette and a double bed. The separate room contains a double bed and a single bed, with an en suite. Both room have large, well lit windows. From the main room you can actually view the ocean from the window. Downstairs from the loft there is another toilet, a shower and a large bathroom sink with a large vanity mirror. Also, I didn't realise this from the listing but the loft is completely separate from the main residence and has its own private entrance. Below the loft is a double garage which is used by the household, but this was extremely unobtrusive.
There were ample amenities, the kitchen drawers were well stocked with more plates, bowls, knives and forks than you could possibly need. The rooms had plenty of towels, soap, etc. This was all very thoughtful! The internet worked great and the TV even had Foxtel (I never watch TV, but it was there!). The place was tastefully decorated, with a few interesting items in the corners of the room, in combination with the cleanliness and overall high standard of the interior, it had a really peaceful vibe; it made me feel extremely relaxed. The check-in and check-out process was the same, extremely well planned and organised which made the whole experience a breeze. I felt like things were taken care of and I could just relax.
You can actually walk to the beach quite easily from the location, it's not beachfront but it's only one street off from beachfront. You can walk to the sand in less than 10 minutes easily. To get to central Torquay it's a bit over a 30 minute walk, a worthwhile morning exertion.
If you are a small family or group I would definitely give this a go!
