Located in a perfect part of ocean grove, the house provided an amazing long term stay. Debbie was super kind and caring in making sure that our stay was a special one. We will definitely be utilising Debbie again in the near future! Just a standard beach shack for the big price tag… There was no hot water working for our entire stay , which was disastrous for my family of 4 who couldn’t shower for 3 days!! Made worse when the host Debbie wouldn’t get a plumber or electrician out to deal with the emergency? electricity tripping out when using appliances like the toaster and microwave so this was also useless? No heating working, so had to spend an extra $100 on firewood… Upon communication with the host Debbie when she didn’t lie about a plumber coming, she proceeded to claim that I was rude for requesting these maintenance faults be fixed immediately ? All in all my family and I found this shack in Ocean grove to be absolutely miserable… without exaggeration!!! Tread carefully before you pay for this property hosted by Debbie from Barwon Heads…. The house is as described. It is in a good location and everything functioned as it should. There are only a few things which stood out that I'd make future guests aware of - there is no internet and there is no air conditioning and when we stayed there it got incredibly hot for a few days. Also the refrigerator is very small if you are a larger group of couples using the 3 available rooms.
I'll happily admit that the amenities listing does not list internet or air conditioning and it was an oversight on my behalf upon booking. When I reached out to the owner/manager they did kindly assist by making sure each bedroom had a pedestal fan for us. Their communication was good and it was transparent.
Overall we did have a fantastic stay despite a few days of suffering in the heat and using a lot of data on devices. The outdoor area was nice and the double entrance driveway a clever touch, as reversing onto Wallington Rd can be a nightmare with the traffic zipping around the corner.
