A perfect little get away
This is the second time we stayed here and we love it. A light and bright open house, with everything you need. Always clean and tidy and completely set up with everything you need. We love the quiet location that’s walking distance to the beach and a playground around the corner. We’ll definitely be back!

Home away from Home
What can i say, but it was a home away from home. A huge thanks to Karen and Dave for sharing your wonderful property. Its the first place the family have wanted to come back to, and the first my wife commented that it was totally clean, top to bottom which so many others just dont do. Not to mention how you kindly shared everything within the house to make the most of our stay. So central to everything, and that view from the deck is the best. Cant wait to be back.

Surf Beach holiday
We had a great time watching eurovisions at Karen&Dave's place. It's a beautiful house with lots of space and very well equipped. Short walk to the beach and the water was still nice to swim! Had pizzas from the near by pizza truck and they were great too. Overall everything was easy from the start and we enjoyed a lot.

Bayview Retreat a real treat
A great getaway weekend at a fantastic holiday house. Accommodation was wonderful. Four bedrooms with three bathrooms worked really well. Well appointed kitchen and lounge area. Girls loved the jukebox , the games room and the boogie boards in the garage. We’ll hopefully be back.

Beautiful Bayview retreat
A beautiful home away from home! The accom is clean and perfect for a few families with a great living space to gather. The 4bedroom 3bathroom/toilet was perfect for 3 families to share! The little decorations add some quirkiness. All the cutlery, dinner sets and utensils were all new and clean. Quiet neighbourhood and good view from the top floor. Communication from the owners was quick and efficient. The donut can few min down the road is a must! Thankyou so much! Highly recommend for anyone staying in phillip island.

We enjoyed our stay at Karen and Dave's place. Though the weather wasn't the best, coming back to such a comfortable house wiped away all the coldness and wetness. Will surely recommend this to our friends and we would come back again :)
