  Margaret G from MALLACOOTA, VIC recommends this vacation rental

  We simply loved our time at this luxury 3 double bedroom home. From the very moment of walking through the door, the peacefulness and stunning views of the canal were so very welcoming. The loaf of freshly made bread and spicy fig jam was a thoughtful touch. This home had everything you’d need while away from home, with a fantastic upstairs balcony accessed from two of the large bedrooms.

  Excellent, well presented, warm and inviting house.
  Plenty of room.
  Jetty mooring was excellent to leave boat tied for the weekend stay and felt very safe and secure.

  Stunning views overlooking the canal. The property was very clean with all amenities and the area was very peaceful. We loved to sit on the Balcony to take in the atmosphere, however the weather wasn’t too good. Maybe an outdoor heater might have helped. Had a lovely meal at the yacht club near by. All in all had a great time.

  Very pleasant stay in a lovely property. However in this day and age it is time that the property offered Wi-Fi connection. This would be the only downside to renting this property.

  John B from Canterbury, NA recommends this vacation rental

  The location on Mariners Quay is ideal. The barbeque facility is excellent. Overall the property was reasonably well equipped.
  However there were a few niggling issues that need fixing. There are no sun lounger beds available to use whichj is most disappointing given the location and time of year. There is no WiFi available on the property. In this day and age WiFi connections are expected, particularly in the more higher end properties.
  The property is NOT suitable for families with young
  children. There are steps and a pathway down to the jetty and the water from the rear patio but no safety gate is in place.
  The property could be cleaner. It appears the cleaners do not do a thorough job. Just one example from many, there were numerous dead insects on one of the beds which was brought to the attention of the agent after initial arrival. Other areas of the property require a good and thorough clean. I would recommend the property to friends etc. with certain reservations as highlighted.
