It's a gem!

Spacious, stylish, and well appointed in an excellent location. Although on a main street we experienced no intrusive noise from the road or the fabulous shopping/dining precinct. Good layout for 2 couples to share as bedrooms are well separated. We found it perfect for our requirements.

Perfect apartment, perfect location

We had a lovely three night vacation and felt like we were staying in a luxury hotel. Comfortable beds, beautifully appointed, lage kitchen ( not that we cooked, as there were so many dining choices in the area) and so quiet, despite being right above the shops.

Best Location in Barwon Heads

Two couples stayed at this accommodation for a wedding celebration at ‘At the Heads’ - We could not be happier with the apartment inclusive of two large bedrooms & 2 large bathrooms. The living dining kitchen area had access to a sunlit balcony which although facing main shopping street was surprisingly quiet. Everything Barwon Heads has to offer was within 2-5min walking distance - beach, bridge, pub, restaurants, shops, supermarket. We really enjoyed all on offer at this apartment as everything is as advertised and would definitely stay again.

This is the perfect handy spot for an adult getaway. You could almost order your coffee from the balcony, its so convenient! but also quiet. The apartment is clean and spacious and well heated. The garage below and internal access is a bonus.

Gem in the heart of Barwon Heads

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this stunning two-bedroom apartment in Barwon Heads. The location is unbeatable, just a short stroll to the beach, shops, and beautiful walking trails, making it the perfect spot to explore everything this coastal gem has to offer.The apartment itself is spacious, open, and exudes luxury. The standout feature for me was the bed, hands down the most comfortable I have ever slept in! I’ve stayed in many hotels and private rentals around the world, and none compare to the quality and comfort of this place.The host was incredibly informative and made the entire booking and check-in process seamless, ensuring a stress-free stay. I will most definitely be looking to stay here again when I next visit Barwon Heads.

Fabulous!

We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Jane was amazing and prompt with her communication and check in was a breeze. Apartment is centrally located and we could walk to all the essentials including the supermarket and eateries. Thanks once again Jane for your attention to detail - not to mention the bottle of champagne on arrival.

Thanks Jane!

A great, centrally-located apartment. Our first time staying in BH and it’s a beautiful town. Jane was super efficient, friendly and easy to deal with. Properly is very tidy, clean and as advertised. I reckon in summer, because it’s above shops on the main street it might get noisy but the bedrooms are set back from the road so probably ok. When we were there in September it was perfect and we’ll be back.

A great location!

This is a great location in a lovely apartment. You need to be able to climb stairs to access the apartment. I was staying with my sister who had the main bedroom with ensuite. The second bedroom was more suited to kids than an adult. No storage space and the room only had an internal window without aircon. A fan was available. Take your own shower gel/soap and shampoo as nothing was supplied. A lovely stay but the second bedroom was a big disappointment.

Could have been so much better if manager had been closer ... not one and a half hours away!

Check in was a real task. Entry by code very good but actual opening of apartment door was very difficult. Our concern was we did not want to damage the door. Had to leave the premises to gain access to a wifi connection to contact the "host" only to be told "give it a real yank"!! Returned and did just that and what a real yank it was! Once inside the apartment the TV remote batteries were flat. Again had to leave apartment to buy a couple at the local IGA store ... as instructed by the "host". No information compendium ... "host" said it had been stolen and not replaced as yet! Kitchen drawers with liners had not been cleaned ... patterned holes showed particles and dust underneath and on lifting the liners it was obvious the drawers had not been cleaned. A good supply of quality tea was provided but only instant coffee. Not even a coffee plunger. No starter Salt and Pepper ...two very nice empty grinders. The disappointment was the apartment and location were very nice but the attention to detail by the "host" not up to the same standard.
