Christmas at Indented Head

Excellent location. House very comfortable and well appointed- although there could have been a couple of bigger cooking pots. Also third bed could have been made up. The owner was very easy to contact. We will have no hesitation in recommending this property to others.

Comfortable beach Shack

This property has everything you need to be comfortable however it could use a little TLC. Plenty of games for kids and the polished were easy to clean. The location and view were Fantastic and the neighbours were great. We loved sitting on the porch and taking it all in. The outdoor shower was very handy to wash off after a swim. In all, we we had a great holiday and would go back stay again.

5 star view , but a 3 star property

Great view across Port Phillip Bay. Front entrance ramp needs a rail . Only towels were provided and they were in one of the bedrooms in amongst other bedding. The main bedroom did not have a fan and we couldn’t open the windows. The wardrobe space was lacking in the other 2 bedrooms. There were no hand towels or tea towels.The beds were comfortable .

Great location but house a bit run down

The view is amazing and it is about a 25m walk to the beach. The house was well equipped, and the host was very accomodating. It was great to be able to take our two dogs and have them safe, there was even a long lead to tie them up on the verandah out the front. What is not shown in the photos is that the house is in need of a bit of TLC. Only some windows opened, the bathroom is quite tired with stains in the shower and a few tiles coming away.

Location, location

Perfect location right in front the beach and walking/biking trail in a not busy and quiet at night area which is perfect for relaxing. The kitchen is well equipped, the addition of a pool, air hockey and soccer tables is great to entertain the kids on a rainy day. The WiFi is stong and Netflix worked flawlessly on the tv (good size too).The backyard is big enough and well fenced for dogs. (please note that there is no swimming pool as listed on the website)Overall a very good experience, communication with Li was excellent and flawless. Maybe the only downside would be the shower and toilet could do with a bit of freshen up.

What an amazing location! Li's house was perfect for us. We loved the location, just across the road from the beach and a short ramble up the coastline to Indented Head shop, or in the other direction to Port Arlington. Li's communication was excellent and we would love to stay again.

Relaxing Week

I enjoyed my stay at the property. It's across the road from the beach so I got to enjoy the beautiful views everyday. It's also very quiet so it was easy to relax. The property is conveniently located, only a short drive to Portarlington town centre, and close to other attractions like Queenscliff. Communication with Li was quick and easy. I had a lovely stay.

Affordable Seaside Getaway

Our family of 5 plus pet cat soaked up sand and sun on surrounding beaches. Well located on esplanade between Portarlington and Indented Head, suits walkers, bike riders and anglers, those prepared to get out and about. House has basic amenities and layout suited to active people, overall reminiscent of simple holiday houses of yester year. The host is very helpful and keen for guests to enjoy their stay
