Great Location for Long Beach Access!

Great house in a great location. Generally could do with a little TLC and maintenance (eg deep cleaning of floors under beds, rugs and couches/couch cushions, maintenance or tapware replacement or shower in total). Would be happy to stay here again next time we visit Robe!

Captains Cottage November 2024

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at the property before and found it suitable for our needs so chose to stay there again. The property was a bit dirty especially around windows and doors and particularly in the bathroom. The property would benefit from having wire screens on the 2 sliding doors so you could get an air flow and not have to rely on airconditioning for air movements.

A beautiful relaxing cottage for a young family.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely & relaxing stay. We felt comfortable & it was a great space for our young children. It was thoughtfully decorated & the extra equipment made us feel right at home. It was really clean, fresh - it felt light & homely. If in future the kitchen is redone please reconsider the location of power points and a higher quantity stove as those two points would have made cooking a lot smoother. We would gladly come and stay again!

Lovely house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was a lot bigger than expected, the master bedroom was amazing.I left a note with some minor repairs that need doing and a couple of suggestions that I think would give the over all feel of the house a bit of a lift. In saying that I thought the house was lovely and would stay again if I was ever down that way again.

Great holiday house

We had a great stay at Robe! The house was great for a family holiday. All the essentials provided (including high chair for the baby), no issues getting the key. Just a short walk to the beach and a bit away from the business of the town.
