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!

Excellent facilities in the home, lovely backyard for the kids. Dinner on the front deck and a short walk to the magnificent Long Beach. Beautiful bike ride along the coastal bike track into town. Great location to enjoy all Robe has to offer and a very comfortable and relaxing house.

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.

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!

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.
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.
