Serene Stay

Nice place to stay for the GP weekend. Private and quiet. Hosts were lovely - said hi upon my arrival, but otherwise didn’t encroach, which is what I like. A beautiful, lush garden separates the unit from the house adding to the privacy factor. Thank so much!

Phillip Island perfection 🏝️🏁

Susie and Damon’s Twisted Mermaid is an about gem, nestled in the private sanctuary of their property. Very generous and spacious parking with a gorgeous hidden garden path that leads you to your cabin. All furnishings, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom feels extremely modern and brand new. This accommodation is truly immaculate. Just wait till you experience their rain water shower head.. This stay was solo, during the MotoGP 24 weekend. Literally a 2min drive to the circuit each day. Absolute perfection. Thank you for having me! Adam.

From the first contact with Susie and Damon, we were keep well informed and made to feel very special. I The Twisted Mermaid met our requirements and is absolutely one of the best we have stayed in. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the rest of the unit tastefully furnished and comfortable. Located in a quiet court, it is only short walk to the beach. Highly recommend and thank our very kind hosts Susie and Damon.

Perfect!

What a great location. Had absolutely everything we needed and more ( cheeky chocolates included ). Tried to book for next years GP but sadly it’s already booked. This luxurious and spotless studio will not disappoint! Thank you to our hosts. Great communication. Went above and beyond.

Well presented and clean with good facilities but we’re not expecting to be in the back yard of the hosts home,3 metres away. We felt this was a privacy issue.

Stunning

The property felt private and secluded, surrounded by greenery. You would never know it was in a backyard. The property is beautifully finished; exactly as it appears in the photos. It is one street back from a beautiful beach and coastline. It was the perfect property for a romantic getaway.

Luxury stay with incredible hosts

A brand new home on Smith's Beach with generous and thoughtful hosts who provided every possible amenity. The chocolates, hand creams and generous bedding were wonderful but their offer to put our car in their garage in stormy weather was unexpected and kind. Just a perfect week!
