    Nothing- everything was perfect

    The whole stay was so relaxing taking in the amazing views and enjoying the superb facilities.Bryan and Joan had thought of everything right from the moment of booking with detailed directions and recommendations for places to visit including local restaurants- not that you will want to eat out and leave this little haven. The goodies bag including chocolates and wine was thoughtful touch but watching the dolphins and seals swim by in the mornings was the icing on the cake

    No comment. It was such a special little place and location, couldn't say anything negative.

    The view and atmosphere was relaxing. Sounds of the ocean and starry skies were beautiful. Hosts were great and always checking in to see if all was well. Cottage was so cosy and had everything we needed. Private beach access was a plus.

    • Stayed 3 nights

    This rental was well-equipped with various amenities that made the stay even more enjoyable. Apart from the cozy wood-burning fireplace and comfy sofa, the homeowners stocked the kitchen, making it convenient for making breakfast each morning. The cozy living area was perfect for relaxation, and the bedroom was comfortable and clean. Waking up to a spectacular ocean view from the bed made our stay more enjoyable. There was also a spacious deck that offered a great spot for taking in the beautiful surroundings. One of the nicest surprises was the corner window seating, which made it ideal for reading a book while listening to the waving crashing below. Additionally, the remote location provided a sense of tranquility and privacy, a significant amenity in itself, allowing for a truly peaceful and serene escape by the ocean. The homeowner's attention to detail made our stay the most enjoyable.

    From the moment you enter the driveway to the moment you step into your cottage nothing is out of place. The cottage itself (cottage #2 for us) was inviting and cosy with georgeous unobstructed views of the ocean and a generous welcome gift from the owners. Everything you could want, and more, is supplied - it is like being in a home away from home. Nothing has been overlooked. Bryan is a friendly and welcoming host and full of information about attractions in the region and recommendations of places to eat. The weather was up and down during our stay (sun, wind, thunder, rain and hail which resulted in countless rainbows) however that didn't ruin our stay or stop us from attending several attractions. Points South By The Sea is perfectly located, not too far out from Apollo Bay but far enough for relaxation, complete privacy and absolute peacefulness. Enjoying a movie with a glass of wine by the fireplace is just bliss. It was so easy falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean and, at times, rain instead of the usual traffic and barking dogs back at home. After not having a getaway for quite a few years we are thrilled to have found Points. However 2 nights just wasn't enough for us. We will definitely be back again, hopefully sooner rather than later. Thank you Bryan & Joan for a wonderful stay.

    Everything was perfect during our stay!

    Gorgeous cottage, exactly as presented in photos. It’s even more spacious than we expected. Secluded, private and romantic, yet perfectly accommodating to a young family. Equipped with everything you might need. Bryan is a true host - he made us feel very welcome and was happy to help with anything we needed. Gave us a welcome hamper, which was a lovely gesture. Loved waking up to the sea views, the sounds of the waves, fireplace and the nook!! Location was just perfect. We’d love to be back to stay here again. Our holiday was just perfect :)
