Location to beach is superb, couldn't get much closer. Hostess was very easy to contact, communicate with and very helpful and accommodating.
AustraliaPerfect location, well fitted-out for families, very clean and comfortable. Communication was excellent, and we had a fantastic time. Would definitely love to stay again soon!!!
Australiagreat place, not far from the beach, or the shops. Very quiet and calm, beautiful place to stay at much recommend. Had everything you needed in the kitchen, great showers and has a dishwasher. lots of room and space!
AustraliaBeing able to sit comfortably, in peace looking into the garden was a treat. Finding a coffee pot just like ours, fabulous. Generous condiment provision. Who wants to go buy salt and pepper,or plastic wrap on holiday? Easy access to the beach, Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove. The delicious chocolate mousse at the not-too-far-away Bowls Club, and the playroom for the children.
AustraliaBeautifully furnished, comfy couches with feather cushions. Beds have supportive mattresses and stylish bed linen. Kitchen was well stocked and very clean. Short walk to the beach, a very enjoyable stay.
AustraliaIt really is only a couple of minutes stroll to the beach. The accommodation is spacious, modern, and has everything you would need. Ocean grove has a target and a coles, so there are no problems if you forget something. We packed one of the days full with walks to the river, lunch in barwon heads, a helicopter flight over torquay, and a trip to the beach. Best day we've had this year, and Alices palace was a great place to come back to and relax. The communication from the owners leading up to the weekend was exceptional.
