AustraliaThe location, decor, cleanliness, and overall feel was perfect! The bungalow is private and comfortable. Everything from the soft towels, beautiful bedding, and breakfast spread was beyond expectations. We will be back and stay there on our trips to Port.

AustraliaBreakfast provisions were excellent - a really good choice available and Denise's homemade berry jam was delicious. The location is spot on as it's an easy walk into the main town.
Jules

AustraliaThe breakfast provisions were terrific, with the Denise and Ian very accommodating in providing food that was suitable for my dietary requirements. They also provided a delicious slice for our afternoon tea after we checked in. The bungalow was lovely with many extra little touches provided above what was expected, and they were extremely flexible with check-in and check-out.

AustraliaIan and Denise were excellent hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The room is large, the bed was super comfy and the fireplace delightful. So much more for the same price as a hotel room.

AustraliaDenise was a wonderful host. She rang on the day of check in to let me know the room was ready (a few hours earlier than arranged let me add) and let me know some bar and restaurant recommendation in the area. We spent the afternoon at Jack Rabbit winery and had dinner at the Muscle Bar on the main street of town. The place was beautiful and clean upon arrival and had everything we could possibly need.

Denise and Ian
Cosy bungalow with ensuite, beachy decor, extremely comfortable queen sized bed Cont. breakfast is provided. Very private, roomy, detached from main house, ideal for a couple; foxtel included in the tariff. We are a very well travelled couple who love to talk to people from all backgrounds and walks of life. The house is 1 min 25 secs drive/5 mins walk to one of Victoria's best swimming and fishing beaches, 10 min walk to ferry, 4 mins drive to 5 top wineries and the golf club. It is 700 mtrs to the start of Portarlington village which has 10 cafes/ restaurants, incl. Indian, Chinese, Italian, Seafood, Pizza, plus numerous little boutique clothes and homeware stores, bank, newsagency, wine bar and hotel, all of a very good standard. The open fireplace in the Bungalow is perfect for those chilly winter evenings - wood supplied free of charge with 1 days notice required [ once lit, the fire must not be left unattended ].
Smoking is not appreciated anywhere on the premises - if you must smoke, kindly smoke out in the street, as it is very difficult to eliminate the tobacco aroma from curtains and furnishings.
We are a well travelled retired couple, very happy to interact,, but equally, your time at our Bungalow is just that - your time - and we are just as happy to leave you alone and to your own devices. We are only a 'phone call away for any queries or assistance and for stays over 4 days we can do your washing for you [ at no charge ] if needed, and assuming we are home.
Plenty of fishing, swimming , golfing, wineries, rail trails for riding and walking, restaurants and cafes on our doorstep.
