Good size property for family

This property was well sized for a family of five. With a large wrap around balcony and modern kitchen. Property needs some maintenance though - carpets had stains, the property smelt of dust and some fixtures were broken.

Great location

the view was great and we thought the kitchen was amazing. Best kitchen we have ever stayed in on a holiday. Kids LOVED the swing and the deck was great (shame we went on a cold, rainy weekend and had to stay inside). Kids want to go back so we will probably book this house again in the future. Thank you!

All the essentials

Well provisioned with everything you need for a home away from home. Handy location to shops and beach. As other reviewers have said, be mindful of the steep hill. You need to be fit if you intend to walk it. Large enclosed wooden deck for dogs, but they will need supervision on the unfenced grassy slope at the back.

Short family trip with doggos

Good neat little place - even if the super steep hill was tricky with the dogs at times. The properly isn’t new and modern but fully equipped and cozy. Great large rear private deck and front area is an added bonus as it’s all fully fenced so perfect for the dogs to run around on. Wi Finwould be good but not crucial - with the only AC unit up STI imagine the downstairs bedroom and lounge area might get pretty warm in the summer. All in all though great place and great value for money. We’ll be back for sure

The house was a little old but very comfortable and clean. The location was great. Short drive to the beach and town centre. Great outdoor area and the dogs loved it.

AMAZING VIEW, quiet getaway!

This location and setting was perfect for escaping the city and looking out over Lornes main beach. The house could sleep lots of people but I think would quickly become crowded if every bed was taken. Great for spotting wild life and getting away from the noise. We enjoyed walking up the super steep hill after our evening meal to work off our dinner. Warning that hill is not for the faint hearted. This dog says dog friendly but there is only a fenced decking area and no fenced grassy area. Overall 4/5

Great family holiday home

We recently spent three nights at Waverley and couldn’t have asked for a better home. Neat and tidy with plenty of cutlery and crockery, towels and extra blankets. The tree swing was a big hit with the kids (and adults) and we loved that we could bring our dog with us. The one thing is really needed at the house is some sort of child safety gate at the top of the stairs. The staircase is quite steep and very close to bathroom/bedrooms, so you definitely need to be vigilant with small children. Overall we had a fantastic time and will definitely stay again in the future.
