Great house with a couple minor complaints

Loved the layout of the house - the large second floor open kitchen-dining-living area that spills out onto the balcony suited our large group of friends perfectly. A couple minor complaints: - We would rather pay a small amount extra to have wifi. We didn't realise that wifi was not included on the property which was entirely our fault as the listing is accurate, however, it seems like an expected service these days. - Regarding the bedding, rather than using a doona cover, the doonas were uncovered and sandwiched between two loose sheets. There were also no fitted sheets; the mattresses were instead covered using another loose sheet. Doona covers and fitted sheets would be highly preferable.

This property worked well for us. Short drive to central Torquay and great walking tracks nearby. Short walk to beach and playground on tracks.
