The kitchen/lounge is the highlight
Roomy kitchen and neat lounge, but overall a bit disappointing. The house was not very clean and there is some overdue maintenance required (e.g. doors missing, no bathroom curtain, toilet broken). Linen and amenities felt old and tired. Could be a good venue with some maintenance.

Overall a nice stay
We enjoyed our stay in warrnambool. The house was a little dated but comfortable enough. For the price I thought it might be a bit nicer but I guess that's just the way things are these days.

Excellent Stay
We had a great stay and loved the house. Very clean, light and comfortable with a great view of the river and sea in distance. Safe yard for our dogs and lovely walks around the river nearby. House is well set up and beds are very comfortable. Quiet neighbourhood, close to Gateway for shopping. We hope to stay again.

Had an enjoyable stay, the house was comfortable and clean. Was not impressed with the train line behind home but as last train was 10.30 pm and first train 6.30am,didn't impact as much as it might have.
