"Fantastic house situated within a minute to shops in Ocean Grove and conveniently located within easy driving distance of local tourist places. Quiet, clean and perfect for larger families. Maureen was a wonderful host, thank you for having us"

"Easy wine tasting and good accomm and dining options"

"Having just bought a house in Ocean Grove Woodlands was a perfect retreat from the chaos of unpacking boxes and meeting tradies. Lovely to kick back at the end of the day. 5 nights was perfect. Thank you, would definitely recommend."

"The house has everything you need and plenty of space for a large family gathering. "

"Excellent accommodation, we enjoyed our stay."

"Found the property great. Suited our needs. Maybe some spare fans for 2 of the 3 bedrooms as the kids were really hot overnight. If you want the beach it is not nearby. It is a bit of a drive to get to the controlled beach as the house is located in a newish estate over the back of Ocean Grove. This was probably the biggest downside."

"This place is dirty. The bedrooms & bathrooms appeared to be clean.The front screen door had a thick layer of dirt. The living rm & kitchen area was not clean. The window sill in the kitchen had dead insects on it. The cup holders in the lounge suite had crumbs in them, & a nut shell, & crumbs in the leather seams. The tv stand had a thick dust layer under the tv. Something had been spilled on the metal bin, which had been wiped, but still dirty. The back door screen had a thick layer of dirt, something been spilt down it, which had washed the dirt off that area.The coffee machine was full of used coffee pods.Next morning, trying to make a cooked breakfast, there was not a usable pan. They were rusty & scratched. Something had been spilt on the cooktop, the toaster was dirty, & a stainless pot for boiling water was dirty.The pool/spa water was murky, you couldn’t see the bottom, not very inviting.We decided to leave, we couldn’t stay any longer in this dirty house. The host did offer to have someone clean & also replace the cookware. But we did not want to vacate while this was done.It’s a premium place, with a premium price, cleaning should have been done before we arrived.So 12 months of saving, wasted. A holiday ruined. The host puts us at fault for not reporting earlier & waiting for all these things to be rectified.We didn’t want to spend time in a dirty house even if an attempt was made to put it right. We deserve a refund, despite volunteering to leave."

"Great house, close to supermarkets and cafes. Gill was great communicating with us. We had a great time. "

"I’d like to start with I would definitely stay here again.However, the main air con does not reach a couple of bedrooms and they don’t have ceiling fans. We were 8 adults and 2 kids and there was ample room. Pool water was a little murky and floors were very dirty. Had to run the dishwasher 3 times before we could use it as it was dirty and smelly. Bins hadn’t been emptied from prior guests. Small things we remedied ourselves but we shouldn’t have had to"
