Guest Reviews

• Paul (10/5): Excellent - Location and cleanliness The vertical blinds on the back door don’t work properly
• Lisa (9/5): Lovely, comfortable stay, wonderful location, love a comfy couch and long doggo was super happy - Check in confusing. I would of preferred correspondence prior to the trip not on the day I was driving to the destination.. As abpve
• rebekah (9/5): Very enjoyable. - Property was well located, a short walk to the Shops and lake. Presented as per the photos and descriptions. Great for a short getaway. Layout was good including outdoor areas. Great for our 2 dogs.
• Mark (10/5): Top stay - Clean and perfect location
• Pengchong (8/5): - The location is great, walking distance to the town center The WiFi doesn’t work.
• Peter (8/5): - Great location in the middle of town Cleanliness left a bit to be desired
• Joel (7/5): Clean, great location, spacious but no Wifi - Great location, clean, spacious and very comfortable. I had to travel for work, there was no wifi. Could connect but all devices, phone, laptop and TV stated no internet. Metung is a black hole for internet but the unit is advertised with wifi. Flickering kitchen lighting was annoying.
• Robyn (8/5): Great location and very comfortable - Great proximity walking distance to the shops and walking tracks
• Jessica Belle (9/5): Perfect for a getaway. - Pet friendly, spotlessly clean. Great secured yard for our dogs. Nothing
• Templar (10/5): Great town house - Amazing location just around the corner to local shops. Private and spacious for our family of 4 + 2 small dogs. My only half complaint is the shower water pressure/flow rate is a bit high (can that be a complaint?). I think this lead to the hot water running out quickly and me being the last to shower meant I got a cold shower.
• Natalie (9/5): - Able to put my car off the street and behind a garage. Air con on all ready for our arrival. Easy to find and access property. Outside bins were full and hadn't been emptied in weekly collection.
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Geoffrey (9/5): Superb - Great location comfortable unit No extra blankets or electric blankets Was very cold to sleep
• K (9/5): Superb -
• Gagandeep (5/5): I won’t book it again as the place was not clean . There were bacon webs and the fan was full of dust. We were bitten by - It was good location The smell of gas kept us wondering what did we do wrong and then upon calling the customer care number they didn’t know anything about it. I had to make few calls and got transferred to the right person eventually and was advised that gas bottles must be replaced. Turned gas off for the night and changed it in the morning which was waste of our time.
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (9/5): Lovely place, excellent access to the town and eateries - Excellent location short walk to the town clean and tidy. No condiments at all in Kitchen (except Salt and Pepper). While this did not cause us problem we came prepared for 5 days, someone arriving late on a shorter stay, late evening might appreciate some long life milk / teabags etc. Garage is bit small, but there is a hardstand off the road which I used.
• Cheryl (9/5): Superb -
• Kathy (8/5): We has a lovely short stay with our whippet with lots of walks around Metung and the shops and excellent pub very close. - The location was very good with a short walk to the shops and lakes. Great TV (x2 with one in the main bedroom!) great reception and wifi. Decking and garden both lovely places to sit outside. It was very clean on arrival so a shout out to the cleaners! The bed was very comfortable with lovely linen and towels provided. The driveway/carport was too small for our vehicle (Subaru xx) so we had to park it outside the property.
• Neil (9/5): Superb - Great spot very comfortable
• Tania (7/5): Beautiful location - Location and the entire house was good. The airconditions were not great at all. We took stuff for a BBQ but it was very dirty. My husband had to soaking the grill in hot water give it a good scrub but the BBQ didn't work 😒 . Very disappointing.
• Doug (9/5): Superb -
• Cimdins (9/5): We have stayed at Stones Throw a few times, it is in a premium position in Metung. - The property has everything you need to make you holiday enjoyable. Comfortable rooms, they are all are air conditioned and the bedrooms also have fans,. The kitchen is stocked with glasses, crockery and other stuff you need to prepare a meal. There is a full sized refrigerator, stove, microwave, and on the outside deck there is new BBQ. We mainly ate at the Metung Hotel for dinner, probably the best pub in East Gippsland. Book as it is usually full by 7pm. The car port roller door was difficult to open, and and refused to shut when we left. They do not have complimentary tea, coffee and milk, for the first night. Metung only has one general store and it could be closed if guests arrive late. No bedside clock, I think a cheap clock, that just shows the time during the night and early morning would be handy for those guests who like to go fishing or walking, but don't want to wake up their partner.
• Michael (8/5): Convenient reasonably priced - Clean well situated Tea and coffee would have been welcome perhaps face washers and some milk
• Mary (10/5): Excellent - we would like to come there again. - I couldn't work the oven - it may well have been me!
• Neil (9/5): Relaxing, great location, comfortable, and pet friendly our 3rd stay and we have already the 4th! - Great location, and comfortable beds, quality furnishings and dogs allowed A coffee plunger in the kitchen would help. No other concerns
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Roseh (8/5): Very good - Enjoyed the position close to the main street and Lake King. It was clean and tidy. Everything we needed was there. We will definitely stay there again. The beds could be upgraded.
• Christian (10/5): Perfect place to stay in the heart of Metung - Clean and comfortable with full amenities. Beautiful area in a good location walking distance to shops and jetty boardwalk. Outdoor area not shaded Main bed a little saggy on one side
• Dianne (9/5): Superb -
• Lynnette (8/5): Enjoyable stay. - We loved staying here. It was clean and comfortable . Coffee shops, cafes , the marina all within walking distance. We liked being able to have our dog stay with us.
• Yi (5/5): Passable - Location! We found a lots of ant @ kitchen
• Lynette (9/5): Lovely convenient property - In the heart of Metung village - easy walk to the pub, store etc with our dog Mosquitoes- front yard was a haven for them - we had to go and buy some fly spray- because they got as we opened the door.
• Jenny (7/5): Comfortable unit great location - Position excellent Strong previous cooking food smell from when we walked in and was still there after 4 days!
• Louise (10/5): Exceptional - Location was excellent. Place was spotlessly clean and spacious.
• Norman (7/5): Good - Location -
• Terry (8/5): Very good - Great spot, nice and clean close to town Few more little things for the first night stay...milk coffee ect
• Fiona (9/5): Charming, well located, well appointed, we highly recommend A Stones Throw! - Easy walk to the local village shops, cafes, pub for dinner. Great walk along the board walk around the lake and marina.
• Ian (8/5): Great time in a great place - The house was very comfortable and clean Exceeded our expectations. All in all v good, particularly as it was dog friendly There was no one to call. Everything was via sns or email, which is fine but a backup phone number would have been useful. Also the pre access form was intrusive and largely unnecessary. I will not give my license details to anyone for example
• Daniel (10/5): We had a great stay and it definitely worth the amount paid. - The property is clean, the bed is really comfortable, and the shower water is really big. Not enough of kitchen items given, like a hand washer, rubbish bags. The room could have a heater as it is quite cold in winter, one portable heater located at the living room may not be enough to heat the entire home.
• Christine (10/5): Exceptional - Location was great. Did need spare blankets
• Neil (10/5): Exceptional - Location
• Derek (7/5): It was a good base for an enjoyable stay in the area. - A very good location close to amenities. Very quiet. It is well placed for the board walk on the East and path on the West of the promontory and very close to the "village green" with marina, pub, cafes and convenience shop. Having to shop for basics on arrival - tea, coffee, sugar, cooking oil. Kitchen scissors would be a useful addition. All of these are available in similar properties in my experience. The second bedroom is subject to noise from the HWS heat pump, making it hard to sleep in it when the unit runs, which it did for many hours one night, necessitating sleeping on the settee. I thought the display photos made the property appear larger than it actually is. On arrival I wondered if this really was the property I booked.
• Christine (8/5): Very good - So close to the shops. "Just a Stones throw!!!!!" Bathroom could do with a renovation .However it was clean and perfectly useful
• Paul (10/5): Loved it great location very clean - Every thing Damage to carpet in hallway
• Sharon (10/5): Best nights sleep - Perfect location..loved it..very clean and had all and more that's needed in a home... very comfy bed and pillows... easy to access and to wander the village... Washing machine and pegs to hang out any clothes to dry.. shower was great.... good water pressure... Home was perfect... nothing to winge about here..
• Deborah (9/5): Superb - Location brilliant Please add sensor light at front path and door
• Ivona (8/5): Great place for our family and our dog, close to everything and very quiet. We will definitely come back in the future. - Quiet place and close to everything
• Janice (6/5): Pleasant - The locality was great. Couldn't get the air conditioner to work. Just blew warm air . Really hot day. Lost power due to storm so had to leave a day earlier.
• Patrick (9/5): Great - It was perfect for three and could have easily fit footrest comfortably . So close to the central shops but still very quiet and peaceful
• Hardy (10/5): Wonderful stay, enjoyed it. - Nice and quiet location Nothing
• John (7/5): Good -
• Trudi (9/5): Superb - No staff. Whole house.
• Paul (7/5): Thanks, and hope this information is helpful - Fantastic location and easy living Bed needs replacing and the cleaning was a little below par given the cost.
• De (9/5): Gippsland October 2023 - Close to cafes and shops, quiet location, clean and comfortable, felt like a home away from home. No complaints at all. Great place to stay and I'd be happy to stay again.
• Vipin (8/5): Good - Near the water front
• Andy (8/5): a very easy place to sleep - all good not really much to say
• Simon (8/5): Clean, well equipped, pet friendly, spacious, easy walk to center of town, perfect for families! -
• Julie (9/5): An excellently located property that met all our expectations. - Location, the kitchen and bathroom were good We were cold at night - a few blankets would have been good.
• Peter (9/5): Superb - The property was classed as dog friendly but only if the dogs are outside. This should be made known in the original advertisement and not only after the booking has been made in fine print.
• Dianne (10/5): Exceptional - Great comfortable accommodation and perfect location.
• Stephanie (6/5): Great location but needs updating, tired & not comfortable - Flexible check in - we were able to check in earlier The washing machine didn’t work - just filled up with water & didn’t wash, tried 3 times & had to take clothes to laundromat in the end. The bed in the master was horribly uncomfortable. The cleaning of the bathrooms wasn’t up to scratch
• Jenny (8/5): Very good - location and comfort trees scraping against window of spare bedroom on windy night
• Terry (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jiyeon (8/5): Very good -
• Oscar (9/5): Superb -
• Jools (8/5): Aptly Named - It was 'A Stones Throw' to everything! - The location was perfect and, the cleanliness was great. Having the ability to have a miriad of kitchen utensils to be able to cook ourselves was great. This is not a criticism - more of a suprise..... and something we haven't experienced. On arrival at other AirB&B's there's always been tea bags/coffee, milk & sugar to have a drink on arrival - thankfully we took our own There was no welcome booklet, or any information about the property (how to use the AirCon) or any local knowledge about secret spots to visit in Metung or surrounding areas Having said all this - it won't stop us visiting again or recommending the property to others :)
• Cathy (10/5): If you want a very comfortable, quiet getaway that allows dogs - book this! Thank You! - Location is just perfect! Unit was very clean and well presented. Absolutely loved our stay here, and allowing our very well behaved labradoodle to stay was an added bonus - well that's actually why we booked! So very quiet and secluded and yet just around the corner to the town. Wifi and Netflix included too! Thank you If anyone says there and says there is something they they didn't like - ...... dont ask them back! Was perfect! Absolutely no complaints from us at all!
• Yvonne (8/5): Very good -
• Robertson (10/5): Exceptional -
• Coutts (10/5): it was so great to be able to bring our dogs on holidays - close to everything and dog friendly nothing
• Loris (9/5): We loved it. - The property was perfect for us. Clean and comfortable and in a great location. Best of all is that it is dog friendly. That back steps are very step and could be a hazard for children.
• Kate (7/5): comfortable & clean, good location - central location, sheltered deck a few more kitchen items would be helpful
• Patricia (8/5): Clean comfortable pleasant - All the intrusive questions to register and book in
