Guest Reviews
- Jing (10/5): - The views in front of the house
- Monique (10/5): -
- Anne (10/5): A perfect relaxing getaway in a fantastic location. - Great location close to the beach, very comfortable and stylish furnishings, loved the jacuzzi on the deck. Bed was very comfortable, all the equipment was modern and high quality. Tiny details let the overall excellent presentation down - coffee machine but no pods, great washing machine but no detergent. Otherwise everything was great.
- Nathan (10/5): -
- Malinda (10/5): Absolutely lovely way to recharge and enjoy the surroundings. - Super close to the beach, lovely views, relaxing, lots of room for the kids to run and play. All the amenities plus more. Loved the coffee machine and washing machine I didn’t have to take any dirty clothes home. Also we enjoyed having movie nights with big tv and internet. Jacuzzi was lovely but some of the jets didn’t work. Some dishes and the bbq a little dirty.
- Ryan (1/5): -
- Bernie (10/5): We had a relaxing sat at this beautiful coastal retreat and loved the Jacuzzi with an amazing view of the surrounding la - We really enjoyed our stay, unfortunately the weather was a bit blowsy but we felt snug and relaxed at this beautiful spot and the Jacuzzi made for a perfect stay!
- Lheene (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful spot. We will definitely be back
- Liliana (4/5): While the location was great, the property was poorly maintained and not clean. I spent much of our stay cleaning due to - The location was great centrally located with easy access to shops, the beach, and local attractions. The property was not clean or well maintained. The rugs and floors were filthy, dirt under the beds and couch, and the doona and pillows were dirty. I spent two days cleaning the property, trying to remove cobwebs from the walls, thick dust from the window sills, hosing the outside area, and cleaning artificial plants that were covered in dust. This level of cleaning should not have been required for a paid stay. There were also unsecured mirrors, one in the hallway and one in the bedroom, posing a safety risk for my children. Additionally, the uneven flooring made us feel dizzy and unsteady while walking through the property. This was particularly concerning as my husband and child suffer from asthma, and the dust and poor cleanliness aggravated their condition resulting in my husband having to attend the nearby hospital for treatment.
- Mike (8/5): - the floor was slanted and it took a while to get used it it but only a small issue
- Theo (9/5): Terrific accommodation - This is a really good property, well appointed and very comfortable, and a stroll to the beach. Nothing to not like
- Rachael (10/5): Beautiful peaceful break in a great location - Beautiful property. Well appointed. Fabulous location.
- Somrudee (10/5): - This place very clean and comfortable, we have beautiful time in our holiday.
- Caterina (10/5): -
- Jessamy (9/5): This a comfortable, freshly decorated and fully equipped holiday cottage next to the sea. - This little cottage is lovely. We visited on a cold and wet week, but despite the weather, my 13-year-old and her friend had a great time in the jacuzzi. You can hear the waves at night. We would love to come back when it is warm enough to swim in the sea.
The interior decorating is contemporary and comfortable. We appreciated the thought that had been put into the guests' experience. There was an issue with the chimney in that the smoke from the fire (which was lovely on a cold night) kept blowing back into the room. The hosts will need to look at this for health reasons, and also to preserve the freshly painted, white interiors. Aside from this everything was wonderful.
- Tania (10/5): Enjoyable will do again - Close to beach & shops. We try to come every year. It seems the property have changed owners? I understand cleaning can be hard to maintain but property wasn’t 100% cleaned.
- Rosina (10/5): Enjoyed the Cottage on the beach - The cottage was perfect for my family. The bach had all the necessities for a comfortable stay. Loved That we did not need to bring anything but our clothes and food. Kitchen was full equipped. Bedrooms full bedding supplied and towels included. spa was amazing. The huge field was amazing for my lilttle one to explore. Enjoyed our stay thank for having us
- Michael (8/5): Very relaxing - Great location
- Saxson (3/5): Disappointing stay with disappointing facilities, wasn’t worth the money - The kitchen and location - spa was broken on arrival
- spa needed filling up for the one working jet to work, I had to put water in myself then the spa was unusable for the first night because it wasn’t hot
- thick dust under beds in bedrooms
- dirt and grime on surfaces
- cob webs coming off ceilings
- doors not structurally secure (difficult to lock and weak old doors)
- host ignored when we required help with broken spa
- Beverly (3/5): Poor -
- Gill (4/5): Disappointing -
- Kylie (10/5): Relaxing property, excellent amenities and beautiful ocean views complemented by a fabulous hot tub - This beautiful property is nestled in a peaceful area with exceptional views of the ocean. High-quality neutral furnishings enhance the serenity, complemented by a wonderfully relaxing hot tub and a cosy open fireplace. Definitely an amazing relaxing getaway. Highly recommend! Loved everything!
- Roger (9/5): Superb -
- Phil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matt (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simon (7/5): Good - Location was great - short drive to town, across the road from the beach. The grassy field and birds kept my daughter fully occupied. It was also great to sit in the jacuzzi and relax after a long day of walking Responsiveness was lacking. The email from Booking.com contained a contact for issues who took >8hrs to respond, although we found a different contact in the guidebook at the property who took a couple of hours to respond. Compared to other places we've stayed the coffee pods/jam/honey etc was lacking - perfect for a one-night stay but we'd booked for 3 nights...
- Jackson (9/5): Superb -
- Linda (10/5): Great place to stay with family or friends - The location is fantastic, only 5 minutes drive from Apollo Bay and beach access directly across the road. It also has its own little dam, playground and grass area to hang out at. It is a bit squashy in the living room with the dining area being an extension to the island bench. But to be honest we spent most of our time out or outside of which there is plenty of room and seating so it wasn't an issue
- Chesterman (8/5): Very good -
- Cathy (10/5): Such a beautiful place to stay. Felt very relaxed, content and chilled. Would highly recommend Serenity be the Sea. Cert - Everything. Just perfect Had everything we needed.
- Shujia (10/5): Awesome! - Very clean, exceptional appliances, modern decor as seen in pictures. The instructions were clear and detailed. Fireplace was wonderful in the cold weather with lots of firewood provided. Jacuzzi , bbq and board games were good to have! There was also leftover cooking condiments which was thoughtful. The location was also awesome- 5 mins to town and beach/pier. There was also a wonderful playground and pond within the compound. Perhaps a coat hanger in every room. Good for a small family as there was only one bathroom.
- Ian (9/5): 😊 loved it - Fire
Jacuzzi
The serenity🤣 Issue with no email about the key safe … but easily solved
- Victoria (10/5): Peaceful stay in a well equipped cabin with a ready to go hot tub. Highly recommended! - Wonderful house with everything you would need for your stay & less than 5 min to town. Lovely decor, clean and comfortable with the bonus of a hot tub. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day stay & would highly recommend the property to friends & family. Thank you! A roll of paper towels in the kitchen would be great for clean ups.
- Marcella (6/5): Pleasant - The location was great. It was only a few steps to the beach and so close that you could hear the waves from the house. You can see the sunrise standing on the back porch so this was fantastic. Even though we didn't get time to cook, the kitchen facilities were excellent. The lounge area was very comfortable as were the beds. The bedroom with the two single beds had not been vacuumed or dusted. There were items on the floor and there was a lot of dust under the beds and the bedhead. This was vacuumed because we couldn't wait until the next morning to have it cleaned. We were looking forward to using the jacuzzi but the water in it was dirty and there was sand on the bottom. The glass enclosure was covered with cobwebs. We couldn't use the outdoor furniture because it was covered with bird droppings.
- Merilyn (5/5): Nice location and so comfy bed - The bed and shower Spa took two days to heat up so didn’t use it. Outdoor area was dirty and infested by spider webs Needs better signage to find the cottage
- Florio (1/5): Bad - The location was good We paid to use the iaguzzi spa and we found it broken upon arrival. Same for the dishwasher. Despite us calling the owners Karen and Alex straight away they did not send anyone to check for the utilities. I found extremely disappointing that they first agree to issue us a refund and then stopped message us all at once. They ruined our 5 yrs anniversary...we booked the house 1 yr ago and it was extremely disappointing.
- Kobus (9/5): Excellent cottage by the sea - Very stylish
Well stocked kitchen Nothing
- Brenlena (10/5): Fantastic place to stay, our first time here but definitely not the last. - The spa was the best, great area walk across the road to the beach and the cottage was so cosy with great appliances. Only the weather 😔
- Dale (9/5): we had a great stay - perfect location , lovely property ,very comfortable beds.
hot tub was great when weather was a bit cold
- Blake (10/5): Exceptional - Great facilities and location
- Iryna (9/5): Superb -
- Ka (10/5): Exceptional - The house decor is aesthetic, loves the candles and giant mirror. The house is not too big, but makes it cozy and comfortable for a family road trip. The woodfire heating is a plus, and the hot spa tub is superb. The house seems to be built on a tilted land, it makes me feel a bit dizzy like stepping in those illusionary display and takes a while to adapt.
- Matthew (8/5): Lovely place - Super cozy place and close to beach! Wish the temperature of the spa could be set higher. Middle of winter with the top off rapidly cools the spa
- Bianca (8/5): Nice and relaxing for a quick weekend away. - Loved the open fire and jacuzzi. Recliner lounge was also very comfortable and relaxing. Nice and close to town and the beach. Was nice to hear the ocean from inside and out. Didn't realize how close we were to a main road. The traffic was noisy at times and not very private when hopping in and out of the jacuzzi. Also, a shelter over the jacuzzi would have been great as it rained a lot while we were there.
- Sange (10/5): Exceptional - Location was amazing, and the comfy feel to the house with internal fireplace and wood provided was such a lovely touch.
- Marissa (10/5): Will definitely return frequently. New short getaway location - Amazing location. Fantastic facilities and very very comfortable. The open fire and the jacuzzi were just icing on top Nothing!
- Jennsmit91 (9/5): Superb - Beautiful property, great views. All the comforts of home in a modern beach/country feel. The spa, plumbed fridge with ice and water, recliners added the touch of luxury to our anniversary getaway. We really enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave. The multifunction of the generous kitchen island hosted many puzzles and relaxing activities. Loved the location right across from the marine sanctuary. Personally the beds are a little on the soft side for my own preference, but still enjoyed a comfortable and spacious sleep.
- Richa (10/5): fabulous and comfortable - very comfortable and well equipped cottage. we absolutely loved the jacuzzi, that was the icing on the top.
- Lauren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aisyah (8/5): Great relaxing family getaway - Jacuzzi, fireplace with recliners, location were all amazing. The grounds were beautiful and my son loved running over the grass, playing on the playground and looking at ducks by the pond. it was a lovely getaway for our birthday. The property was not cleaned properly. There was a dead cockroach and centipedes in the bathroom, along with hair and other collections of dirt and I’m not sure what else on the floor that a simple vacuum would have made a big difference. However, if it wasn’t vacuumed then it also makes me question if other cleaning was appropriately performed. I hope it was just the vacuuming that was overlooked.
As I have a young baby who crawls along the floor and puts things in his mouth, it concerned me throughout the stay.
There were also a lot of cobwebs and a couple of spiders in the property.
- Adam (9/5): Superb - everything was great 👍🏼
- Lauren (10/5): Fabulous cottage - We loved everything! The spa, very comfortable king size bed, fireplace, reclining chairs, beautiful view, peaceful and private, amazing shower with great pressure! Styled beautifully. We were a bit dizzy at first as the floor has dropped in some areas. It has been perfectly renovated to reflect this however and we soon got used to it.
- Emily (9/5): Superb -
- Cameron (10/5): Beautiful week - Great location. Clean. Modern. Comfortable and excellent customer service. Can't rave enough. Will stay again if in the area.
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kereana (10/5): Exceptional -
