Guest Reviews

• Sarah (10/5): -
• Julie (5/5): Clean , brilliant location , bare essentials . - Great location , spotlessly clean . Some more bits and pieces would have been helpful . A frypan , some sugar for hot drinks , a shelf in the shower so as not to have to use things off the floor
• Hector (7/5): - The location is convenient and the studio is very spacious with a nice bathroom. Good beds. The kitchen has almost no equipment. Only microwave and toaster. The information of the property is confusing. There is an upstairs and a downstairs to be rented separately and the pictures and descriptions are mixed.
• Paul (10/5): Very nice - Clean and neat had all that we needed . Nothing
• Finn (1/5): -
• Nijina (4/5): - We liked that it was spacious and close the lake/ beach 1.Upstairs was very very noisy 2.The booking pictures were misleading as it saud full house. They did not clearly differentiate between the studio and house. We thought we were getting the 3 bedroom for the price! 3.Also didnt know that there wasnt a full kitchen until I messaged a fews days before booking 4. Didn't have wifi for 3 days until they installed on christmas day. 5. No check in instuctions provided. I had to message and ask.
• Sophear (10/5): Everything was great from booking the place and checking in - Such a beautiful property, my family and I had a great little getaway, a perfect place to relax, go for walks and see the scenery
• Love (10/5): -
• Kam (9/5): - Excellent place to stay with all the facilities that we need to start the Great Ocean Road trip. No communication from the staff before arrival and required to call the emergency number to check in.
• John (9/5): Superb - Great location The staff had prepared well. It was spacious with excellent facilities
• P (7/5): Good -
• Svetoslava (10/5): Exceptional - Very well furnished, spacious spaces and big terraces. Nice view. Comfortable beds. Had a great time.
• Wayne (5/5): Modern and looks nice but next to no facilities . The lack of comms fr the host was a shocker! - What breakfast? No communication/contact from host even upon repeated attempts to get in touch. No hair dryer, no instructions on how to get keys, only found it by chance..i didnt get the Diggs, ended up downstairs at the studio..no ability to dry swimmers as there is no sun nor drying facilities. Room downstairs was not sound proof and could hear footsteps fr tenants upstairs until they went to sleep after midnight..not ideal when you have young kids needing quiet time.
• Liz (10/5): Exceptional - Loved everything about this location and property. Needed a fan or aircon for ventilation in second bedroom and main bathroom! Other than that was fantastic
• Aaron (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shamila (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (1/5): This property is not suitable as a holiday let. - The location wasn't bad, being walking distance from the beach. That was about it. This property is not suitable as a holiday let. There are two properties - the apartment upstairs and the studio below. The blurb on booking.com is misleading as the pictures focus on the apartment. However, when we came to book there was no clear warning that we were actually allocated the studio. We felt that this was dishonest at best. But here's why we think the studio should NOT be rented out as a stand alone property. There is ZERO soundproofing between the two properties. We could hear everything - conversations, people moving about, stomping, music....everything. In addition, the groups in the main house were partying and enjoying themselves until 1am / 2am every night and we had to resort to banging on the connecting door to ask them to keep the noise down so we could sleep. The people in the main house had obvously paid a lot of money to enjoy themselves, so it was unfair on all of us that we were put in this position. If it weren't for this, we would be prepared to overlook the other negative aspects (front porch that hasn't been swept in months, dirty windows, no hot plate for cooking in the otherwise large kitchen, TV not working and wifi unreliable). However, the noise issue made the stay the most exhausting and fraught holiday we have had since backpacking as students.
• Hoe (6/5): Pleasant -
• Tony (1/5): MISLEADING AND DECEIVING ADVERTISING - Misleading and Deceitful Advertising. The beds were comfortable and had a clean modern bathroom. Misleading and Deceiving advertising. We booked "The Diggs" as advertised and as an "Entire Family Home". We did not book the "Studio Diggs", which is a Cold, Bare, Garage that has been converted into a simple studio room. There was no option to choose The Diggs, Studio Diggs or entire House - it was only one option - THE Diggs and as the entire house. WHAT WE GOT - a TV that never worked. Barely worked for more than 2-3 minutes without stalling and at times will not connect for hour-a. Wifi never worked. The kitchen is actually a Butlers Pantry - smallest/cheapest bar fridge that turned on/off constantly - so we used our esky with ice. There was no cook top, no sandwich press/grille, nothing to cook with. There were no plates. There was a cheap plastic Salad Bowl. Set with 3 serving Bowls (one was broken). On arrival, the key box would not work and once we called reception and realised what we got, we complained instantly! The Reception is at the Anglesea Riverside Motel and managed by The Great Ocean Road Resort. She checked the Booking App and also agreed it's misleading, however told us, Booking.Com is a 3rd party advertising and not really their problem. However, the resort offered a 3 bedroom 70s style stale unit at the motel or stay one night and find another place - we were about to cancel the holiday. We decided to just stay and put up with the mess. The reception did mentions it's the first time anyone has complained - well checking the reviews, since January 2024, there are 4-5 negative reviews about being mislead. Obviously they are either not reading the reviews or blatant dishonest. NOW THE NOISE - You can hear every footstep, loud bangs from items dropped, toilet flushed or taps running, children screaming etc. We woke up a few times during the nights. Surely there is a compliance requirement for accommodations. No soundproofing!
• Jeff (8/5): Very good -
• Sarah (9/5): Superb - Plenty of room, really comfy beds! No one was around when we tried to check in. Key safe didn't work, no one answered number provided, and I had to follow cleaner who eventually managed to find a key, almost an hour after we arrived.
• Michaela (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean. Easy check in
• Ahmad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Veronica (10/5): Great place for a family - Beautifully designed and so spacious Nothing. Would be nice to have a dryer and milk included since coffee was included.
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ramona (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vin (8/5): Very good -
• Rutendo (8/5): Will definitely visit again - Clean and beautiful accommodation Bed needed more warmth like a heating blanket
• Henry (8/5): Very good -
• Justin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Goputhas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jeremy (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyed the stay in the property and would definitely recommend and use it again - Location; layout; comfort Limited cooking utensils - pots/pans No tea towels, sponges, etc. to tidy up during an extended stay. A Sun umbrella is needed on the top deck to enable full utilisation of that great space during the day.
• Katrina (6/5): Pleasant - Location was perfect! Can walk to beach, restaurants, cafe and Anglesea river! Good, fast response communication with host.. Beds were sooo comfy! It is very deceiving when described as whole house when it was just the bottom floor.. Also some cutlery in the drawer was dirty and sticky.. We quickly rewashed so not a massive deal.. Also water pressure in shower was not great..
• Melanie (4/5): Disappointing - Great location and can use other facilities It's nice for a small getaway but was disappointed that we only had bottom level, it should specify that it's top and bottom level not say house. We could also hear every foot step up stairs while trying to sleep. Other then that it's a cute place and great location
• Angela (7/5): Good - Good location, well fitted out /set up and lovely and clean. Staff really helpful in resolving a maintenance issue. Very very noisy from apartment above.
• Jamie (5/5): Passable - I liked the open plan but was disappointed that the there was no cooktop. I could hear the people upstairs walking around which is very loud and extremely annoying since there is nothing to deaden the noise of the sub floor. It woke up me and family up quite a few times during the night and day when we tried to get a little snooze in before our next activity.
• Elardus (10/5): really enjoyed the stay in a quality home - Spacious, close to restaurants, shops, river, beach not a biggie but a better quality pan for making breakfast would be great.
• 李向楠 (10/5): Exceptional -
