Guest Reviews

• Xenia (5/5): - It was clean I don’t realise we’d be sharing with someone we didn’t know.
• Robert (10/5): -
• Pavel (9/5): - Stu is very good person. Everything is good, good big kitchen for use. Clean bathroom. U need to share everything with other guest and hosts. Table, bathroom, backyard. It's little bit uncomfortable.
• Simone (9/5): - Tolles Haus mit viel Platz... Küche kann mit benutzt werden Ich finde die Preise hier in Australien für Zimmer mit Gemeinschaftsbad einfach zu teuer
• Bob (9/5): Only stayed 1 night but would definitely book again in the future. - Hosta were very approachable and helpful, Shared facilities - everything we needed. Quiet location.
• Marie (10/5): -
• Lorraine (10/5): Highly recommend. Super place, very nice host. - We immediately felt at home here. Lovely home, spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds, spacious rooms, felt very welcomed by Stu. Enjoyed the tennis in the evening in their cosy lounge. Nice casual breakfast, yoghurt,fruit,seeds and toast. Nothing at all
• RICARDO (10/5): - Elisa y Stuar son unos anfitriones estupendos
• Mark (10/5): - Easy to find, great location, fantastic host.
• Pauline (10/5): Had a wonderful ( but sadly very short stay)! Stu was incredibly welcoming ! Highly reccomend! -
• Robyn (9/5): A very comfortablle and welcoming place to stay with a generous breakfast included. - Very comfortable and welcoming place to stay. Stu and Lisa are generous and knowledgeable hosts with helpful local info. Overall - a great place to stay. We enjoyed interacting with our hosts/other guests - this is a ‘homestay’ style accommodation so if you want your own bathroom/facilities then choose a motel or hotel instead.
• Barry (10/5): -
• Pieter (9/5): - gastvrijheid faciliteiten en ontbijt niks
• Fayez (1/5): I didn’t stay at the property. - I cancelled the booking, the person in charge at the property advised that he will recommend a full refund. I don’t receive any refund, that was a big lie. The bed room and the bathroom was not quite good enough.
• Jill (9/5): Perfect. We only needed a bed to sleep in - Good communication. Easy access. Quiet location close enough to everything. Easy downhill walk to the beach A bedside table or something on the side of the bed would be handy A sensor light at the front door. May have had one that someone had accidentally turned off.

• Steve (10/5): Wonderful hosts provide an excellent stay - The stars of this property are the hosts Stu and Lisa, who do a fantastic job and really go out of their way to ensure that their guests have a good experience. The home is immaculate and has an indoor guest TV lounge and an outdoor area for eating and drinking in warmer weather than experienced during my stay. There is also a nice communal dining area where guests can socialise both in the evening and at breakfast. After returning from his morning swim in the ocean, Stu even put on bacon and eggs (but this was a bonus and is not contractual). But it shows his level of commitment to his guests, whom he seems to genuinely enjoy meeting and talking to. The only fault I could find and I know this is being a bit picky when there is a TV lounge but the rooms do not have TVs. These days, this is almost an expectation and TVs are so cheap these days that it is surprising that you have not yet installed them. Sometimes it is just nice after a long day or early in the morning to have half an hour flopped out on your bed watching something on TV rather than being in a shared TV lounge with strangers around.
• Peter (10/5): Great night stay. - Tidy, handy to shops but off the main road so quiet. Stu was very helpful. Nothing
• Xavier (10/5): -
• Matthew (10/5): -

• Paul (8/5): I would go there again. - Very comfortable Na
• Oliver (10/5): Best place in Torquay - Stu and Lisa were brilliant hosts and their home is very warm and accommodating.
• Brian (8/5): -
• Astara Yoyoe (10/5): A lovely, peaceful home-share with lovely hosts - Beautiful room and home. Very kind and interesting hosts. Good location. V Line coach bus is a ten minute walk away. Breakfast available at the home. Wonderful hosts and a great affordable stay in Torquay.
• cara (9/5): -
• Britt Rosella (9/5): Ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt in Torquay! - Wir buchten die Unterkunft spontan am selben Tag für eine Übernachtung, der Check-In war unkompliziert und der Gastgeber sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer und das Badezimmer waren sehr sauber, generell wirkte das ganze Haus, in dem auch der Gastgeber wohnt, sehr freundlich und hell. Die Lage ist ideal, nur wenige Meter zum Meer und netten Restaurants. Sehr zu empfehlen, danke!

• Lean (10/5): -

• Oleg (10/5): - All is good, the hostess spent about 20 minutes helping me to talk Australian English to speak with a rent a car office about rent extension All be ready to communicate
• Susanne (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay in Torquay!!! Exceptional!!!
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mitchell (9/5): Superb -
• Sandra (6/5): Pleasant -
• Russell (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts were very friendly.
• Charles (8/5): Highly recommended - stay here if you're in Torquay! - Just a really nice place and nice people. If you're after an excluded, silent, faceless hotel, this isn't it. This feels much more like a traditional Bed and Breakfast, in someone's house. The people couldn't have been nicer - super welcoming. Room was lovely. I didn't use the kitchen much as I was leaving really early, but it had everything there that you'd need. Nothing, it was ace.
• Hannah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (7/5): Good -
• Deborah (8/5): Very lovely stay. - Very friendly hosts. Happy to provide us with breakfast, which was lovely. Good comfortable bed!! Nothing

• Cerrita (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ria (9/5): Superb -
• Allen (10/5): Comfortable stay with good hosts and a nice omelette for breakfast ! - Very comfortable Nothing
• Marijana (5/5): Passable - We needed a bed for the night close to where we needed to go. I just felt uncomfortable. We felt like we were back packers living in a dorm. One toilet and bathroom for 6 people. The kitchen needed a good cleaning. While we were told breakfast was included and to help ourselves - no instructions were given. We didn’t know what we could actually take. I appreciate our hosts were probably over it as they were heading overseas, you still need to provide a service. Not leave clothes to dry in common room or hanging over the balcony! No class.
• John (9/5): Superb - Lisa & Stu our hosts were fantastic Only staying 1 night - will visit again for a couple of nights.
• Allyson (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely and quiet room with access to toilet and shower facilities The host even had breakfast available which we didn’t expect. Good value for money if you are passing through the area and needing somewhere cosy and warm to stay for a night
