This house was fantastic for what we required, amazing area upstairs and the outside area is perfect. We didn’t use the games room but it would be fantastic if you had teenagers. Communication with the owner was great. Cannot fault this wonderful property.

Great holiday beach home
Great place. First impressions was lovely place, lovely decor, lovely touches. Everything impressed us with this place. We forgot our bogey boards ... they had them. We forgot to bring beach chairs ... they had them. And we remember most of the other stuff (aeroguard, sun screen, etc. etc.) ... but they had it just in case. Fabulous place for a week stay. Beach, cafes, restaurants, river, ... will definitely stay again!

This is our second time staying here and I didn't think it could get better! The attention to detail is amazing. The house is beautiful and communication couldn't be better. All beds are extremely comfortable, the outdoor deck is beautiful and the games room is great fun. Highly recommended this place 😃

A majestic holiday!
A royal experience was had when we stayed at Karen's lovely property. We were simply in awe of the amazing house, living spaced and views. Was absolutely wonderful to get away and relax on the castle on the hill. We abandoned our plans to go out for dinner and stayed in because it was just too cozy to leave. Thank you so much Karen. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic family beach house
This property was amazing. Large and spacious and well provisioned. There are amazing view form the top level across Ocean Grove all the way to Barwon Heads...awesome on a balmy summer evening. It has an amazing entertaining area and a games room for the kids. Communication and check in was quick and easy. It is on the edge of town, but its still a very short drive to the main street. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing holiday house
Karen’s holiday house in ocean grove was by far the best experience, it was in great location! The holiday house had everything and more than we expected, I couldn’t fault anything. It was a large area that was amazing to relax with some friends with. I’ll definitely be booking here again and couldn’t recommend a better place to be staying! Check in was super easy as well and Karen answered any questions needed!
