“Exceptional view for price”
+Incredible view and good value for money! Also dog-friendly! Woukd stay again for the price.
−The driveway is very steep and it is easy for your car to slide around while reversing down - it would be ideal if the owners fully cemented the drive to avoid this issue. The gravel on the walk down to the front door was slippery and could be an issue for those unsteady on their fit/prone to falls. The whole place could do with a deep clean (e.g. cobwebs)

“The house offers a nice getaway which of could be improved with some more attention to the needs of guests.”
−The driveway was scary No wifi and no phone reception was dangerous particularly when a tree fell nearby blocking the exit No basics like soap, long life milk etc was disappointing given the general store was closed

“Overall good value for money- also I think the cleaners should check the dishes have been washed properly- stained cups”
−The driveway was too steep and the car was struggling to make up the driveway - loose gravel made it hard

“We would like to come back, but suggest the owners find a new management agent.”
+The view from the deck was spectacular. The home was simple but met all our needs and expectations.
−It was not clear that you had to pick up keys in Lorne. We got to the property (after 3 hours driving with car sick kids) and tried to use the pin provided to open the key box. When we called Great Ocean Road Properties for support, we reached an offshore call centre, and were redirected to pick up keys in Lorne. It also wasn’t clear that we had to return keys in Lorne at 10am. We thoroughly cleaned and vacated the property at 10am intending to enjoy a day in Wye River, only to discover we had to race back to Lorne to avoid being charged an extra night. All in all, this ruined our experience. We also understood that we had to bring linen (an inconvenience, but fine). We understood there to be 2 double beds, and we brought double linens. When going to make the beds, we realised they were queen and our linen did not fit properly. Again, this should have been clearer.

“Superb”
+The place was very clean and also practical and great views
−The driveway is pretty terrible and the fact a camera from next door is facing straight into the house is not very accommodating.
