We have stayed at a number of Air BnBs before but this was the most outstanding property we have stayed at. The house is immaculate in both presentation and cleanliness. As described, the styling of the property makes it feel like an overseas holiday and all the appliances are state of the art and easy to use. Being a coffee drinker I especially enjoyed the coffee machine. All the beds are extremely comfortable and we had a number of great nights sleep. The house is located in a great area within walking distance to restaurants, cafes and shopping outlets and only a few minute drive to Geelong CBD. The host, Eloise was more than accommodating, arranging early check in and continuing to keep in contact with us making sure our stay was going well and to see if we needed anything. We will definitely come back and stay again and have no issues highly recommending this property to our friends. Thanks again.

I can't speak highly enough about Eloise or her property. The house looked gorgeous in pictures, but was even better in person - it is beautifully decorated to create a peaceful, serene atmosphere, and there were so many thoughtful touches (makeup wipes for your use, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, Netflix account logged in, parking permit). Eloise was so responsive and accommodating, and gave us local recommendations. I would very highly recommend booking with her.

Eloise and Sam were fantastic hosts - super quick to reply and really welcoming. They’ve done such a great job renovating their beautiful old girl! The house is gorgeous, comfy and really well equipped with everything you could need. I booked for two nights but ended up staying four! It’s in great spot - an easy walk to Pakington St with heaps of cafes and great food and fantastic green grocer. Parking is on-street but a permit is supplied. The yard was safe and perfect for my fur baby. I’d love to keep this little gem a secret, but it’s too good not to share. Highly recommend and we’ll be back!

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful house. Everything was perfect and very well thought out including a kitchen well stocked with appliances and cooking equipment. The neighbourhood felt safe and quiet whilst still being really close to restaurants and a great fresh grocery store.

This place is beautifully decorated and a lot of pride put into it, lots of little things to make your stay feel right at home with a luxurious feel of a high end hotel. Our pup loved it too.
