6/10 Okay

Lovely views!

The views from this property are lovely and the location is great! Just a short walk to the beach or shops. I was a little disappointed in the house. The floor boards were very noisy and the toilet flush was also very noisy! The back yard was not the best either. The front yard was lovely and big but as there was no gate our dog could not enjoy it. The weather was great for our stay :)

Loved it!

A few minutes walk to the Apollo Bay town center with great views of the beach from out the front verandah, Saltwater Haven was a comfortable and enjoyable stay for us & our dogs.

6/10 Okay

Great location and views

The views from the living areas are really lovely in this house. Also the location is perfect, walking distance to all Apollo Bay has to offer. The accommodation is fairly basic and generally clean. There was no hairdryer which was a bit of a surprise. I agree about a gate for the front garden to allow dogs to be outside while you sit enjoying the views. Considering the price over the Christmas period, we expected a bit more luxury.

8/10 Good

Well located property

It was great to have such a comfortable "dog friendly" property so well located near to the sea and with terrific views. A nice rug in the lounge would help to make this much cosier in the winter. Would also like to see a gate installed at the front entrance to allow even greater freedom for dogs. Would definitely consider for another stay.
