A lovely escape in a peaceful, beautiful property.
Pros:

We just returned from a lovely 5 days at Eastern Beach Retreat. The accommodation was just beautiful, clean, tidy and welcoming. Upon arrival we were greeted by Zofia who showed us around the accommodation, she was so welcoming and friendly. We didn't see the hosts again but knew they were only a text message away should we need anything. The studio was private and self-contained close to all the local amenities. Don't think we actually moved the car for 3 days. Plenty of parking too.

Cons:

We noted the comments about the lack of bathroom door but you can't see directly into the bathroom unless you're standing next to the kitchenette but honestly as a married couple it didn't bother us anyway. We're used to a king size bed so the double bed for us was a little small but comfortable nonetheless.

Pros:

Eastern Beach retreat accommodation was very close to everything the beach shopping restaurants and botanical gardens were all in walking distance. The accommodation was perfect for my weekend stay. The bed was comfortable and the shower with the large shower head was excellent. The kitchen net was great for making crumpets for breakfast. It's on a nice quiet street away from the traffic.with lots of lovely cottages to look at on my walks. Thank you to Michael and Zofia. For being lovely hosts. I would gladly stay again I had a very relaxing weekend.

Comfortable and modern in a great location.
Pros:

Great position, exceptionally clean, friendly and welcoming host, modern, comfy bed, secure.

Cons:

It just needed a door on the (beautifully renovated) bathroom and a small couch, although it is a small cottage so that might be tricky.

Pros:

Stunning terrace cottage right near the beach, waterfront activities and city. Modern and stylish. Perfect for a single or couple. After many trips to Geelong for the Festival of Sails, it was lovely to be in a pretty residential area instead of the city grid.

The perfect weekend getaway
Pros:

Perfectly designed for comfort and serenity. A very warm in-person welcome from the host. Very secure with keypad gate entrance and modern lock to the unit. So close to town centre, waterfront and the botanical gardens!

Cons:

Not much! Maybe would have been good to have wifi but it didn’t really affect us to be honest.
