Upon arrival, my husband had to clean the barbecue before cooking our dinner, one of the blinds fell off the window and the hot water ran out but it was the bedding on offer that was the biggest disappointment. Not one mattress was comfortable and even the kids asked to sleep on the couch. The location was good and we fell in love with Barwon Heads. We will definitely be back but not to Veuve cottage.
we enjoyed our stay , property was a bit weathered old , location 14 min walk to main strip. the property didnt supply any soap for showering or shampoo , also propety needed a good clean , plates in the cupboards were dirty , cob webs in most rooms, kitchen sink had spiders in it . barbeque was filthy , we had to clean the house for a couple of hours before we enjoyed our stay . if nyou going to charge those prices it needs to b at least clean . very dusty , pillow cussion were all stained . couldnt use the waldrobe in one room to much rubish in it . house also smelt of closure . this property needs maintaining , sorry would not recomend it to others
The property was perfect for our family getaway, my children, their partners and grandchildren. Perfect location, plenty of room, 2 living areas great. Outdoor areas great and very well equipped kitchen. Would love to come back next year.
Great space for families with a beautiful front lounge room, a great kid-friendly rear living area, many beds and two great private and enclosed spaces in the front and back yard, one with a nice firepit. Both yard spaces safe for young kids as they can be closed off with gates. The Veuve in the kitchen is a sight to behold!
We had some minor cleanliness issues that I think may just have been missed and will be fixed for the next guests. We also found that the high chair in the listing wasn't there, but on enquiring Marisa had one delivered to us in under an hour on Christmas Eve no less! Amazing service.
A note that we didn't quite find the room configuration as we expected, but we may have misread the listing. For clarity, there are two queen beds, two pairs of single bunk beds, a single bed and a fold out couch.
Overall a great place for our two young families, would stay again.
Fantastic house for families (and multiple families) to stay together. Great space, inside and out, for kids to play. The gated driveway ensures you always know they are safe.
Plenty of room for grown ups to relax and socialise when the kids are napping/sleeping.
Everything was easy and made for a great long weekend.
Great location to enjoy with family and fur family
This humble abode met all our needs as a family of 7. It was comfortable and location was in a lovely spot. It helped having the two bathrooms and had plenty of space for our fur baby to play. We were also able to have our cars and motobikes secured behind gates. Bowan Heads itself is a beautiful place to explore and we would definitely come back again.
The property was ideal for the size of our group and our large but gentle dog. Marisa was communicative and accommodating with arranging linen at short notice and also in allowing us a late check out which we appreciated. All the facilities that we needed were present in the house.
Our family had a lovely break in this beautiful house. Well equipped with everything you could need (& more!). Cozy by the fire - inside & outside! We will definitely be back!
Great place to stay with a group and would easily stay here again.
Need to be aware no complimentary toiletries provided so pack your soap. Also doonas are more summer weight ones. Fire pit was well used. Great place if youâve packed for it. Will easily go back again.
A large, child-friendly back area. Front area has a kind of old-Melbourne tiki chic. It's much better than it look on the website. The owner is super-helpful.
Veuve Cottage is in a great location in Barwon Heads but could be improved by providing a few more basic supplies in the kitchen and bathrooms so you don't have to go to the IGA to buy soap, sugar and coffee for your weeks stay.
Other than that we had a lovely time.
This is the 4th time that we have stayed at Veuve and so in itself that should be a solid recommendation to others. This is a non pretentious, comfortable, very functional holiday home (not really a holiday shack, but has the same chilled vibe that a shack would). Good location away from the hustle of the main street, secure fencing with lots of off street parking space, and a well stocked kitchen. We stay each year with 2 children and 2 dogs and are invariable joined by grandparents for a few days too. 3 generations under one roof very comfortably, with ample space to come together and unwind in one of my favourite areas in Australia. Highly recommended for a relaxed family holiday.
Thank you so much Kristiana, your home was fantastic. It had everything we needed and more! It was exceptionally clean and the beds very comfortable.
The two living spaces were great, with the kids loving the Wii and Netflix whilst the adults could relax in the other lounge area. We spent a lot of time in the great outdoor space having BBQâs and cooking marshmallows on the fire. The tennis courts where also a hit directly opposite. Our dog loved the park across the road for her morning walk and we enjoyed the quick stroll into Barwon Heads for our coffee. Such a great location. We will definitely be back!
The house is clean with lots of space.It has a fabulous outdoor area and is very private. It is walking distance to the beach and shops. We would love to stay again!
We loved our short getaway, fantastic spot, opposite beautiful walking dog friendly trails tennis, and amazing playground/skate parks for kids. A short walk into town has great restaurants. Ideal location, but don't forget the aeroguard!!!
Perfect spot, walking distance to shops, cafes & beach. Outdoor entertainment area with fire pit... great for chilly nights. Be sure to bring aeroguard, mozzies are relentless...
A perfect location for a catch up with family. Lots of space and close to facilities. Outdoor entertaining area was much enjoyed. Great park across the road for the kids. Easy, friendly and quick communication with hosts. Definitely recommend this property. Thank you to hosts.
