Great house. Great location.
Karen's place was situated perfectly for us. Not right in the middle of the busyness of Ocean Grove but only a 10 min walk to shops and 15-20 to the main beach. House was clean and really well set up for teens and parents with a well stocked kitchen and nice garden and decking to enjoy the outdoors.

Recharge by the Ocean
A wonderful relaxing 1 week stay in Ocean Grove to recharge after a busy year for grandparents, daughter and 3 yo granddaughter. Close enough to Melbourne for extended family to drop in for a night, Ocean Grove shopping village a 15min walk away and 10min walk to children's playground and Blue Lake walking circuit. Visited local pool, Barwon Heads beach and Geelong durung our stay. House was open and breezy looking out to BBQ deck and lovely cottage garden.Kitchen had all requirements with a full supply of kitchen and laundry supplies and cleaners to maintain durung the week.Thankyou to Karen for welcoming and sharing your homely "home" with us. Definitely on the radar for return visits.

Secluded getaway with the Magpies.
This property is better up close than the online listing leads you to believe. It is open, light, airy and beautifully tasteful. It's setting is lovely in that it looks across to the lake which is a favourite for bird life in the area. The Magpies visiting daily for a bit of mince was an absolute highlight. The property also has a lot more utensils and appliances in the kitchen than most properties we've stayed at which makes it fabulous if you like to cook sometimes while away. Overall, it's a lovely place to stay with a very welcoming owner to tell you how to get the best from it.

Private and Spacious
This property boasts privacy and space with two large living areas, large bedrooms and great entertaining outdoor area. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay and would not hesitate to book this house again. The upstairs loft bedroom has amazing views of the river. Lovely gardens surround with a view from each window, we even had a little possum visit us among the vines. The decking with large table and seating was perfect for BBQ dinners. Thank you Karen for a memorable stay.
