Summer Holiday in Barwon
Very highly recommended. Beautiful home that is incredibly well appointed. Very private and quiet area - however well located to town and the beach, which are both just a short walk away.The home is very well setup with space for larger and smaller groups. We were two couples and plenty of private space.Sallie was very proactive in her communication and check-in and out was seamless.
