    Birthday celebration 4 women so accomodations were perfect being 3 bedroom two shared. Kitchen lounge dining area great for us. The spa was huge and the absolute highlight on a cold Port Fairy weekend. We were in and out all weekend and at 38 degrees it was great.

    We enjoyed our stay at Dunes. We were two families with young children. All the comforts of home and more. The swim spa was a bonus. Very clean and comfortable. This was our second time at this house (Third time on the property). And we are looking forward to our next visit already.

    Beautiful clean home. My husband and I stayed here in Winter and the gas log fire kept us very warm, comfortably heating the whole house. Lovely large warm indoor swim spa, which we made use of whilst enjoying views of the stormy weather and sunset outside. Very enjoyable stay!

    Great property with plenty of thought gone into all the little things that make a stay really comfortable - plenty of kitchen utensils, sharp knives (!), butter, Vegemite and jam satchels, olive oil in the pantry, block-out blinds in the bedroom, comfortable queen beds, laundry detergent & pegs ... the list goes on! The owners are doing a great job - highly recommend it.

    There were no negative issues

    The accommodation was excellent for the four staying (my wife and I and two female friends). I organised the stay and our two friends were extremely happy with the Dunes. Our friends were used to quality accommodation and thus were able to do an accurate and honest critique.

    Nothing, we loved it all

    Fabulous winter getaway with a great warm and relaxing swim spa, wonderful gas wood fireplace with snuggle blankets on each couch and cozy warm beds. Everything you needed was waiting for us including beach towels for the spa, condiments for breakfast and all the kitchen things you need to cook a great meal. The location was close to town, close to the beach to watch the sunset and did l mention the downstairs bathroom with a two-person spa and wine glass and candle holders!! We had the best getaway.

    Whilst the house was quite clean, there were items that seemed a little sticky, such as tops of tables, but a quick wipe over sorted this out.

    The house was amazing, so big, comfortable and well stocked with equipment in the kitchen. The bed was comfortable, although the pillows were a little hard for my liking, so one was more than sufficient for a good night's sleep. The bathrooms were big and the showers a good size. We loved the rack with the wine glasses over the bath! The spa pool was great - an area at one end for bubbling and relaxing and just enough room for a short swim to the other end. Theodora and Michael were very welcoming, and The Dunes was ideal for sightseeing in Port Fairy and slightly further afield. We really enjoyed our short stay.

    There was no signpost at the start of the lane. The bbq gas bottle was empty so couldn't be used. The gas cooktop ignition didn't work so was initially difficult to use. Suggestion: the gas cooker could be replaced with a portable induction cooktop, Perhaps this could lead to eliminating gas and becoming an all electric house. Walking access to local beaches was difficult .

    The house was clean , well furnished and well laid out and had a friendly atmosphere to it. The dishwasher was excellent. The spa was good.
