Great location the property was lovely and original on the exterior however very basic on the inside but did the job once we got the heater going 😊

Heritage cottage in as central a location as there is

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is fantastic, we could wander around town on foot at the drop of a hat, but it isn't notably noisy. The online entry reflected the reality well. The courtyard is not huge (pictures show that). There is a small stable slot for car parking which offers shade for most of the car.The cottage is in a complex of buildings dating from the old Criterion Temperance Hotel and so it has quirks of layout but overall it is spacious and comfortable. What is might lack in glitz and spa baths it makes up for with character, insulation and a log fire. The main trade-off is the lack of a great view.The place is tidy and the beds are comfortable - we slept well. Kitchen is quite well supplied and as I carry a 'larder' I didn't care that there is no condiments or cafe supplied. Nice local bathroom soapy stuff.The staff were responsive and polite, no issues there.

A little slice of history and comfort on the coast

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just over the road from the main beach and main street, my partner and I were really impressed with this charming cottage. The weather was cold and wild and the fire place was perfect. The outside area for our two dogs was well protected with high fences and undercover area to have their crates setup for the stay. Highly recommended! We'll be back again :) ps. Do yourself and favour and make a stop in Coonawarra for the wine - Majella was a favourite

Ambient history

We enjoyed our stay in this well located and simple cottage. The items of period furniture added to the sense of history that was embedded in the house, so reflective of Robe itself.

Weekend away

This cottage is in a great location so easy to walk to all the shops and eating places in the main street . The bathroom is up 3 stairs from the bedroom which wasnt suitable for my 87 year old mother . The windows in the dining room are needing a good clean - full of dead flies etc and cobwebs ! This suprised as as the rest of the place clean .
