Avis Lemon Scented Bayview

A clean and tidy beach stay, with all you need and more. Happy to recommend.

Felt like staying in a home not a business. highly recommended

Loved our stay at lemon scented Bayview. Kitchen had everything you need, fireplace was so cosy on a cold night. Short walk to beach or town.

We found the property suitable for what we were looking for. It was within walking distance to the beach and the shops. It was very clean, we had everything that we needed. The owner was very pleasant to communicate with. Yes, we will stay there again next time we intend to visit Portarlington.

From the moment I pulled up I felt a sense of warmth and comfort. There are two lemon scented gum trees at the front and they look spectacular. They smell divine, especially first thing in the morning and they attract wildlife. I spent ages watching various bird life on the lawn and in the trees. When I walked through the house, it smelt lovely and I couldn't believe how clean it was!!!! It's not a modern house. It's retro, with lime green kitchen bench tops and lime green contact lining the kitchen cupboards. The bathroom is like stepping back in time, but I can't stress how clean it is. Clean shower screen; no mould. The living area has loop, beige carpet - it's worn and it's identical in style, color and 'worn-ness' as in the house I lived for 18 years. But one of the things that surprised me the most is how well the house is equipped and stocked. I'd brought my own sharp knife, tongs, salt, pepper, olive oil, tea, coffee because the place I stayed at last Jan had none of these. This house has all this plus more!! I spent a year overseas in 2018 staying in StayZ, Air BnB etc houses. NONE` of the places I've experiences is as well equipped as this one was. And plants. The house has many indoor (and outdoor) plants, all thriving and very well maintained. The decorations are tasteful and interesting. Outside, the backyard is tranquil, large and lovely. Our absolute favourite part was sitting having a coffee in the morning, or a pre-dinner drink in the evening, on the verandah, watching and listening to the wildlife, watching the boats passing by in the distance, and basically relaxing and being grateful for the opportunity to experience such tranquility. Thank you to Sam and Evie who were excellent to deal with (and helped me out immediately when I sadly locked myself out!!). I can't recommend this house enough.

We enjoyed the location, beautiful view out across the You Yangs, extremely quiet and peaceful. We appreciated that the kitchen was extremely well equipped with every piece of equipment you could need - and then some ! Great for entertaining over Christmas. Air Con throughout and nice touches like complimentary wine and chocolates were appreciated. Would definitely stay again. Thankyou !!

Great property, would recommend and stay again

Great place to stay and relax in a quiet part of town close to beach and shops, we will stay again!

Not much to say other than best property have stayed in in years. Everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Good mattress, shower. And so clean, not a special of dust anywhere

Loved the original interior decoration, the view and location. Comfortable, homely and provided games for kids.
