Beautiful property
We had a relaxing weekend away. The property is large and well catered. The beds and linen were comfortable and good quality. And the views were amazing, we would definitely stay again. The check in was slightly confusing with an email form that needed to be completed prior to arrival, but couldn’t be submitted due to a technical problem. All sorted once we collected the key from the property agent.

Suits older families
Really lovely property, clean and well set up inside with everything you could need, as per all the other reviews here. My only concern would be the stairs. There's 4 levels at this property, the master bedroom is on the ground floor, garage & 2 bedrooms on level 2, lounge on level 3 and kitchen/dining on level 4. My family are older, so we were fine, but it makes for a long walk from top to bottom. Also, the front balcony was filthy, covered in sticks, leaves and crusted on bird poo. It was clear it hadn't been cleaned in weeks. It had the best views but was unusable for us, even after we swept and mopped it ourselves.

Close to beaches and dog-friendly
Polly's View is a great place to stay with a group of friends! Also v dog-friendly so if you've got a pup with you, I highly recommend staying here. Upon arrival we got a care package, and amenities were more than was expected! Checking in/out instructions were very easy to follow too. Thanks again for having us!

Wonderful!
We will be back! Very happy with this accomodation. Great location for us - but be aware it is a 15/20 minute walk (not all of which is flat) into the main centre. There are beaches across the road. A very well equiped kitchen - thank you! Easy after hours check in. Lots of space for a family of 5. Lots of stairs so probably not suitable for toddlers or elderly. On the main road into town so some might find it noisy.

Fantastic Property!
Polly's View was a lovely place to stay. It's very well appointed with many unexpected extras including a great espresso machine that makes great lattes, every piece of kitchen equipment you could ever need, although the kitchen knives need sharpening, great technology, TV's with Foxtel & Netflix and it even had 2 dog food bowls and a pooper scooper for our furry family member. The place is clean & bright and very well laid out with tasteful artworks & interesting nick-nacks. It was truly a home away from home and like staying in someone's actual residence. Very highly recommended & we will be back, I'm sure. The owners should be congratulated. Well Done Guys!

Great house in good location
The house was great for a family/group as there are several areas that people can relax in. Modern kitchen appliances as well as many other mod cons supplied. Our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed the off leash beach (Bagnalls) which was right across the road from the house. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.

Severe water damage
While at first look the property presents well, however this quickly changed. This place needs extensive repairs. When the rain came it came inside, running down the walls, leaking through the skylights. This caused me to fall on to the stairs where I slipped down and hurt myself. The water caused flooding in the master bedroom creating concern when having to get my phone charger from the water damaged wall and power outlet. The curtains and walls have clear evidence of mould. To spend out vacation cleaning and managing the water damage is not relaxing and we are very disappointed for the amount we spent.

Thoroughly recommended
We had a lovely time staying at Polly's View with our dog. The house is very clean, modern and well-appointed. A short walk to Bagnall's Beach. Netflix and Foxtel available. What made the difference though, were the little details often missing in holiday rentals, eg enough kitchen towels, serviettes, toiletries, a scourer to wash dishes, dishwashing tablets, remote controls that actually work! A lovely welcome pack with snacks and wine even! Made for a very pleasant experience.

Great property at a great location
The property was fantastic and had everything we needed. It was very clean and had a great layout. The check in service was difficult. We had to attend a key hub and use an iPad & locker system that was faulty. The phone numbers listed for assistance didn’t work and we wasted an hour trying to return the key on our day of departure. It’s a shame that the house itself is great but the check in service was so frustrating
