2 Bedroom Cottage in Torquay, Torquay Surfcoast

SUMMARY introduction
This is a traditional 1950's retro Holiday unit in gorgeous Torquay. A Great CENTRAL location with 2 b/rooms sleeps 4 . Cute back yard with BBQ .Easy and close Walking distance to beaches, 500 meters to main beach (a touch more to surf beaches ), shops, Torquay pub and cafes.
You're welcome to request to book, but upon request please tell me a little about yourself and who's travelling with you so that I know whom is staying or feel free to ask questions via a booking REQUEST.
(On occasions I will have instant book turned on, but not always )
I also ask that you must tell me if PETS are coming? As I do have pet rules so you need to accept and agree to house rules on pets ?
And that your happy to clean property on departure ( as i dont automatically charge a clean fee ) and to agree to follow all other house rules ?
If you by chance forget to inform me I will send you a message to request this .
MY PROPERTY is Located in the traditional part of Torquay, called "Old Torquay " this is an old but sweet traditional, very retro Holiday Unit in a lovely location and bonus is PETS are allowed as long as you notify me in booking and asure my pet rules are followed.
This was one of the FIRST set of units built in Torquay in 1950 , so it's quite an antique !!!
Close to both the MAIN and SURF beaches, cafes , shops, and Torquay pub. On Sundays you can even hear the relaxing funky music from Torquay pub
I have a MIN 2 night stay , 3or 4 Night at Easter and 5/7 nights Xmas period .
My belief is better to explain more than less and be as honest as i can with my description below . The bond amount allocated on property will only be collected AFTER checkout IF a need or major problem .
THE SPACE
The property itself is NOT modern , it is more an old Gem , very old school .
Basic no frills, a little antique, and a step back in time .
If you PREFER new modern with just a touch of simple furniture then this may not suit you as my place is more a home away from home.
There are many gorgeous modern built/ renovated places / hotels in torquay you can also choose, so I'd rather you be happy and look around rather than rate me low stars because you didn't read my very honest description of knowing its an old traditional place or look through pictures. But If your happy for imperfection I would love you to book and enjoy its charm.
It's full of homely useful goodies as per description .I would describe it as .... "it has more than less " yet very clean and tidy INSIDE.
SORRY no WiFi on property.
Not disabled friendly as it has 3 steps at front , 2 step at back .
Please consider that an old building with its wallpaper, 1950's old cupboards etc...V's clean is very different.
The pictures of inside are exactly how it is set up and will look as you walk in , though it's hard to show " old " so please don't expect perfection and you won't be disappointed.
My wooden floors have had a good dose of summer love n fun !!
I supply most things a home would have including linen and towels and a few little things on welcome for your first night , such as tea ,coffee sugar, butter, long life milk, juice water, sweet treats , tissues and toilet paper .Along with shampoo , body wash , hand wash ,tooth brush, paste,shower caps and shavers if you by chance forget yours .
There is washing powder, tea towels ,bath mat ,beach towels, bath towels, Linen , doonas, blankets etc..
It has 2 bedrooms and sleeps 4 comfortably depending on your sleeping configuration.
One room has Double bed , one room has 2 single beds.
All beds have electric blankets on for winter MONTHS ONLY, they are removed in Summer.
One room has a double bed with a KOALA brand mattress , 2nd bedroom has 2x single beds (you could move them together if you prefer to sleep closer)
For bubs i have a HIGH CHAIR booster seat , can be attached to chair or sit on floor, and a PORTA COT with linen (these all under double bed) perfect for small family stays.
Is child friendly, but not child proof or child safe as I DO NOT have child locks on any utilities or cupboards for active toddles.
All rooms have large ceiling fans (used with remote, in each room on wall )
The 2nd bedroom also has a TV which plays dvds only as NO antenna PLUS has an old time VIDEO player with LOADS of classic kids videos ( great for kids quiet time , after long day at beach and play )
There is a CD/radio player , board games , toys, doll house in cupboard , cards ,colouring books, puzzle books for all ages as well as books to read . There are boogie boards (please replace boogie boards if lost or broken ) and lots of out door beach and ball games( under single bed) beach toys in bin outside .
It has a cosy lounge room with open kitchen which is a little old fashioned RE the 1950's cupboards and the kitchen has all things like home plus microwave and washing machine .
Bathroom is not large , has small Shower and an old fashioned large Laundry tub , rather than a small vanity, which we prefer as its a great size for washing out swimmers and wet suits so hence have left as laundry tub style rather than a modern small vanity basin !!
Has small separate toilet .
Has small cute closed in safe back yard, family child and pet friendly and large open front garden area ( pictures are showing yard so you can assess re pets , please DONT FORGET to inform me re pets ?? )
Doona's , pillows and extra blankets are supplied, tea towels and a bath mat , bath and beach towels and linen , BUT feel FREE to bring your own Linen and towels if you prefer( mine can be folded n left in cupboard)
Re PETS : and pet RULES
I am happy to have inside but PLEASE remove my furniture throws and ANY blankets to avoid hair on and bring own .
Pets are ideally NOT allowed up on furniture or sleeping on my throws ,and definitely not allowed in/ on beds for sleeping ...and the property must be extra cleaned PLEASE and all pet hair removed from floors, , furniture tops , rugs , cushions etc..I have a vacume in cupboard to use for this .
If you know your pet does sneak up on furniture PLEASE bring own throws to cover . Or sneaks up on bed at night while you sleep PLEASE bring and use your OWN Linen , Doona , doona cover, blankets , throws etc instead of mine. Please clean garden area of droppings , and if holes dug PLEASE fix !! thankyou in advance.
CLEANING
I DO NOT add on an extra cleaning fee or pet fee , saving you this added cost so all i request is that you leave as CLEAN neat and tidy as it was when you arrived... A a simple 15/ 20 min should do it nicely .
If not then a $120 clean fee( and $80 pet fee) will be charged .
Arrival time generally 2pm and check out time about 11 am . I will always offer early check in and late check out when I can complimentary.
No SCHOOLIES, NO PARTIES and please inform me re PETS if you bring.
CARE and HOUSE friendly RULES
All i ask is that you Please look after property and furniture and leave the house tidy, neat and cleaned, especially re pets therefore left exactly as it was when you arrived .
Lost or damaged Linen/ towels will be under bond claim .
Make sure all taps turned off TIGHT and lights off, fans off , heater/air con off .
Electric blankets OFF.
Smoking , please do out side ONLY and dispose of.
PLEASE be considerate of others with noise as there is 6 units on block . If boogie boards lost or broken if you could replace for next guest, that be greatly appreciated , or let me know so i can replace and deduct from bond, If any concerns or problems arise please feel free to message me.
Car parking is on side of property only and enough room for 2 cars . No extra guest with camper vans allowed.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD, overview
Torquay is just a gorgeous place for a relaxing weekend or short Holiday , its extremely peaceful and a really nice vibe , lots of shops and cafes to stroll to in all directions .. the main Torquay beach is at the end of street and the surf beach is a walk over and opposite. Everything is in walking distance which makes the location so good, and a lovely quiet peaceful street , plus not far from the famous Bells Beach or take a nice drive along the Great Ocean Rd to Lorne and further. There are Golf courses, Horse Ridding , pet friendly beach.
A LITTLE ABOUT US
We are from inner city Melbourne . We bought this property years ago as a getaway ,we couldn't afford much or a beautiful modern place and we thought this was just SO cute and unusual , great location and just perfect for us to relax and not worry that is was not perfect inside and bonus was it would be great for pets to stay .
We love the beach ,my son loves to surf ,our dog loves to swim !!
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do with a little skip and step back in time.
We just adore it .
Cheers, Angel

Summary: Angel has a beautiful little cottage a short walk from the beach, cafes, restaurants and shops. Completely as advertised. Very comfortable and clean as a whistle. She also communicated freely ahead of our arrival, so that check-in was very easy. It's not luxury but it's not advertised as such, and it was perfect for us.Denis & Marion

Summary: This cottage has a superb beach feel. Recalls the old Torquay. Sure it is dated, but it is extremely comfortable, well set up and highly individualistic. This is our second stay of more to come.
