Stacey, VIC November 08 ________________________________ Rating: 5 /5 "Wonderful all round holiday retreat - our 2nd time back. Ebb Tide was great for our budget stay and Spring Tide has impressed us no end - we are a family of 5 and found that there was so many activities for the kids and adults - billiard table, golf clubs, games room, so many inclusions. We'll be back, thanks Chris." Jen, VIC October 08 ________________________________ Rating: 5 /5 "Ebb Tide was booked so we were upgraded to Spring - great house, especially for my kids with the games room & all the extras." Anna, VIC October 08 Rating: 3 /5 "The hosts are agreeable and friendly. The house is basic but very clean. It is well set up for little children and being able to take your dog is certainly a bonus. So for the price of a motel room you get a lot more. I'd recommend Ebb Tide Cottage if this is what you are looking for." Gaby, VIC December 07 Rating: 4 /5 "Our stay was very nice. The owners were very helpful and easy going. The accomadation was just what we were looking for, somewhere to take our daughter that was child freindly. No need to take anything, lots of toys, games etc.Just a short distance to the surf beach in a quiet relaxing area. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again." Tracy, VICTORIA September 07 Rating: 5 /5 "We were upgraded to another of the www.summerholidaze.com.au homes and were very pleased to be so close to the beach." Michelle, VICTORIA October 08 Rating: 5 /5 "Customer service is 2nd to none. Home was exceptionally clean and the kids had a ball." Damien, VIC August 08 ________________________________ Rating: 4 /5 "Overall the stay was great very clean accommodation and would definately go back" Brooke, VICTORIA June 08
