" Linda, VIC January 09 ________________________________ Rating: 5 /5 "Being upgraded into a luxury home was a lovely surprise, even though we would have been perfectly happy at Ebb Tide. The guys at summerholidaze.com.au are very helpful - next time we come to Ocean Grove we will be staying at one of their homes. " Pauline, QLD October 08 ________________________________ Rating: 5 /5 "Wonderful all round holiday retreat - our 2nd time back.
