The property is clean and has a great views and is in a good location. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need. The downfall for us was the beds and the couch that looks out to the water were very cheap and uncomfortable. Unfortunately we had to leave our stay a night early due to the discomfort of the beds and the power going out in the lower level leaving the rooms too cold to comfortably sleep in.

Great Location, Great Views.
Home only has one aircon unit, so the house got quiet hot inside.
Please read the finer details as this listing is for top floor only.
Overall, still had a fun little getaway to Portarlington.

Title: Perfect Getaway with Stunning Views and Relaxing Amenities
I recently stayed at the Absolute Bay Frontage with Fire and Spa Bath, and it was a truly memorable experience. The location is unbeatable, with direct access to the bay and breathtaking views from every angle. Watching the sunrise and sunset over the water was an absolute highlight.
The property itself is well-maintained and offers a perfect balance of luxury and comfort. The spa bath was a real treat, providing a relaxing experience after a day of exploring the nearby attractions. The fireplace added a cozy ambiance in the evenings, creating the perfect atmosphere for unwinding.
The layout of the house is spacious, and the modern furnishings are thoughtfully arranged to maximize comfort. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease, and the living area was great for gathering and relaxing. The outdoor space was another favorite spot, perfect for enjoying the fresh air and views of the bay.
The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive, making the booking process smooth and ensuring we had everything we needed for a fantastic stay.
If you're looking for a serene escape with all the amenities for a luxurious and relaxing getaway, I highly recommend the Absolute Bay Frontage. We will definitely be returning!
