Great Location for Long Beach Access!

Great house in a great location. Generally could do with a little TLC and maintenance (eg deep cleaning of floors under beds, rugs and couches/couch cushions, maintenance or tapware replacement or shower in total). Would be happy to stay here again next time we visit Robe!

Great holiday house

We had a great stay at Robe! The house was great for a family holiday. All the essentials provided (including high chair for the baby), no issues getting the key. Just a short walk to the beach and a bit away from the business of the town.
