We had an amazing stay. The unit was impeccably clean, and we had everything we needed, including thoughtful extras like washing powder, glad wrap, cooking oil and even a box of chocolates. Excellent communication with hosts. It's in a perfect location with access to shops and the beach within walking distance. We had such a lovely stay and would definitely return.

We enjoyed a 3 week stay in Torquay Treasure and found it clean, comfortable, quiet and convenient for a holiday in Torquay and the Surf Coast. The house is very well equipped and we had everything we needed. We hope to return again next year.
