Hi Meryll,

I just wanted to let you know that we loved our stay at River Blue, Barwon Heads. It was the best holiday I have ever had and the house was perfect for wheelchairs.
Thank you very much.

Kind Regards - Cybelle, 31/12/11

Meryll Hi,

Andrew J calling to say thanks for a lovely weekend at St. Emilion (no longer available). We enjoyed ourselves immensely, played poor golf and had a great time in general.

Thanks for getting us organised, and giving us a superb weekend. We put the bins out before we left yesterday morning and plans are afoot to make a return next year, so I hope to be in touch again. Many thanks again for your advise and assistance.

Regards, Andrew J, 30-11-2011

Hello Meryll,

Thought I should write to you to thankyou for the accommodation at Oban.

We had a really great time last weekend in Barwon heads.

Regards, Renny 14/3/11

Dear Meryll,

Thanks for arranging the house, Blue Water Views, for us at such short notice. We ended up with 9 us of and the house was just right. We had lots of laughs sitting in the lounge room and enjoyed a few drinks then were picked up by the courtesy bus for dinner at the Gold Club. Everyone had a good nights sleep (eventually) in the comfortable beds then in the morning we had a walk around the market in Point Lonsdale. My daughter had a great hen's night thanks to your helpfulness.

Loraine S, 15/02/11

Hi Meryll (and team),

I just wanted to pass on our thanks for what was a great stay at Seabank last week. We thoroughly enjoyed the area and want to pass on our thanks for the great accommodation. You were right to suggest that Seabank was the best option for our 2 families. Everyone was very impressed.

The house worked perfectly for our needs and we would appreciate you passing on our commendation and thanks to the ultimate owners. They have done a fantastic job in setting up the property and we appreciated the extra touches of thoughtfulness and quality.

Kind regards, Matt 31/1/11

Hello Meryll,

Once again we have had a wonderful week at Antares Beach House in Ocean Grove.... We would be pleased if you could pencil us in again for January 2012.

Thank you and kind regards - Lyn W. 21/1/11

Hi Meryll,

A quick note to thank you for your assistance over the Christmas/New Year break on finding accommodation in Barwon Heads – River Hideaway worked a treat on the weekend.

Regards, Dean 10/1/11

Hi Meryll,

We are back from our fantastic stay at Ocean Grove and would like to re-book for the same time next year – 1st 2 weeks after Christmas. With all the rain this week we feel very lucky to have had such nice weather for our stay!

I hope that we can book Honeyeater again for that time and understand that you will confirm the booking and request the Deposit in June or July.

And most importantly if we are likely to be able to book the house for next Christmas Holidays.

Regards, Jenny - 5-1-11

Hi Meryl,

I have been meaning to contact you since our stay at the above house. I want to thank you very much for Moonah Cottage, it was a most comfortable, clean and aesthetically pleasing place to spend our holiday. The owners have made it very pleasant, the garden is lovely and we found everything there just great. My family members who were over from the UK enjoyed themselves and loved Barwon Heads.

Kind regards, Marylouise 3/1/2011

To Meryll and team at Holiday rentals,

Thank you for your help with our recent holiday stay at Casa La Terrace in Ocean Grove. The House was fantastic, we had a wonderful holiday and your help was really appreciated. We look forward to doing the same again in the future.

Chloe & Jason 3/1/11

Hi Meryll,

We have achieved consensus faster than i thought, its the Mornington Penninsula after all. Please cancel the deposit. I would like to thank you for all your help, patience and understanding. We shall certainly remember you and use you for future trips. I am more than happy for you to use this as a letter of commendation of you or to write you one if you would like.

It has been a pleasure dealing with you,

All the best, Reizl, 24-12-10

Hi Meryll,

Thanks for a wonderful stay at St. Emillion. We had a fantastic time and the property was perfect. Immaculately presented, spotless upon arrival, and we even had a fire as it was cold one night. Never mind the weather, we thoroughly enjoyed the location and everything the house offered. Thank you so much for your help in choosing this property and your assistance with all our enquiries.

We left you two plum puddings on the kitchen table, make sure you and Andrew get them from the cleaners. See you next year.

Naheda 29/12/10

Hi Meryll,

We had a lovely time at the Boathouse Villa. The house was clean & comfortable for us and our toddlers which gave them a chance to recover their trip over from Singapore. Look forward to staying there again next year.

Junaita 25/11/10

Hi Meryll,

We were really happy with the quality and the location of the apartment. The break was terrific and the weather made things that much better. Perhaps we will do business again.

Regards, Brett, 15/11/10

Hi Meryll,

Just a short note to let you know we enjoyed our stay at Ocean Shores over the weekend. It is a nice property and well presented. Despite the changing weather, we had a very relaxing time.

Regards, David, 6/3/10

Hello Meryll,

Thanks.......very much. We had a fantastic holiday. Our short time in Barwon Heads was most enjoyable, staying at the Rivers End Cottage. The cottage was well fitted out, and we found your eating recommendations spot on, having the best fish & chips in a long time at the Beach House, and good coffees everywhere. We met up with our Q'land friends on the Mornington peninsula for a further week, which was very different. Thank you again. It was lovely to see your part of Australia, and we hope we will be able to visit again in a year or so. Best wishes.

Gaynor, 27-2-10

Dear Meryll and team,

Just to let you know that we had a fantastic stay at Sunset on Reid – the holiday glow is just starting to wear off, but be are still talking about the lovely time we had during our stay, it’s a great holiday house!!

With kind regards, Sonja and Family, 29/1/10

To BG Holliday Rentals,

Our stay in Ocean Grove was great. Battersea House was a good choice with 4 adults and 5 children. Close to all amenities and the beach. The kids enjoyed the whole week. Nice tidy house, with lots of space.

Maree, 27/1/10

Meryll,

I am very happy with our recent stay in Blue Waters Views – it accommodated our family beautifully and seemed to have all we needed except a fly swat! I have asked for a reserve on it for same time next year.

All the best, Jan, 27/1/10

Hi Meryll,

We just wanted to thank you for the lovely time we had in Barwon Heads last week. We stayed at Seaview 47 and just loved it. We are totally in love with your little corner of the world and plan to come again soon. Thanks again for all of your help.

Regards Judy, 16-1-10

Dear BG Holliday Rentals,

We found St.Ives an excellent place to stay, good security, conveniently located, comfortable, well appointed, very clean and with all necessary household items supplied.

Jo and Rob, 15-1-10

Dear Meryll and the team at Barwon Groves Holiday Rentals

My family and I stayed at Blue Water Views in Portarlington from 19/12/09 to 26/12/09.

We had a wonderful time, largely in part to the accommodation being so perfect to our needs.

There were 20 of us ranging from 1 to 69 years old. The large number of sleeping areas and the variety of living areas meant we did not feel like we were in each others pockets. There was always somewhere quiet to go if the mood hit you and even the teenagers were happy as they took over the bungalow.

Being able to walk to the beach was a boon for the 8 kids under 9 years old and they could always find at least one adult who was happy to come along.

The abundance of activities within a short drive, including a scenic flight, shopping, surf beach, wineries, markets ....... meant everyone was entertained.

In fact we had such a good time that my South African brother in law and sister in law who are both from small families want to come to our crazy christmas again on their next visit to Australia in 4 years!

The house was clean and inviting when we arrived. The cupboards were well stocked with cutlery, crockery and other kitchen gear and the DVDs, books and games were a great touch.

All in all we had a wonderful time at a great venue. Thank you for your help in finding this property, it made for a Christmas we will all remember.

Yours truly, Leanne, 3-12-09

Hi Meryll,

Hope all is well. I just wanted to send a quick email to say how great Arinya 2 was. We had a fantastic and relaxing weekend and I appreciate all your help on Friday.

Thanks again, Danielle 17-11-09

Dear Meryll,

We have just returned from Australia after our trip and I just wanted to say thank you for all your help in finding us the best house we could possible have had to stay in for our son's wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous and we had a fantastic time - we really miss the view from the bed when we woke up every morning.

I would be grateful if you could pass our thanks and appreciation on to the owners of Bullarook.

Many many thanks again - we look forward to coming back to you for more housing help on our next visit.

Best wishes, The H... Family 7-11-09

Hi Meryll,

Just a quick note to thank you and your team for the arrangements at 4 Shores Holiday rental over the Cup weekend. We all had a great stay, the location was just fantastic. The property was clean, functional and had many extra’s that we didn’t expect. Thanks again to all and we will definitely book through your service in the future.

Kind regards, Kirsten 6-11-09

To the crew at Holiday Rentals,

We have just spent a wonderful week at Elandra. Our daughter got married from there. A great place for photos.

The house was lovely and clean etc.

Thankyou again, Colleen 2-11-09

Hello Meryll,

I just wished to let you know that I have been lucky enough to secure a holiday house on the other side of the bay so won't be pursuing these options. Your service was excellent though and next time I will try and get in much earlier.

Thanks again, Lucy 30-10-09

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for all your help booking Blue Water Views in Portarlington, the house was fantastic for our large family group, and catered for all our needs with 3 tv’s, table tennis table, games etc and only a few minutes walk to beach and all the shops. Thank you for your patience in going thru all our options with us as we had really specific needs and you were able to meet them with this house.

See you again soon - Ken R, 1-10-09

Dear Meryll

Hi Meryll,

Just arrived back from Barwon Heads and wanted to thank you for all your help. Loved the house (Seaview 47) - didn't expect it to have everything in there (even Tim Tams!!! which I replaced) Please pass on to the owners my thanks for their house and for being so considerate of our needs - we all loved it.

Thanks Meryll,

Hi Meryll,

Thanks for everything, we all had a very enjoyable stay and hope to visit the area again. The house (Blue Water Views) was very comfortable and spacious for all.

Kind regards, Adie, 8-6-09

Dear Andrew,

I have found my ideal holiday home (Ocean Grove Beach House). I am so glad I found your web page and was able to book this magnificent property. The home was equipped with everything a person could want. Beautiful views, lovely clean rooms, wonderful kitchen and the mattresses are so comfy. We hit the jackpot with this house.

Andrew, thank you so much.

Jackie, 28-4-08

Dear Manager,

The Apartment (Clifford Place) was absolutely beautiful. It was what we expected from the photos. Very clean, modern and roomy. The location was perfect, on the main strip of shops made it easy to get around without having to drive anywhere. I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

Satisfied Guest, 23-04-09

Hi Meryll,

Just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time in Portarlington at Blue Water Views over Easter and found the house to be exactly what we had hoped for. We hope that the house was left the way it should be.

Karen, 2-3-09

Hi Meryll,

Just a note to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Lavender Cottage on the weekend.

Everyone was thrilled with the standard of accommodation and the "little extras" that made it a home away from home.

Thank you, Rebecca 23-2-09

Hi Meryll & Andrew,

We have checked out of Pelican's Rest today after another great weeks holiday (our third year in a row at this property) and I wanted to thank you very much for another smooth booking experience.

Meryll,

I just want to say how wonderful the house was on The Terrace. (Casa la terrace)

Beautifully clean; sensational location; well appointed and it was simply bliss.

Cheers, PB 5-2-09

Hi Meryll,

The house (Osprey) was perfect, in a great spot close to the beach and the shop which the kids loved. The court was nice and quiet.

We had lovely hot weather, perfect for the beach. It was nice to spend some time near the water after coming from our drought affected home.

Thanks, Anne 3-02-09

The holiday was fantastic and the house - Happy Holidays - beautifully presented – had everything we needed and more: If you haven’t already I would update/add more photos on the website as we booked fairly “blind” but were amazed at the facilities.

Dear Meryll and staff,

Our stay at Seachange Villas was exceptionally good. Not even 5 minutes to town or beach but still a relatively quiet area. Everything you could ask for in amenities. Well laid out kitchen with dishwasher, bathrooms great and all amenities you could think of at your disposal. Would have no hesitation in staying there again.

A great place.

Our group had a great stay at the White House, the accommodation is of a great standard and the facilities are excellent and the location was most convenient. We were able to take advantage of golf, fishing and general relaxation for the total group.

With all that said we are now interested in a further stay at the White House for the same group and we are keen to check out the availability in October.

Thanks,
Sandy 10-6-08

Hi Meryll,

We would like to thank you very much for an excellent weekend. We all had a wonderful time and the house Footrot Flats is fantastic and so much nicer than we even imagined. We have been coming to Ocean Grove for our family holidays every Christmas and have never stayed in a house to that standard before, we will definately book through you guys every time and will tell all our friends about you also.

Many many thanks again,

Good Morning Andrew and Meryll,

Just a quick note to thank you for our wonderful holiday this year booked with you. We rented Mytton Grove and our stay was an extremely memorable one. If fact we had such a good time we are wondering if the same property is available to rent next year in January between the 5th and 19th of January 2009?

Many thanks once again.

Dear Meryll,

Just wanted to say Thankyou for another wonderful holiday at Pool on Hilda. This is the second year that we have had in Ocean Grove and once again the kids had a wonderful time at the beach and in the pool. "When the kids are happy then Mum and Dad are happy."
I'm getting in early to find out what the arrangements are with regards to booking again next year. We would certainly like to go back to Hilda Ave in January 2009.
Can you please let me know what the procedure is?
Thanking you again.
Paula

To whom it may concern,

Your website was referred to me by a friend who recently rented Seachange Villa and gave a glowing report of the property and your service. Can you please provide me with some information regarding this property. Dates are: 4/02/08 to 08/02/08.

Can you please let me know of availability and price. If unavailable do you have anything similar for the above dates. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi Meryll,

I just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely wonderful weekend and the house Malka was just gorgeous. I imagine that we were very lucky to get such great weather and surf although.

We had such a nice time that we are thinking of spending a week there over the Christmas/New Year holiday period this year. I am sure that this is a very popular and busy time of year for you, so I am wondering if you can give me a short list of pet friendly properties that are available.

Thanks again

Hi Meryll,
I just wanted to say thank you for finding us a place to stay for our Lionel weekend. We had an absolute ball at Ocean Dunes, and it was especially nice to be staying in such a luxurious house, so close to Ocean Grove's gorgeous beach.

Thank you also for allowing us to stay on for the afternoon on Sunday - it was great not to have to rush around, and to instead enjoy the beach knowing that we could still have a final shower before heading home. Please let me know if you need me to complete any post-stay documentation.

Warm regards,
Zoe

Meryll,
Just a quick note to yourself and your son to thank you for such a wonderful stay from the Murphy "Clan". Ocean Grove Beach House ended up being absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much for your professional and friendly help.

The Murphy Clan.

Meryl & Andrew,
Thankyou for organising the accommodation Blue on Dare, Ocean Grove for us. The house was lovely & was very suitable for what we needed. We came to Ocean Grove on very short notice from Newcastle in NSW for a family funeral which wasn't at all pleasant. (We have only been to Ocean Grove for lovely family holidays before). The Dare St house meant all of us could be together, which was a big help.

Thanks again.
Jill

Hi Meryll and Andrew,
Just a short note to thank you for your professional approach when we arrived unannounced seeking a holiday house for immediate occupancy. We really appreciated Andrew's patience and courtesy when showing us the properties available. Property owners who list with specialised holiday rental companies like yours are miles in front of those that list with Real Estate Agents.

The property @ Colite Street (Colite Sands) proved to be an excellent choice being spacious and very clean and tidy with quality fittings not always found in rental properties. As you know we do not book places sight unseen and we are quite fussy, so, should you encounter some one like us who may benefit by having a reference on this property please feel free to pass on my email address.

Regards,
Keith

Dear Meryll,
I just wanted to let you know what a great weekend we had at the Boat House Villas. The place was perfect; so gorgeous and comfortable and all the special thing like breakfast, shampoo etc was just a bonus. Each year we go on a weekend away in a different place, and we decided that next year we just want to come back to Boat House Villas again!

Thanks for your efficiency and making a choice for us that was so excellent.

Regards,
Angela
