We had a great time staying at the "shack", which is a beautiful house with many original features. The pictures don't lie. The views are great, you have a lot less freeway noise that in most other places in Dromana, and yes the fireplace is real. No "The Block"-style luxuries here - no glass shower walls, no fancy bedrooms, no granite kitchen tops, no dishwasher, no hot tub - just a well-maintained, clean property with everything you need to relax and have a good time at the beach.
Just be aware that the second payment goes though a local agency, not HomeAway/stayz and is not covered by their "Book with Confidence" guarantee. They don't tell you that until you've clicked on "Book now". We didn't have any issued with the local agents though.
