  • Excellent property overall, great bedroom configuration and general area made for an awesome weekend visit. Disappointed with the cleanliness particularly the outside areas, master ensuite not cleaned, and didn’t provide any cleaning gear for kitchen. All in all we were very happy and thought Lively Properties were very responsive to our queries. If the cleaners/hosts had a little more consideration to executing the small touches and attention to details for our arrival would make for an elevated experience as was expected considering the price. We will stay again!

  • We had a great weekend at this property. Very spacious and comfortable stay. A local playground right outside the gate was great for the kids and the proximity to town and the beach made for an easy stay. There were a few amenities that were missing (e.g. enough garbage bags, matches for fire pit) but have provided feedback so shouldn't be an issue for future stayers. Would absolutely rent again!

  • Perfect location close to the beach, shops and playground. A really great property for families/get togethers as there is a large amount of indoor/outdoor entertainment area. A lot is undercover too so you can still use if raining. Will definitely be back!

  • We had a fantastic stay with 7 adults and 5 children. The accommodation was perfect, we had a great time. 2 living space, all the games and bunk bedroom was perfect for the children. Only feedback I would like to give is when there are children please provide single quilts. However, we had really good time with our friends. It is well-equipped space and well maintained. Highly recommended. Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

  • Galene Getaway is a beautiful property, in the heart of Mount Martha, right on Balcombe Creek. We had a fantastic time, going for walks along the boardwalk and enjoying the spacious lounge rooms and open plan kitchen. The kids loved the board games and huge bunk room, and the house was very well appointed with kitchen utensils, plenty of towels, blankets and comfortable beds. It was very easy to check in and the hosts were friendly and responsive. Thanks for a wonderful family weekend!

  • We had a wonderful stay ….with 7 adults and 5 children there was space for us all. The photos don’t do the place justice, it is beautiful as well as being next door to a nature reserve and very close to shops and the beach. We would all love to go back again.

  • What a great stay. The accommodation was perfect. Eight of us girls stayed over a weekend to celebrate my birthday and there was loads of room for everyone. It’s just like the photos, even better. Unfortunately we couldn’t use the pool because it was too cold, but was still nice to look at. The house is surrounded by loads of running/walking tracks, cafes and things to do. It was such a great stay. My only negative comment is that we couldn’t stay longer.
