Comfortable, clean and convenient
A comfortable weekend visit to Portarlington, well located, clean and in good condition. The weekend was a bit chilly so we would have been a bit warmer overnight had the beds been fitted with electric blankets. I’d never visited Portarlington before and would definitely stay at Willis Place again.

Lovely family home!
Such a nice family home, massive backyard and pet friendly. Our super small dog was so happy with the space away from small backyard in Melbourne. We walked every where, so close to amenities, many more high quality restaurants than we remember from five years ago. Thanks so much, our host William even contacted me via mobile from Japan to make sure our check in was OK!

Fishing weekend
I thought the house was a bit cold when walking in . Maybe doors open and drapes drawn . Might give it a better feeling . House was what we thought would be great for a couple of family’s as it is well positioned . Overall good stay

Perfect location and very comfortable house
Set in a very quiet neighbourhood, this house was only a short walk to all the best of Portarlington. The house was very comfortable (slept really well and even got to enjoy a bath!) and al lot of thought had gone into the amenities, including big comfy chairs in the lounge, lots of games, and information on what to do in the region. The backyard was large and fully fenced, so would be great if you're travelling with young children and need somewhere safe to let them run around. This will be our new go-to house for the region.

Another great stay at Willis Place
Always a few new extras at the home which we really appreciate - butter and spreads plus milk in the fridge. New coffee machine looks great! The deck and yard are so great for our fur babies- plenty to explore and grass to roll on! Always a wonderful stay 😁

Central and great for kids
We've had a great time and kids really enjoyed all the backyard entertainment including the trampoline and table tennis. Will and Gabe were very accommodating by letting us stay a bit longer on a rainy checkout morning, thank you again! Heated blankets were a welcome bonus. Overall clean, but rated down as bathtub needed a wash and kitchen floor wasn't sweeped. Would recommend and happily return. Cheers

A commodious place
We were in need of an affordable place for two nights as we were enabling an event at the Potato Shed. The accommodation we sought was for ourselves, our daughter (who is heavily pregnant) and her husband, their dog and ours. Willis Place was very suited for this type of purpose and Will himself is very communicative and wants to be helpful.
