Had everything we needed and it was convenient to local attractions that interested us. Comfortable bed and armchair. The toilet end of the bathroom was tight but manageable and the shower was excellent. The hosts were nice people.

Relaxing Get Away @ Asmara
We really loved our 3 day break at Asmara. The location was perfect, close enough to the shops, but far enough away from the business of town. The accommodation itself was fantastic - cosy and warm with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Would thoroughly recommend

Beautiful lil house
A hidden gem! A little studio that is everything and more. We didn’t need to bring a thing. Studio is very comfortable, clean and well set out. Very peaceful and out of the way. A quick drive into Barwon Heads and beyond. Could be a bit tricky to find at night but well worth it! We will definitely be back and I’ve already recommended this stay. A really beautiful spot

Natural setting at Barwon Heads
Tucked away in a quiet court this property was in a natural garden with privacy and outdoor seating options. Short drive to shops and beach . Compact shower and toilet had plenty of towels and we had a small coat rack to hang our clothes. For a short stay it was all you wanted.

Thank you Dianne for a peaceful and relaxing stay at Asmara. Your warm, welcoming and tastefully furnished space was just what I needed for my break from the daily grind. The bed was super comfy and the shower was wonderful. Loved the meandering pathway just outside the gate, for short walks and was not to far to walk for great coffee each morning. I couldn't have wished for more! Five stars! *****

Lovely and relaxing
We had a wonderful stay here. Property exactly as the photos. Check in a breeze with lovely Dianne. Only complaints are -Bed was too firm for our liking which resulted in stiff backs. - Outside area had alot of cobwebs and spiders making it hard to relax out there -Wi- fi kept dropping out on TV meaning that Netflix etc didn't work. But we understand probably can't be helped in the location. Only mentioning this as some feedback for Dianne :) Other then that everything was perfect! Loved that she left some lindt balls and Tim Tam's for us. Thankyou Di

Fabulous location, fabulous accommodation, fabulous host. Such a relaxing stay. Bed was really comfortable, the setting was sublime, so lovely hearing birdsong every morning. Close enough to walk to the main strip for some really wonderful food: Tommy Gunns, Che Vuoi, Ebb & Flow, Annies Providore to name a few. Thank you Di for a fabulous stay.

From the moment I booked the communication was great. Closer to my booking date I received a detailed email from Di. The property was first class with all amenities and provisions of a high quality. On meeting the owners they were so considerate and Such a lovely couple with such a beautiful dog. This stay really made my Christmas. Can't thank you enough.
