Our family consists of myself, my wife, our son 11, (autistic & non verbal) plus our dogs, a border collie & a sheltie. We booked here because it fit our mix of needs perfectly.
The Long Beach location meant we could come & go as often as our son wanted. It was a stunning 2.3km walk along beaches & walking tracks into town each day for coffee & breakfast at one of the delicious cafes.
Robe is a very dog friendly town, and given that the house is too, they felt at home immediately. Being able to come inside was perfect. Having a secure yard meant they could spend time outside drying off after the beach. The front fence is only low but our two aren't determined escape artists so it wasn't an issue for us.
That it was safe, quiet and secure is super important when travelling with someone with autism. Its location set back from the road meant it was secluded. The ability to secure both doors & remove the key meant my wife & I could sleep peacefully knowing he couldn't wake up & decide to go to the beach at 3am. The responsive communication with the booking agent was fantastic and allayed our concerns before booking.
The property is simple but tidy & comfortable with everything we could think of. We felt at home for our two weeks & were so sad to be leaving that we have already rebooked for next year.
Robe is a stunning little town for a low key, disconnected beachside holiday with plenty of food options & wineries within an hour. This place offers the perfect base.
