Be careful giving your card details as the owner thinks he then has a right to keep charging you for things without discussing them with you first! Will not be returning!

The property is in a great location for attending the footy at GMHBA stadium. The owners were fantastic in upgrading us to a unit that had two bathrooms (there were 6 adults), however, they only made up bedding for 5, when our booking was for 6. We managed ok, but it was disappointing.

Check in process is terrible. I also do not like being told how to reverse my own vehicle. I also did not like how we waited 20 minutes to be able to access our room. I mentioned I needed the bathroom so if we could just go leave our things quickly and use the facilities. When we finally accessed the room the owner came in to the room we had paid for. Sat down with his laptop and said we could use the bathroom while he was sorting out our booking. Shocking service. Really really bad.
