Disliked: Cleanliness
This property is smelly, unclean and has some serious issues.
I have many issues with this property.
The smell
The plumbing causing the whole house to vibrate when a tap was turned on
The broken couch with the wobbly arm rests that had planks of wood under the cushions making them really uncomfortable to sit in. I was worried they would break under our weight.
The advertised oven that is not present in the house
The lighting being so poor you cant even read a book at night time
Two of the bedrooms are accessed from outside the peoperty and were completely uninhabitable due to the smell
The spiders
The broken toilet seat
And thats not even all of the problems.
Do yourself a favour and stay elsewhere. Anywhere else!
I'm seeking a refund.

Not as good as it looks in the pictures
Property not as clean as their instructions indicate the expectations upon leaving the property. Downstairs sleeping area is’t suitable for guests at all. The single beds had quite a sink in the middle. We didn’t find a dishwasher and we had to clean the BBQ before we used it. Not suitable for extreme heat as there was no air conditioning
Best part of the property was the balcony.

Worst house
This house has bad smell in lower floor and shouldn’t be on rent list
Lower floor entry not levelled and a hazard. Family member tripped during our stay.
This house needs to be inspected before being listed for others to book.
- smell downstairs is unliveable
- All the furniture is very old
- All the taps in the house make noise when you use them
Wasting my money on house shouldn’t be listed
I’m asking for refund not worth the stay at this property at all

Decor set back in time, clean tidy and close to attractions
It is a clean place however old 70's Décor, the plus is that the home is away enough from the hustle of the beach but a close enough drive to get there.
The bedrooms are not all on the one level, to get upstairs you have to come out and walk up the stairs, if you have kids and seeking 3 bedrooms you will have one down stairs which is not ideal. Plenty of parking on the property.
