Lovely getaway
We enjoyed our time at the cottage as we were evacuated due to wildfires in the NT. It was a little cozier than we thought as the two bunk beds are supposed to sleep 8 of the 12 guests and an air mattress for the other 2. But there isn’t any room for the air mattress except in the living room between the couches so you have to put it up and down each night.
The view was amazing and the sunsets beautiful. It was too bad that there were two water advisories so we couldn’t go in the water but it was still nice to sit on the deck and have a fire. The spacious deck has tons of room for the kids to play! We spent a lot of time outside.
The dishwasher didn’t always fully clean the dishes and the pots/pans are not in great shape and there were no cookie sheets which made cooking a bit of a challenge but we bought some disposable aluminum pans and they worked well.
It wasn’t mentioned that you can’t drink the water, but once we figured out where to go in town to refill the reusable water jug we were good.
My lower mark for cleanliness was more for the outside of the property than inside, so not a big deal. There were a lot of bugs and cobwebs on the outside of the house and on the patio furniture, and in the window sills. But easy enough to clean off the furniture outside.
Overall we had a great stay and the host was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had.
