I first state that this is a wonderful spacious house, well located near Blue Lake at Mt Gambier - we enjoyed our time here.
However our stay was marred by 3 problems: a lack of a washing machine or Wifi, which we did not notice in the booking (our fault). Either of these would be enough for many families to book elsewhere - a house this size and at this price should have both.
The third problem was a fault in the stove - it would not heat at all. The landlord also provided a portable stove, which we used, but this also suffered from limited space and poor heating. To get enough heat, I had to cook meats with a lid on a frypan, and run multiple shifts - something I've never had to do anywhere in the past.
Also, the property came with a very spartan kitchen with few utensils, including a filthy frypan with burnt teflon, a serious health hazard - the landlady did give us a clean one when we asked. She also gave us some vegetables, including a beetroot, which was nice - but ironically it took about 2 hours to cook on the portable stove.
The landlady needs to reconsider renting this property, and whether she is prepared to replace the stove and upgrade what is included. We have previously rented properties through Stayz at a third of this price, with much more offered.
