Strahan House

The property was really big and the bedrooms were huge fitting 8 people easily. The kitchen was well appointed and laundry very good. We found the toilet in the backyard a great novelty but it really helped with such a big group. Excellent location with immediate access to coffee shops, food outlets, pharmacy etc. and very close to the city centre. When we needed help from the property manager, as response was received instantly.

The parking space was very small and meant the driver had to enter and exit through the passenger side. Street parking didn’t allow for an alternative. The internal staircase was very steep. It was also very loud and squeaky with an automatic sensor light that meant anyone using them at night would wake the entire house up. Some windows didn’t lock and the outside toilet was full of leaves and debris.

Charming old house in a great location.

Off street parking was tight for our large SUV, but we got it in.

The location is great. The beds were quite comfy. The linen was clean. There was only 3 rolls of toilet paper provided for 8ppl for 3 nights, but when I contacted the owner it was rectified promptly.

The standard of cleaning was very poor. In the kitchen, the drawers were dirty and even in the drawer with the pots and pans, one was filled with water. There was a space where towels should hang but clearly was removed, plug and sinks broken and dirty, hair in the bathroom drawers, bins were full etc. Even the the hand soap was clearly ‘topped up’ with water, which is not what should occur with this type of property. Clearly no attention to detail. The outside toilet is pretty much non-functional. 8 beds with 1 toilet is hard to manage. Car parking provided for only 1 car.

Nicely decorated home with renovated kitchen and bathrooms. Quality furnishings and appliances. Central location. Easy to access. Good facilities with washer and dryer and tv with netflix.

Stairs going upstairs were unexpectedly very steep. We had grandparents with us so this ruled out the rooms upstairs but we also had kids that wander from their bed into ours at night and the stairs were directly between the kids bedroom and double bedroom upstairs but there was no gate at top of the stairs so we had to have them sleep with us downstairs in our bed. Could be rectified by putting in a retractable gate which we saw in another accommodation. Bedbase was spring and creaky upstairs and there are no flyscreens on windows so reluctant to open the windows in the evening.

Good location and comfortable beds.

Tried to contact the owner about the stove not working but did not get a response back.
