Beach Retreat - Bring your own linen

Property had a great location to main street, eateries, beaches, walks.

General condition & upkeep on property was POOR. Property stunk of foul air when we arrived. We noticed a large damp area on carpet in main bedroom so rang local agent to let them know, also about the foul stench throughout the house. They said it "probably needed a good air out". Everything we touched in the property from kitchen benches, cutlery, crockery, glasses, fridge, cook top, splash backs, jug, toaster, saucepans/frypans, remotes, outdoor furniture, bedside tables, bathroom vanity was grotty, or felt greasy/grimey. The whole place needed a DEEP CLEAN. We washed the cutlery & crockery we required & left it out so we knew it was clean. . Ensuite shower had been leaking for quite a while, had leaked across tiles & carpet in main bedroom had a significant wet patch. The place smelt rotten. Mould in bathrooms. Main bathroom shower was leaking too. We did not use the ensuite because of the leak [which agent got a plumber to rectify on day 2]. Very poor & we expect a CLEAN place to stay in on holidays. Clothes line was broken, one kitchen draw fell apart. Accommodation can be old but clean and well presented. The agent had signs up, don't don't don't, check out by by 9.00am or get fined, leave place clean or get fined. Appalling - unclean - knocked around. The agent would do well to actually inspect their properties REGULARLY and prior to guests picking up keys..

What a lovely place to stay, the accomodation was great and only walking distance to everything in South West Rocks.

Would have been nice to know that we not only had to take sheets for the beds, but beach and bath towels, tea towels, condiments (salt and pepper are usually supplied in all accomodation), dish washing liquid & toilet paper.

Good

Everything was great!

Close to the shops and the 2 main beaches. Perfect for a family with 4 kids under 13. Agency great to deal with too. Will certainly consider it for next July!
