Awesome place, great vibe

Would love a handrail up the stairs, but that’s just because of my creaky knees 😂

"So disappointed!"

3.0

This unit is well designed and well furnished, and the interior design is super cool. The location is also perfect, but all of that was overshadowed by how dirty it was and the lack of effort to make things right by the owner. The unit was in a generally filthy state when we arrived. The bed sheets had not been changed — there was human and dog hair throughout the bed, and the bed smelt as though it had been slept in for a week. We had to strip the bed ourselves and contact the owners for cupboard access to get clean sheets. The oven meat tray and chopping board hadn't been cleaned after being used, and everything was covered in sticky dust and cobwebs. Although the owners apologised and offered to send a cleaner the next day, we declined, as the property needed a thorough deep clean, not a quick tidy. Their response left us feeling as though they thought we were exaggerating, so after the weekend we sent them multiple photos and explained that we felt entitled to a discount or refund for the first night. If you zoom in on the photo attached of the bed sheets, you'll see how dirty it was, and that is just one little part. It was all through the bed. They replied that the unit was being deep cleaned and said they would investigate and get back to us — but they never did. A gesture such as inviting us back for a complimentary night after the spring clean would have gone a long way to making things right. This is my first ever negative review, and it’s as much about the lack of effort to resolve the situation as it is about the dirty state of the unit itself.

Everything about the property was perfect! Great location, awesome vibe. Being dog friendly as well was such a perk! There’s some amazing places to discover nearby. I wish I stayed longer so I will definitely be back.

Could hear the neighbours through the walls a little bit but very minor!!

"Lovely location and very interesting exotic deco! Love the space."

8.0

I love how the property let us have our fur babies. And all well fenced and gated.

The only thing I’ll say, if you have kids, it’s not very child safe going up the stairs, and lighting a little dark. But I guess that may be the feel you’re achieving with the deco of the place. The bathroom was also def exposed to the stairs leading to the bedroom. Other than that it’s nice and neat.

"It was treat to stay, 100% recommend. Would go again."

9.0

The interior designer needs a raise. Great location, well insulated, close walking distance of beach and viewpoint. Space for parking, all the amenities you need. Very impressed and grateful to stay.

We were only hesitant as the house was connected to other units which isn't mentioned. However this had no impact on our stay, the place was soundproof and felt a very separate unit. Peaceful, calm, didn't need to interact with anyone which is what we wanted. The only disappointment, which had nothing to do with our stay, was Flat White Cafe. The views were great but the manager was truely horrible. He argued with his staff and made them upset, made a scene with another customer and we felt very uncomfortable dining there.
