Guest Reviews
- Greg (6/5): Great little cottage, but needs some updating. - Very clean, all linen spotless, great location. Enjoyable little cottage to stay in. Both single mattresses need replacing, very uncomfortable. Kitchen in need of a larger fry pan and a microwave. Bath towels and some pillows need updating.
- Pauline (4/5): I do not recommend staying at this house. - Extra bits and pieces like salt pepper cling wrap etc The single beds were very uncomfortable and sofa bed was horrendously uncomfortable with what felt like wood right up the middle with next to no padding.
The bathroom is so small and it is impossible to dry yourself from the shower and not bump into everything.
The bathroom and toilet have no ceiling and allows noise and odours to travel.
The lounge is broken and has lost support and is uncomfortable to sit in.
The house leaks when raining ( the refrigerator is sitting on a pallet) water runs in at the back door and ponds around the kitchen/living area. This space seems to be at ground level ( perhaps a converted car space)
The smoke detectors don't adhere to regulations.
No microwave
No dishwasher
Air-conditioning is moldy
House smells damp and in need of a lot of renovation.
Water damage on cabinet doors in kitchen and bathroom
The high tide comes into the street so you need to park up on the grass.
- Linda (8/5): My family and I enjoyed our time in Lota using this little cottage as our base. - Lovely quiet location close to water and train station. The bathroom was tiny.
The billiard table takes up a lot of space in the living area.
No microwave.
- Yolande (10/5): - Peaceful, relaxing venue. Feels like a second home. Nothing
- Jolene (7/5): - The property was fine. The owners was absolutely lovely and communicated very well. The beds were very squeaky and not very comfortable. The lounge was also very worn. Everything was fine.
- Eve (10/5): Best stay of our lives - We booked this on a whim when we had some last minute changes to our plan & I am SO glad we did. The place is kept very clean and has everything you would need & more. Valerie and her husband are very welcoming hosts. We loved having the bikes & kayaks, they made it so much fun. The area is stunning, beautiful birds & lots of possums around at night. Really quiet and peaceful.
I also had a last minute small niche urgent issue, I needed some wire cutters for a piercing that had gone bad, an odd request for Valerie to receive I’m sure! But she asked around and found me a neighbour willing to help. So overall, really went above and beyond to make everything just perfect. On top of that, value for money is bananas! There isn’t a single thing we didn’t like, except the fact we couldn’t stay longer!!!!
- Justin (9/5): Excellent value, brilliant location for us - This was in a great location with fabulous walks and access to the local railway You can stroll to local area easily and the whole setting is right on the coastline
- Garren (8/5): Value vacation spot - Clean, great location, quiet,lovely view, free use of kayaks and bikes great hosts Very cramped bathroom no microwave
- Janne (5/5): Passable -
- Beat (8/5): Very good - Great location. 2 (small) bathrooms. Clean. Quiet neighbourhood (apart from some jetski noise during high tide). Pool table. A microwave in the kitchen would be good.
- Donna (7/5): I enjoyed having my morning coffee out the front watching all the runners, walkers bike riders. - I liked the location and how clean the property was. The pillows I like a firmer pillow, that's just my preference.
- Jane (9/5): A little treasure of a place. - We were met on arrival and shown through the house and where we could find everything. Parking was just outside the door. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The queen bed was very comfortable. The air con was effective and very quiet. There was even a pool table, which was fun. The location was nice - in a quiet area, across from a little park and boat ramp, with lots of restaurants farther along the Esplanade. We'd definitely stay again. The couches in the lounge weren't comfortable but I believe the owner is looking into that.
- Gutherson (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable and clean. Perfect for the two of us.
- Yolande (9/5): Superb - Peaceful and quiet . Everything we needed.
- Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Steve (8/5): All Good - It was centrally located and close to family in Wynnum Nothing its OK as it is
- Noel (9/5): Superb -
- Ryn (10/5): Amazing experience, with the aircon, location and vibe, the place is 100% worth staying. - The place was nice and tidy, and the lounge room was beautiful for all of us to just relax. Not to mention the perfect air conditioners in the rooms were incredible. As well as the beds, super comfy and really nice to sleep on. The area as well was perfect, right next to the beautiful water meant nice breezes, plus with the park right there as well as being very close to the train station meant for a perfect experience for me and my friends. The bathrooms were a tad small, but nothing that really bothered any of us. Honestly nothing was bad at all, we all had a very pleasant experience.
- Jennifer (9/5): Superb - The host was really friendly, helpful and accessible. The location was great. Having a pool table was loads of fun. There were extra touches that were thoughtful. A microwave would've been great.
- Sue (9/5): Thank you for sharing your property with us - Location worked very well for us. We enjoyed biking in the area
- Simon (8/5): Very good -
- Nadia (7/5): Lovely little place - The facilities, pool table, kayaks, bikes and how close to water was really cool. Owners were absolutely lovely, a nice quiet area.
- Deanna (9/5): Beautiful vacation home! - Great location. Loved having access to kayaks and it was a good spot central to attractions. Owners were excellent communicators and home was lovely. Only wish was that the kitchen had a microwave, but we managed without for the week. Otherwise it had everything we needed.
- Yolande (8/5): Very good - Excellent location, lots to do in area.
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kelly (10/5): I highly recommend staying here perfect location perfect hosts we loved our holiday here - It was very clean very comfortable close to everything & it had bikes & Kayaks There was nothing not to like it was perfect
- Soniastewart (10/5): Awesome, Highly Recommend - Host was absolutely lovely. Great communication, friendly and very helpful. Location was suitable for my needs. Across the road from water front, great walks, tranquil and pleasant. Although I didn't use, having the option for the Kayaks and Bikes was awesome. Would highly recommend this cute cottage. Honestly, nothing I didn't like.
- Azusa (10/5): great!! - privacy is protected. no microwave.
- Zoe (6/5): Overall we liked staying at the cottage because it was cheaper than a regular hotel. But I was disappointed that the hea - Close to the water, lovely walks nearby. Pool table was fun and the cottage was very cute. Bedroom heater didn’t work very well, even after the owner attempted to fix it. The heater looked dirty inside and smelled mouldy - it needs replacing or a pressure wash done.
The bed my parents slept on had springs poking through the mattress and old linen.
There was a possum stuck in the roof which made it hard to sleep.
- Rajesh (8/5): Very good -
- Beth (8/5): Great place for a family stay. - The place was perfect for us. Plenty of room and right across from a park and the water. we took the kayaks out which was a lot of fun.
- Mary (9/5): we will be back - Our Hosts were particularly helpful and we felt we were in a comfortable setting. Think a microwave would be good !
- Aaron (8/5): great fun. great location. did everything a place should on a family stay - pool table, bikes, canoes sloping pool table
- Yolande (9/5): Superb - Quiet location, clean. Close to water with bikes, kayaks, pool table.
- Graham (9/5): Highly recommended. Quiet and great location by Moreton Bay - Host met me at the house after delays with flights etc. Very detailed run down on the property. Host was very helpful and friendly. Lovely spot - just as described !. Quiet and peaceful !. Opposite a lovely park and Moreton Bay. Very clean and well appointed. Bed was very comfortable. Quirky property but highly recommended. Lota fish and chip shop was very good !. Watch out for Midgie bites after dark by the water - very itchy ! Nothing to do with the property but well worth taking some insect spray.
- Melissa (9/5): Love the Lota Shack!!! ❤️ - The location was beautiful and not to far to travel into the city. Being a 'big' family the bathroom was a little small but we made it work.
- Jia (7/5): Good -
- Samantha (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place to Stay, Host was so friendly and helpful. Being able to use Kayaks and bikes were brilliant right near the water and cycle paths. Central to everything we needed. Safe friendly area to stay. Nothing not to like, loved our stay.
- Dimity (7/5): A convenient and quiet location. Be aware that there is no microwave, the house is quite a bit smaller than what it look - location No microwave
