Guest Reviews
- Cristina (9/5): -
- Jamie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrea (1/5): Good location bad service. Won’t be back. - The property was ok, but the property manager has many lacks on the system. They will charge an extra 500 just before the stay. They try to scam for more money
- Fryer (8/5): Lovely comfortable house -
- Colleen (8/5): No linen, no wifi. Lovely cottage to get away - Cute cottage, lovely bush surrounds, great location close to smiths lake and amazing beaches nearby. No linen was included and while they could provide,this cost additional $80. While this information was on pacific palms confirmation (they also needed a card for $500 bond before confirming) I missed it on the booking.com write up when booking and this may have changed my decision.
Also not a huge fan of the decorative crosses in the rooms. They weren’t over the top, but not a personal choice for decoration
- Mitchell (1/5): Bad -
- Karen (7/5): The shaka was a good little house in a great location. - The location was great! The house was well equipped for cooking. Bathroom was nice and clean. The back door needs a flyscreen as the mozzies are bad, the front one could do with fixing also. A proper bed in the main room would have been better.
- Leah (3/5): Bad service with not enough essentials provided. - The accommodation is 30mins away from Forster. Its’s good value for a small family or small group of people. There is a club nearby. When we arrived, the body wash was running out. It was Xmas eve, no staff work and service station was closed too. It was disappointed that we couldn’t take shower after going beach. We sent msg to property management asking for essentials such as body wash, tissue papers but we didn’t heard back while staying till Dec 28th. Bad management sorry have to say that.
- Frank (8/5): Bodhi R.I.P.S. - a great property, well appointed kitchen and Point Break on dvd! We had fun. - The property needs another lounge or seat in the living area.
- Alison (10/5): Home away from home. - It’s such a cute beachy place to stay. Home away from home. It would have been nice to have a cancellation policy or change of stay policy. We nearly had to cancel but were able to get there in the end.
- Marianne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kristina (9/5): Superb - Very clean & comfortable
- Michelle (4/5): Disappointing on so many levels - The outside of the shack was welcoming and quaint. Great location. There were so many things that were not to our liking. The shack looks well appointed on the surface but is very ill equipped and not conducive to comfort, ie: 15 minutes of hot water, small heaters that are not ample to heat the space, poor quality mattress and a hard futon for a lounge, extortionate deposit, bringing our own linen, so many rules and regulations that it is hard to relax and enjoy yourself, provision of license and credit card and ongoing texts and requirements pre booking. Such an ordeal and frankly a tiring process. I would highly NOT recommend this property.
- Ana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brooks (7/5): Good - House was beautiful. I loved the beachy look. Didn't have a washing machine
- Denise (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vanny (7/5): it was so great. just need to iron out a few little issues. - it was beautiful. the location was great, and the bed at the back of the house was so comfy. no wifi was a real killer!! we needed to look up maps and research places to go to and couldn't as we were both on Vodaphone. the bathroom was drenched after any shower and ideally, id love a concrete plinth where the bins are to park my car/bike on.
- Ben (10/5): loved the vibe - made me feel cool - style the bed was not good quality
- Ashleigh (9/5): Superb - such a lovely vibe! perfect place for our babymoon, will definitely be coming back during the warmer weather the lounge and beds were a little uncomfortable being too soft but that’s personal preference. otherwise we really enjoyed our stay in a cute shack :)
- Mandy (7/5): Cute accomodation with lovely design elements - Good location, very cute with nice design elements. having to provide my own sheets & towels plus every piece of furniture was uncomfortable! the couches, the dining seats - it looks great but it’s hard to get cozy.
Only having one small mirror in the bathroom is not great if you have more than one person.
I also found the information required by the property manager (including photo ID) and a $500 deposit intrusive and excessive. I won’t book any properties with this property manager again.
- Anonymous (10/5): relaxed and easy - great atmosphere and very comfortable.
