Guest Reviews

• Jenni (8/5): We had a lovely stay, the neighbourhood was a little noisy, but that is out of the owners hands. - The house was presented beautifully, however we could have benefited with instructions on how to use the TV, the oven and the wifi. Basics such as cooking oil and dishwashing liquid etc could have been supplied
• Leanne (10/5): - Fabulous...great pet friendly home. Close to everything.
• Michael (5/5): - The location Both front gates broken Pool not clean pool needs some fixing around edges ect Yard overgrown and hedges ect Leaking Aircon in lounge room Bed in main room bolts needs to be tightened up Dusty Aircon filters Ned's proper cleaning Remote to tv and aircon remote backs missing Nice place can be way better with a good cleaner, and yard maintenance person
• vonita (8/5): - The pool Some stuff that didn't work
• Shakayla (9/5): - The pool and deck
• Julie (7/5): -
• Glenda (6/5): Nice deck, large three bedroom home near the centre of Rockhampton, but could be cleaner. - The kitchen and living area have been renovated and were very nice and useable. As mentioned in other reviews, it needs a really good clean. There was dust on all the blinds and in the toilet area, making everything feel a bit dirty. Also there were cobwebs on the ceiling in the living area. Some small fixes would have out stay a bit more comfortable, eg a door on the third bedroom and fixing the toilet roll holder (instead of having the toilet roll on the floor).
• Kim (8/5): Overall was a lovely time and fit our needs, just needs to be cleaned more thoroughly. - The location, amenities, fit ours needs perfectly. The pool was a great addition and our kids loved it! Whilst overall it was amazing, it could definitely do with a more thorough clean everywhere. Vents, under beds and furniture were dusty. Some designated BBQ items would also be beneficial.
• Sharon (9/5): Lovely house, well set up with everything you need - This is a whole house, with 3 bedrooms. The bed in the main bedroom was super comfy with plenty of pillows for the 2 of us, the shower was over the bath but had great water pressure and a laundry (which is always useful!) Outside is a huge undercover deck with a BBQ and seating areas. The deck has been enclosed with pool type glass fencing so you have a great view of the pool which looks like a cutdown container and was great to fall into a few times! Parking is on street only. It was a pleasant surprise to find some treats left for us and some bottled water in the fridge. Thanks for the stay, guys! Location is good, the house is lovely but is looking a little tired with some TLC needed to paintwork etc. A manual for the oven would be terrific!
• Michele (9/5): Cute little home - Excellent location, nicely renovated single level Queenslander with great amenities.
• Anthony (8/5): Pleasant n Relaxing retreat - The house was cosy and spacious, also came with a pool...the location was perfect for our needs...would definitely stay again. Unfortunately no key to lock the front screen door and no door or fan in the 3rd bedroom...
• Claire (9/5): Great location. Beautiful house. - Large living and dining area. Pool was amazing. Big deck. Still some renovations/painting to be finished but this didn't affect our stay. A/C from front main bedroom made a humming sound in the bedroom next to it which did affect the occupant of that room.
• Eddie (6/5): So much potential. Thanks for the stay. - Location to restaurants and cafes. Kitchen was nice. Beds comfortable. Owner was very responsive. - no keys to lock the security screens. - not sure about the privacy description as neighbours are within talking distance, side access gates in the fences and low fences to see over and through easily. Light on the shed next door shines in the back of the house as there are no blinds. - Harley Davidsons and V8’s coming and going at all hours next door, not good as we had a 3 yr old trying to sleep. - playground not safe for our 3 yr old. Ie. protruding nails and slide is cracked. - pool edging all worn and exposed for splinters due to weathered wood, again did not let child swim and again no privacy. - bbq had old food on it when we arrived. - fans run either flat out or off. - a lot of dust around, needs a good clean. - fixed some of the furniture whilst there as flimsy and loose. Unfinished repairs, patches and painting everywhere.
• Haidee (10/5): great place to stay - good location
• Olivia (10/5): Exceptional - Central location, kids could cool off in the pool, wifi, comfortable beds, kitchen well equipped, quiet street, AC in all bedrooms and living areas. Owner was very polite and friendly 😊 Just needed to bring ourselves, clothing and food.
• Justin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Janice (9/5): Perfect dog friendly Rocky accommodation! - It was clean, spacious and secure. It was in a perfect location with a few pubs, restaurants and cafes in walking distance. It was truly dog friendly and the hosts were lovely and very responsive to messages.
• Tanya (5/5): It was very convenient and mostly comfortable so we would stay there again. - Location was great. Very easy to find. PIN lock was easy to use. Kitchen was very well presented, stocked with a few extra necessities and easy to use. Fridge was awesome! Overall the house could have been a little cleaner. Dirt and dust around skirting boards, behind beds, deck was feeling greasy and the living room cushions did not feel clean. The third bedroom did not have a door which made privacy in that room an issue. None of the beds were made with a top sheet. All 5 of us found that to be non-acceptable and very uncomfortable to sleep.
• Scott (4/5): Very disappointing. - The main living area and kitchen were clean, tidy and present well. We left the property after one night. The property is dusty and moldy making it unhygienic and causing respiratory irritation. The window tracks and frames are filthy with dust and mould as too are the wardrobe door tracks. These don’t look like they have been cleaned in years. In the first bedroom on the left there is significant dust in the bottom of the wardrobe and a dirty towel. This bedroom also has a musty smell. The carpets throughout are not very clean at all - the Ozito vacuum we found does not cut it to vacuum these properly. There is significant dust behind all the beds and the blinds are covered in dust. The toilet floor is dusty behind the door and in the corners. The bathroom needs the mould removed. There is dust lining all the skirting boards which extends through the entire house. These issues we have raised are obviously long term and are unacceptable and potentially unsafe. This is filth that has accumulated over a long period of time. The reviews on Booking.com for 10 out of 10 for cleanliness are questionable. A proper clean of all these areas is required to make this accommodation suitable and hygienic for guests. It is a shame as if these areas were clean then it would be a great place to stay.
• Jan (8/5): Enjoyed my stay and hope to stay again - Close to town in a quiet street, secure with great dog friendly features and all requisite facilities.
• Sally (8/5): Amazing home to stop and rest on our family road trip. - Comfortable, clean and had more than the usual ammenities. Not entirely comfortable with location. Neighbours had argument, another had super loud music, other side working with angle grinder and lots of sirens (hospital close). In middle of night a guy was yelling out in a rage that he wanted to kill someone. None of these are reflection on accomodation which is pristine and lovely. Felt very safe once inside as great security. Also worth noting we are from the country so not used to bigger city noises 😊
