Guest Reviews
- Chantele (8/5): Thank you for having us - The location was great.
It felt like an actual home. It is old and worn but that we could relax as it wasn’t too perfect.
- Samantha (4/5): Good location. Hosts are nice. Home in desperate need of repairs. - Location was great. Close to shops and the beach. The property was a lot older than the pictures made it appear. A lot of upgrades are needed throughout the home.
One of the beds broke while we were sleeping as well.
- Jeff (1/5): Worst property we have stayed in in 20 years. Terrible communication with hosts. - Location Communication with the hosts was very poor. No responses to questions. Whilst not expecting an older property to be perfect, for the asking price of $550 per night I think that you can expect that at least facilities would be in usable condition and not broken.
The general condition of the property is extremely poor. There is peeling and damaged paint everywhere. Doors, walls, ceilings and bench tops. The couches are badly stained, as is the carpet. There is a blanket hiding tears in one lounge chair. The rugs and blankets provided are very dirty, and some have holes in them.
There are 4 windows which cannot be either opened or closed, mostly in bedrooms, the one place where it is more important. The winders are jammed or broken.
The upstairs bedroom has no blind or curtain at all on one window, the sliding door barely moves unless you force it. The shower screen in the upstairs bathroom is broken and does not slide properly.
The downstairs bedrooms have both got missing / broken blinds, the one at the front corner near the driveway has no curtain or blackout, only a light screen which does not provide any privacy from the street. The brackets and rollers are there, the blinds have gone missing.
The screen door at the back near the dining table does not work, needs to be shoved.
The front screen door is torn in several places making it unusable as an insect screen.
Several wardrobe doors have no handles.
The kitchen bench is peeling and badly stained making it unsanitary. The dishwasher is missing slides and other parts internally, and appears not to function at all. Some of the provided knives are rusty and unusable. The pots and pans are mostly teflon coated and the finish on all of them is badly damaged.
The general cleanliness is very average, with toilets stained and not well cleaned.
The beds are passable, but not comfortable. Everything from the house to the garden reeks of years of neglect.
- Nicole (10/5): Relaxing, comfortable, close to shops and beach, my dogs loved being able to come on holiday with me - Great house and great yard for the dogs. I could travel with my dogs and they were welcome there. Just a couple of small things need fixing but it didnt effect my stay.
- Margot (6/5): Location was amazing. Property needed attention inside and particularly outside. - Location Property needed a whole lot of love all round. I do not believe the asking price for our stay was commensurate with the accommodation delivered.
- Nicole (9/5): -
- Damian (9/5): Great location and good times. - This property was in a great location only walking distance to the main st. The view from the upstairs lounge room was nice. Had plenty of beds and everything else needed. Would stay here again. The beds were a bit uncomfortable and could probably do with new mattresses or even a topper on them.
- Georgina (8/5): - Great location , spacious and excellent views from master bedroom
- William (10/5): - Big space and clean Backyard could do with a tidy up
- Tamara (10/5): Location great but house needs some TLC - Location was excellent. The house is spacious and nicely furnished. Plenty of room for the dog to roam. The spiders and no spray to deal with them. Cobwebs need to be cleaned and cracks repaired. Cockroaches also in the house
- Nathan (4/5): Good location. House needs work - Location was great The couch and carpets were very heavily stained. downstairs toilet leaked and seems to have been that way for a long time. Downstairs showerhead is broken. Musty smell in the house. No curtains on a window in the main bedroom. House in general needs maintenance.
- Rebecca (10/5): Relaxing, pet and family friendly stay! - Spacious, clean and perfect backyard for pets and kids.
House had everything we needed.
Location is amazing, walking distance to the shops and the beach.
- Harvey (8/5): Very good -
- John (6/5): Adequate for our short stay. - Close to central shopping area and beach.
Was able to accommodate all our family members. The place needs a general update to all amenities. Although clean and tidy , it is outdated and in need of maintenance. .
- Megan (5/5): Not value for money. Felt a bit ripped off actually. - Location was amazing & it was great to stay somewhere that was dog friendly House was not that clean, no wardrobe or proper towel rail in upstairs main bedroom with en-suite, backyard was basically dirt & pergola was covered with spider webs, some windows wouldn’t open & sliding doors were very run down. Dishwasher didn’t work properly. Slats of bed upstairs fellow down while sleeping & towels provided were poor quality. Tea towels in kitchen were still dirty.
- Veronica (9/5): excellent and easy process to enter and leave the house - great position and brilliant for the family with a 🐶 might need some attention to the spider webs inside.
- Caroline (8/5): Great location and the house had everything we needed, however could use a little TLC - Great location
The house had everything we needed for the weekend The house could use some TLC
Windows were dirty & some cobwebs in the rooms
- Darren (7/5): Good - Most of the place was great. Suited our use and we would be happy to use it again. Thankyou. Beds a bit noisy. Otherwise good
- Linda (3/5): Poor - Great location
Spacious house. During the first night it rained heavily and we woke up to a very bad leaking ceiling in the kitchen with water all over the floor and bench. From the condition of the ceiling and walls this would not have been the first time there'd been a leak. The main toilet also has a very bad leak and there was black mould in areas; towards the end of our stay mushrooms had started growing on it. This was totally unacceptable.
The window above the bed in main bedroom could not be closed so during cool nights you had cold air blowing continuously. Also one of the windows in that room had no window covering and there are no wardrobes or drawers for clothing. This house does not meet acceptable health standards and requires some serious maintenance work before it is acceptable for renting.
- Lele (7/5): Beautiful location, rooms are very spacious - We like the location it’s very close to Adventure Park, Great view as well, also the host was very easy to approach. Too many mosquitoes in the house especially the toilet downstairs, mosquitoes were everywhere. The bed with the bunk bed is very dusty.
- Jessica (8/5): Very good - Communication from hosts was great and fast. The location was close to the main shopping centre, with the walk being very flat and not hilly. The accommodation was lovely. Big home, plenty of seating and room to move.
- Lauren (6/5): Pleasant - Location was great - short walk to shops, and a minutes drive from the beach. Spacious home, and kitchen was well stocked with all we needed. Bedrooms were a great size, with lots of storage, and the undercover area was lovely. Backyard is very peaceful. The entire front and backyard were very overgrown and full of prickles/weeds. Bed frame in the Queen room downstairs was awful - it was so loud and creaky! The mattress itself was quite comfortable, but after a poor night's sleep on the first night, we had to sleep on the floor the second night. There is also an issue with the plumbing, as the shower and bath would take a long time to drain, and sinks would gurgle whilst they drained.
