The place is clean and nice. The owner is accommodating.

White light for the room would be better for me but that's my personal preference.

"Excellent stay, extremely good value"

9.0

Very convenient, clean and easy to access.

There was a guest in another room that I never actually saw, just heard them and it was a little unusual for me - nothing bad, just not a scenario I've stayed in before - mostly just me feeling a bit awkward moving around the house knowing that they were in their room or bathroom but never seeing them - not sure what could be done to make it less awkward, maybe advise that there will be other guests using their rooms, not sure

"Waste of money not worth staying and he is a controlling people what there on holiday"

1.0

There heaps of issues with this place, it’s was dirty and unhealthy as I have a big lump on my next from staying In that bed… Very cold in the house and very dangerous for kids and not probably fence and lawn need to be mowed, as also there was mould in gap of bathroom. Also having a cat around is feral at a places when people are there.

Bathroom issues mould Fencing not done properly front and back Very cold in the house all over Beds needs to be replaced in room 3 - due to my neck Heater in room 3 not safe and it’s was smoking up. Also the owner rock up every day and dose not understand that the person is on holiday and don’t want disturb and also the owner is a control freak towards me with a disability as i won’t trust him, and will never stay here… All I’m asking that I deserve my money back, due to all of these issues I had. I want my money back

"A better option than a hotel or motel"

10.0

The idea of sharing a property was foreign to us but it was perfect. The cost and the facilities provided outranked any motel or hotel - at over HALF the price. An excellent option and one I highly recommend.

Apart from the TV Netflix account being signed out - everything was great.

"Happy stay, nice place, but lock your doors at night"

7.0

What a lovely building! Appears recently renovated with a good quality kitchen and all the necessary cooking equipment for a short duration stay. Has nice and clean carpet throughout, with good curtains for privacy. It also has upgraded bathrooms with decent sized showers, even for the budget room. The hosts provide coffee, spices and essential goods to help enjoy your stay. Plenty of utensils and plates for your convenience, with a shared kitchen and lounge in the main rear entrance. We really enjoyed the hosts desire to provide a private bathroom allocated to each room. They offered additional sheets and towels for the duration of our stay as well as shampoo and soap. They checked in daily to make sure we were comfortable and looked after. The selection of books available to read was a nice touch and you can tell that this house was designed to offer homely comforts for travelers of all backgrounds. The beds were comfortable with good quality sheets and comfort toppers. Plenty of heating in the rooms and an AC unit in the main lounge. Seperate TV room from the lounge offers privacy if you are sharing with another guest. Individual rooms have locks on the doors for your security, with a combination lock to the main entrance. There is a large back yard with a very friendly neighborhood tabby cat who will catch your attention. A security camera facing the rear of the property offers some security, with a separate entrance door to the master bedroom. A large north facing sunroom captures the heat during the short winter days and offers a nice place to relax in poor weather.

We stayed 6 nights and didn't feel completely secure due to the activity from the next door neighbors. They burned rubbish in an uncontained fire in a shopping trolley in their back yard which sent heavy fumes and ash billowing through the house and our belongings. It left all of our clean clothes smelling of ash and smoke. Large flames were visibly seen eminating from an uncontrolled fire in their backyard which left the property feeling more like a scene from the "upside down" in the show Stranger Things than that of a holiday home. Owners state this is a regular occurrence. A lot of suspicious activity was witnessed in the area happening at various hours of the day including people standing out front of the property looking inside or standing guard out front. People would often congregate on the roadside and on the weekend there were loud sports cars racing out front. Probably not the safest place to be walking the streets after dark. The front kitchen and main entrance is visible to anyone walking down the street. Large glass doors on the front of the property offer little privacy to anyone walking the interior hallway at night. Was assured by owners that it was safe, but had an overwhelming feeling that we may be staying in a questionable neighborhood. Frequent arguaments and fighting were heard across the fence at various hours of the day. Was advised by the hosts that the police are aware of this behavior. The hot water tank for the smaller bathroom is not adequate, with not enough hot water for two people. Possibly operating with dual cylinders for both bathrooms. Was advised that there was plenty of hot water for everyone, but unless you are happy with taking military showers this probably isnt true.
