Not What the Photos Show

The kitchen and bathroom were clean on our arrival but the rest of the house especially the floors and carpets were filthy. There were no brooms, mops or working vacuum cleaners for us to do the cleaning. The outside areas were unusable because the backyard was poorly maintained and the front yard could not be used for children or dogs because the front gate was rusted and fallen over - being on a main road made this dangerous. The property was not cheap and other properties are offering better value and better maintenance for the money.

Beautifully renovated and decorated house near the beach

We had a really good long weekend at this property. The house is beautifully decorated and spacious. We didn't use the outdoor BBQ as it looked like it was in need of a good clean. The back yard was very overgrown with long grass and weeds in the gardens. Not the sort of yard kids could play in. The outdoor area and furniture really needed a good clean. One day was extremely hot there and the air-conditioner wouldn't work! It was extremely uncomfortable. We couldn't find a manual for it. Tried calling the agent but couldn't get through. We sent a text but got no reply. The bathroom is nicely renovated but the water pressure is really low! The main bed has a very soft mattress and the road noise can be heard if you have a window open. The location is great with the beach access just a street behind the house.

Spider City

This is definitely not pet or child friendly. The backyard so overgrown & full of spider webs we couldn’t leave our dogs outside. The backyard seating area is full of spider webs & we didn’t feel comfortable sitting outside. If the front gate was fixed we could have at least let our pups out there but we couldn’t even do that. This was very very disappointing because the pictures on the website tell a different story. Be prepared & bring your own toilet paper, tea towels, hand towels, hand soap, dishwashing detergent, dishwasher tablets & I could go on. The other thing they don’t supply is manuals on how to use the oven or dishwasher. The place is tidy & the air conditioner works well. The bathroom is very nice. The 2 TV’s have all the digital apps so there is plenty to watch. The internet is fast & worked well.

A bit disappointing!

Property was not well maintained. The rear dog safe yard had one metre high weeds so pretty impossible for two small dogs to go to the toilet! Laundry toilet was blocked and therefore not usable. Air conditioning did not work and when we mentioned this to the agent, they already knew and had done nothing to repair/replace - so why advertise as air conditioned? Some windows would not open as rusted. Given these maintenance issues, not value for money staying at this property.
