We stayed in the top floor unit. There was 4 people who stayed in this house, all adults 31 - 53 age group.
We found the house neat enough and fresh with plenty of natural daylight inside.
There was plenty of cooking utensils and some generic condiments in the pantry salt,pepper, glad wrap, foil etc...
We loved the louvre windows, so old school but a really fresh touch.
The washing machine was also very convenient to have there although a bit awkward to access with the kitchen table blocking off the cupboard laundry in the kitchen space.
The beds were really comfortable not a single complaint from any of us, they were really good. However an extra blanket would have been nice as it was quite cold overnight & early morning.
The shower door had a big crack in it which stops the shower door from closing properly along with the water not draining properly from the plug hole. To have a shower you’d have to turn the shower on, then off whilst you soap n shampoo up let-the water drain out then turn the shower back on wash off etc...2or 3 times throughout the shower you’d have to turn it on n off to allow water to drain otherwise it ended up flooding the bathroom etc!
The noise from the airport behind the house seemed to echo through the house like the planes were taking off from the lounge room. It was very noisy, as was the road noise etc. at night time the noise was like it was right in the house, streetsweeper, rubbish collection truck, planes, cars racing in the street etc....very noisy!
The garage was great to have the shut down roller door so you could get the car off the street - this was a good idea.
The lock up, fenced off yard was great even though it was a shared yard with the downstairs unit, good if you have small children to keep them in the yard.
We found Garbutt to be in between the places we wanted to be - Bushland Beach & Townsville Strand. Location was good for us with IGA a stones throw away.
Overall there were things we were ok with and some we weren’t!
