Did we enjoy our stay? Well, we were certainly looking forward to it. Unfortunately, events conspired against us. Specifically, Covid 19. That meant we had to abandon our plans and return home just a few days into our trip, but well before we actually arrived at Shute Harbour. We never actually got within cooee of there.
We didn’t just fail to show up, though. No. We gave the venue, and Stayz, plenty of notice that we weren’t coming. And the reason.
Their reaction? “Oh dear, how sad.”
The venue was really quite sincere in their commiseration.
Stayz, on the other hand, plainly didn’t give even a good old-fashioned tinker’s cuss.
Did they refund our money?
No. Not one, red cent.
Did they offer to let us re-book at a later date? They did not.
Maybe that’s the way it is in the wonderful world of Covid. Whatever, we will not be hurrying back to do business with Stayz any time soon. Their sort of avaricious, couldn’t-care-less attitude to doing business brings not only Stayz but also the entire industry into disrepute.
Caveat emptor, I guess.
