Adalene-56 Phillip Drive, South West Rocks

8/10 Good
"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Adalene house is amazing. We love it. We’ve been 3 years in a row now. The house and location is absolutely perfect. However, this time I felt the quality of amenities and cleaning had dropped off a bit. It felt like there had been a fair few weeks since someone stayed there as there were cobwebs on the outdoor furniture, bird poo on the outdoor table (which was also covered in a fair layer of dust). The gas stove need to be replaced, as the temperature/gas flow between Low and High doesn’t change. Very hard to cook."
