To be completely honest, our stay was very disappointing and the house was a massive let-down. I hate to write this review, but I need to as I booked it for my family holiday over Easter and everyone was disappointed with the choice of home.
Firstly, the photos of the pool and outdoors in the advertisements are misleading and not how the property was for our stay.. The pool is considerably smaller in real life and it’s completely overlooked by the neighbouring home with full length windows right above the pool area and builders on the new deck working. The advertisements reads “private home”, but it isn’t as there is no privacy.
Other items needing to be addressed;
The BBQ is a baby weber. This is not adequate for a 4 bedroom house and 8 guests
Not enough pegs for the clothesline. There are 10 working pegs, the rest are brittle, old and broken. This was not adequate for a 7 night stay for 8 guests (including 2 children)
There are not enough bowls to eat from for the number of guests, one night we had to use saucepans as bowls for 3 guests as there are not enough bowls
The toaster is broken and only cooks on one side
The internal fridge is not cooling and not fixed. The trade put a spare fridge in the garage, but you shouldn’t have to walk to the garage to access a main fridge
The back fence and gate were never fixed, there is still rope around it which is very dangerous, especially for children with the big drop from the deck
The main bathroom drain was blocked with a cap which the plumber suggested had been there since the renovations to that bathroom
To sum it up, this home is not to a standard fit for a holiday rental stay. These items should have been fixed and addressed by the agent prior to our stay.
I hope the agent and the owners take this feedback onboard and no further guests waste their time and money or are disappointed like we were.
The agent has replied and said the maintenance we advised them of will be done and new photos taken prior to the next guests staying here, hopefully it happens. Doesn't help in anyway make our stay or family holiday memories change. Response from agent after our stay regarding this was very disappointing also.
