Ideal for a quick trip

We stayed for one night. It was a good size for our family and one of the more child friendly places we’ve stayed. It would have been great to have some soap and a smart tv or dvd player so we could watch the amazing collection of movies.

Ok place but not very clean and poorly kept. Little attention to detail. Bring your own toilet paper and tea/coffee supplies. Wifi doesn’t work. Was fine for an overnight stopover.

Not good.

Not central to the city, dirty and uncomfortable. Wifi didn’t work, host contacted but nothing fixed. Very basic to the point of no soap or dishwashing detergent in the house.

Basic accomodation

There were a few issues with the house that could do with some attention; there was no shampoo, conditioner, hand soap or dishwashing liquid. The kitchen tap wouldn’t turn properly & was running on the bench, the toilet door couldn’t close and 2/3 beds were so uncomfortable that we had to sleep on the floor. The towels also didn’t smell clean. I mentioned these things to the host but haven’t heard back.

Ballarat house

I don't really have anything positive to say about this house except that it was cheap, especially for a three-bedroom place. If you just want somewhere basic to spend the night without paying much, it fits the bill. The house is undecorated and didn't feel or look clean. The TV is really small and in a corner of the big living room so it felt like you needed a telescope to watch it from the sofa. The toilet hadn't been cleaned before our arrival, there was no toilet paper, someone had left a wet towel in the washing machine, and the towels on the bed were damp.The towel hooks in the bathroom must have snapped off at some point in the past. I think the owner should do some repairs and decorating and try to make the place "cosy", as it is advertised. Probably the worst place I've every stayed.

Cleanliness of Property

The house has great potential but the oven was filthy with greasy trays and obviously hadn't been cleaned for a long time. Some of the dishes and glasses were dirty - lipstick marks on glasses. No big bowls for salad. No tea, coffee or small milk. The tiles had mould in the grout. I can see that the house is being done up and the potential could be so good but the cleanliness in the kitchen wasn't good. We couldn't get the dvd player to work. Very disappointed in having to pay $388 for what we got and then having to wash all the dishes and cutlery. Plus the towels were old. Doubt if we would stay again. I messaged owner and no response.

Disappointed

The property was not at all what was presented in the photos, and description. Garden area maintained but house not.Toilet door unable to close. No rails on main bathroom. Kitchen not clean.Kitchen cupboards and laundry filthy. Kitchen bin mouldy on bottom when changing bin liner. Fridge reasonably clean. Minimal utensils for cooking. Pots that were there were rusted and buckled. Bed linen had stains especially in front room, mattress in that room when checked was extremely stained and smelt musty. Did not appear to be fresh linen.House had an overall musty smell on entering. Rug in lounge curled up on edges, as had my elderly Father with us this was an extreme trip hazard. Lounge stained. No toilet paper or soap as said was provided.Wifi was not working, information provided to pick up network did not work. No number a available only name Paige to contact Manager.
