4/10 (1 review)
Overall, the home is large and spacious and is located across the road from a great park. Due to the size of the home, it does feel quite empty as it only had the basic couch and dining table. Beds were comfortable and each room had its own bathroom, however, it’s not possible to have more than 2 hot showers at the same time. Some key issues to note:
1. Home cinema projector is broken and does not work- I stayed for a full week and reported it on the first day. Despite support being available, it appeared that the owner did not want to fix it.
2. The ducted air conditioning has a mind of its own. No matter what temperature you set, it will not do it. One night it’s 27 degrees (sweating) another night it’s 16 degrees (freezing). Insane.
3. Smart TV’s are 9 years old and struggle to connect to the home Wi-Fi network
4. The home wifi is 25mbps speed, nowhere near fast enough for a house this large suited for 10 guests

9.2/10 Wonderful! (208 reviews)
The property is in a good location for accessing the city and surrounding areas. The rooms are a bit tired looking and beds are very hard for our tastes
