Nice location but House needs an update for the price.
No toilet paper was left in either bathroom, beds were that uncomfortable that I slept on the lounge, no air con and bbq wasn’t in the best state. Location is great.

This was a good property for our large family. There were enough beds for all and space to hang out. The kitchen was adequate, the fridge a little small for us but we coped. There was a second fridge in the garage for drinks that was handy. The bathrooms were good and the property was clean and tidy on arrival. The yard was plenty big for our pug who had a great time exploring in the bushes.

We were driving from QLD for a family funeral and I asked could we check in early so we could freshen up. The rental agency were so amazing and let us in 3 hours early. The accommodation was very clean and location was in great walking distance to restaurants. The kitchen was full of everything we needed. Fill size fridge. No aircon but all rooms are equipped with good fans. The mattress need replacing as they are not that comfortable.

6 males from qld, house is a little dated but was more than adequate for us.A couple of draws damaged in the kitchen but otherwise fairly good. Our biggest problem was the tv, there were only a very limited number of channels available, not sure how old it is but we could not get any footy channels. We will re book for next year but having the tv checked or replaced would be great.

Great location. A nice house but was lacking some TLC. One of the kitchen drawers front was missing and there were a few staple kitchen items that were not available like measuring cups, wooden spoons and mixing bowls. But the stay was lovely and my whole family enjoyed it. The big rumpus room was great so all the kids could sleep in the same room and spend time with their cousins telling stories and listening to music before bed. Would definitely stay there again

Reviewer Comments:
This house perfectly accommodated myself, family and friends for our recent getaway.Plenty of fridge/freezer storage. Huge backyard, fully fenced property with an incredible location. All within walking distance to the bowls club, beach and Em's thai.Comfortable beds with 2 toilets and 2 showers. An older home with older furniture, however it was clean and presentable and much less stressful with younger children.Property manager was extremely easy to deal with and check in/out was smooth too.We will be back for sure.
The location of the property was second to none unfortunately the property itself is quite unkept. The fridge seals are completely full of mould We put nothing in there due to the state of it
The kitchen is missing several drawer faces.
Quite expensive for the two days when there are other locations around for similar price and pristine conditions
Extreme rules around the home we were met with 10 Marlborough cigarette butts put out on the ground but told no smoking allowed at the premises
We came all the way from Brisbane and we emailed and text several times to say no linen was provided so needed to make extra room in our vehicle for all the linen to find the whole home was equipped with linen
Your check-in and checkout times for people travelling interstate are not the best and when we communicated back to the Property Manager to see if we could check in earlier as you advise we can we were met with a text that told us strictly no times would be changed
It was an experience using this platform for this home, but we certainly would go with one of the better options at the big four or Shoreline for the same price

Reviewer Comments:
When we first arrived, we found the house to be in a disgusting state of cleanliness. It was obvious that it had not been cleaned since the previous stay. There was sand underfoot, dust and hair all along the skirting boards, dead bugs in the pantry and a dead frog under the bathroom sink. We also found old and outdated food in the pantry along with in the closets. There was mold growing on the curtains in the downstairs bathroom. There were also old shaving razors on the hot water heater. There was lint, hair and dust on the door snake. When I reached out via text I was given a response and apology and told my issues would be sent to the manager. I also called and left a message.
