THE RULES STATED SHE COULD NOT GET LOCAL CLEANERS, WHICH WE FOUND TOTALLY INCORRECT. WE SPOKE TO MANY LOCALS WHO SAID GETTING A CLEANER WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM, ITS MORE HOW MUCH THE OWNER WAS OFFERING FOR THE CLEANING JOB. I SUGGEST NOT ENOUGH.RULES ALSO STATED IT WAS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED EVERY 2 MONTHS?ITS NOT BEEN DONE FOR A LONG TIME, FROM GREASE ONTOP OF CONTAINERS IN KITCHEN, TO THE DIRT ON SKIRTING BOARDS IN THE BEDROOM ETC.WE ARE SENIORS WHO HAVE RENTED MANY PLACES, THIS IS THE WORST EVER.

"Well appointed property that could comfortably accomodate a large family group. Very comfortable beds. Really appreciated that it was off grid but with full range of appliances. Fabulous efficient combustion heater and west facing windows made this so cosy in winter. We loved the peace of the location in the middle of low native scrub, superb views of the bay, glorious sunsets and close to the many attractions of the Wild West coast of Eyre Peninsula. It was particularly special to be able to have our dog stay with us. "

"Very nice house with an awesome view! Had a great time! Communication with host was great and they were very friendly. Will definitely stay again! Can't recommend this place enough!"

"What an incredibly beautiful location with stunning views in absolute nature. A rare opportunity to sit on the deck overlooking the entire expanse of Venus Bay, viewing magnificent sunsets, whilst watching native birds and even spotting dolphins. Just magic! We will return! "

"We stayed at the Piccidilly cottage just for a night as we were driving through to Perth. It would have been good to enjoy the outback retreat for a couple of days. The best part was the Deep Space Observatory we got to enjoy completely free Thanks to PK Imaging it was an awesome experience we had . Hats off to his passion for Deep Space. The was the highlight of our stay."

"we had an amazing time away and will be coming back again we are so grateful for the staff and caravan park "
