Nice Stay

Excellent location, short walking distance to the beach and the main street. Kids loved the pool and spent most of their time there, although it could get quite crowded at times with all the other guests. House was overall comfortable and quite lovely, however cleanliness could have been better. In particular the couches were quite frankly disgusting, they had stains all over them and a large amount of dust and crumbs in between the seats. Bring your own pillows as the ones provided are very flat.

Will be talked about for all the wrong reasons!!

Couldn’t check in until 3 hrs after check in time because cleaners hadn’t cleaned aft previous tenants. Garage door was broken. Sign on balcony door said we couldn’t use balcony. Within 2 hours the fridge started tripping all power. We had 7 ppl living out of 2 small eskies as we were without a fridge for 3 days. Property Mgr (Bernadette) was responsive but it will go down as one of those holidays we talk about for all the wrong reasons.
