Disliked: Cleanliness
Uncomfortable
This property was not clean. Massive dead flies everywhere. In container that you pulled out to plug in devises and on window ledges that have not been wiped over for a long time . There is only one split system in the lounge room and this cooling is insufficient. A one point it dropped a huge climb of ice onto one of the guests sitting on the couch . On really hot days this so called ‘Eco friendly ‘ home is not so eco friendly because the two main doors in the dining area that need to open up to allow the sea breeze through- Do not open! The bedrooms have ceiling fans but this is not enough to allow you to have a good night sleep on your holiday.. The so called guest house that sleeps 6 people ( 4 bunks with 2 trundle beds) is a hot house . There is no way 6 people can sleep here with such extreme hot heat.It is like a furnace. Although the sheets were clean the actual doona in the room I was staying in had yellow stains on it which made me feel uncomfortable. The hammock was filthy so you could not bring it out to enjoy it. The property also needs to have another refrigerator as there is just enough room for food and nothing else . All our drinks needed to be stored in our eskies ( lucky we bought these). The food items in the pantry (that belong to the owners )need to be placed in a locked up cabinet and out of the visitors way so that we can have room to place our items and not mix them up . We had to move them to the top shelves only to discover that these shelves needed to be seriously cleaned in order to put down our items . By the end of the 7 days the pool needed a clean especially with 12-14 people using it constantly. Either a pool maintenance man should visit or instructions need to be stated for chemicals to be top up . Overall the space and location is great if you don’t want to swim in the beach . If a home is to accommodate so many people then it’s facilities need to be maintained to a high level . We would not hirer this house again.
