Disliked: Cleanliness
It was a great stay but not really happy with it overall.
Bugs always came in flying through out the night even with the windows closed. A possum came in through the sliding door climbing on the kitchen counter and it was nerve racking to deal with it, I was happy with how sascha messaged so quickly with any information I needed. There were bugs in one of the rooms but overall it was really peaceful,I did hate how my car had to pack a distance away from the accommodation knowing how the driveway was steep. It was okay but could do with a good clean outside with the spider webs, lawns and yeah! Thank you for having us.
