2/10 Terrible

RosemaryGould, Adelaide

Travelled with family
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
This was an extremely disappointing property. It was rundown, outdated, (unnecessary clutter everywhere), unclean and in poor condition, inside and out. The cleanliness of the kitchen, with musty cupboards, dirty dishcloths, unclean cutlery and filthy fridge and BBQ was a disgrace. The precarious shower over the bath was an extreme safety issue and should be addressed with at least one safety rail. Considering we were quoted, via email $330.00 for two nights and then charged $444.00, for the two nights, added further grist for our very unhappy stay. The entire property needs a significant update with modern facilities and appliances to bring it in line with similar industry standards.

Darren, Melbourne, VIC

Travelled with partner
Liked: Amenities
Water tank ran dry on the first night of a 4 night stay, so pump broke and needed repair so no running water for a day. Offer of compensation (a couple of bottle wines to be dropped off) never arrived, nor did any further communication. Ideal property for a couple, great town but left to find another option next time.
