The location and close proximity to multiple stunning beaches and the West Cape Howe National Park is a true gem for this small self-contained apartment - unfortunately for us, this is largely where the positive experience ended. It is worth noting, this is not beach-front property as some of the images in the welcome pack could lead to believe, and a reasonably long walk to the national park and beach - a short drive recommended instead.
Kitchen was unclean upon arrival, utensils dirty and overall under-equiped compared to previous airbnb experiences - especially as the listing states 'fully equiped' and containing 'essentials'. There are no cleaning supplies except a dish cloth/sponge, and apart from sachets of salt/pepper/instant-coffee and a few packets of cereal - expect to bring your own cooking supplies, oil, cleaning sprays, tin-foil, baking trays, etc. There is no pantry space, as an FYI.
The main bathroom shower does not work, the shower-head is corroded and inoperable to shower under - it simply sprays water against the back wall. You'll need to use the ensuite bathroom instead which makes this listing during our stay less desirable. The plumbing is loud, not a deal-breaker by any means - but both toilets also have trouble flushing, which is a concern and points to a lack of maintenance at this apartment.
Secondary bedroom does not contain a queen bed as listed, it is two singles pushed together forming a double bed. Minor difference in overall size, but an inaccuracy in listing - again, would have considered elsewhere if we knew during booking.
The facilities on-site are showing their age, but are a welcome addition. However, the rec-room with table tennis and pool table is unclean and unkept. Thankfully we brought our own tennis rackets/table tennis equipment as the supplied is well overdue for replacement (as expected for a communal rec-room) and most of the rackets are broken/bent.
With a little maintenance and up-keep, this place would be a true gem in the area and something worth returning to. Unfortunately for us, this was not the experience we expected - and we left feeling disappointed.
