Two out of five stars!
We just had a lovely three night stay at the Old Dunsborough Jetty View property, 08/06 - 11/06. I was there was my Mum and my elder Nana (just turned 85), the three of us were celebrating our birthday’s together. The apartment was very beautiful and in a stunning location.
However we did have a few issues that I feel you need to be aware of.
Three of the chairs at the dinning room table have large dangerous spikes of metal sticking out, one of them caught one on my favourite (and expensive) scarves and tore a hole in it. A cost I’m sure you are not interested in hearing about? We moved the chairs to the side of the room for safety and to protect any other clothes. Please see photos below.
The shower in the master ensuite. The shower head kept coming off the hose. This was very distressing and confusing for my Nana on the cold mornings we had. Also, the lights above to basin kept flickering whilst a nasty zapping sound was coming for the fuse box near the front door! Fire risk?
Double bed request. My Mum had asked that if there was any rooms with single beds that they be joined as there was three adults staying. This request was acknowledged via the air b’n’b app but had not been actioned on our arrival. Mum found this extremely disappointing, extremely uncomfortable and unfair. The mattress do not reflect the cost of the apartment at all.
Underfloor heating. The electronic control panel on the wall indicated that there was underfloor heating. This would have been ideal for our winter visit, however we could not manage to get it going. Mum did make contact via the phone number provided and left a message, but no one ever got back to her at all.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is very well equipped. The apartment was a great size and space. Mostly comfortable. Incredible location and view. However, we believe some maintenance and improvement are required for such a beautiful property to live up to the expectations that the advertised photos offer.
