Unfortunately, this was a horrible experience. The host lied on the listing claiming there was 2 x Queen beds. They were actually smaller double beds. When my wife questioned the host, he was dismissive and then angry with us for pointing this out. I have neck and back medical issues meaning I toss and turn a bit when sleeping and don't want to disturb my wife. We rarely book any place with less than Queen beds. I was so upset I didn't even want to speak to him, and I'm glad I didn't judging by the way he spoke to my wife, and it was very uncomfortable to stay there for a couple more days after talking to him. Being Easter, it was a couple of days before we found another place. We also didn't appreciate his two aggressive dogs who went underneath the ( supposed secure for dogs) fence, barking at us, and scaring our 5 month old puppy who was reluctant to leave the verandah afterwards. If you can't provide secure fencing, A. I think you should warn people, and B. Secure your own dogs.
Other inaccuracies: Mobile reception listed as "limited". It's actually " non-existent "
"Gravel Roads to property". Yes, 11kms one way to them. Glad we had our Subaru AWD SUV with us. Be aware of this.
Property was disappointingly maintained, we counted at least 4 light globes not working and the other lights were very dim. A dirty stained dish wash cloth provided. All places we've been often provide new ones. My wife had to bleach it before we could use it. Also not mentioned: toilet is actually outside the house, it's under cover but you either have to walk down the hall, past the lounge, through the kitchen and then through the outside verandah OR through two connected bedrooms, then the outside verandah. Would be a bundle of fun in winter. Front door lock does not work externally, only internally. The only way to lock the house when leaving, was to lock the inside of the front door, and then walk right through the house ( ie kitchen, lounge, hall, 3 bedrooms etc) exiting one of the connecting rooms which has a working lock. We brought all our food, ready to cook, being a rural property, but basics like pepper and glad wrap not even provided. No instructions left regarding issues like how to secure the house properly, work the TV, or to get any of this “ limited” reception. We took photos to document everything including us measuring the double beds, and screenshots of the listing. Advised host we were leaving who then ignored all our messages. ( More screenshots) We tried to cancel our booking, being promised 50% of the remaining nights, and the host continued to ignore messages. We eventually went through the AirBNB resolution centre and the host said, " Nothing I can do, you will have to go through AirBNB , good luck, not sure how you will go changing your mind". Well, we DID receive our money due back to us, no thanks to the host who wasn't interested. Thanks at least to AirBNB who did the right thing.
Overall, we realise this is a working farm, however, this property is supposed to be set up as an AirBNB for guests, and it falls far short of providing the necessary comfort or privacy. We’ve stayed at dozens of places, including many rural properties, and this is right at the bottom of the list. Certainly, would not recommend this place at all.
