Unfortunately I can’t say much if anything positive about this stay. We had to stay here for 14 days quarantine upon entry to WA, so we needed a place that was clean, comfortable and cosy. The listing promised all this but unfortunately did not deliver, the place smelled badly musty, overpoweringly so, obviously hadn’t been aired adequately. It was also incredibly dirty and grimy, with cobwebs everywhere and dirty marks over the walls.
The rug in the lounge had pet hair all over it as did the kitchen chair cushions, we asked for a vacuum to clean it ourselves but were told ‘we only have one vacuum cleaner,’ and to ‘make do with the broom’. The sofa was stained with dirt and was not clean and bright as per the photos. Probably the worst thing was that the bed linen and doona/duvets were not clean and had no mattress or pillow protectors. We had to wash it ourselves and in doing so found the duvets were quite disgusting, yellow with all kinds of stains on them.
The microwave was dirty and broken, as was the washing machine, there was mould in the bathroom. There were no drinking glasses supplied. The ‘antique’ chair in the listing photos from the living room was in fact ready for the tip with sharp springs hanging dangerously from the bottom, we have two children under 5 so this was an issue.
These issues were raised with Peter or Roland but communication stopped until we complained to Airbnb.
The location is great and initially Peter did bring a high chair and throws to cover the sofa which we asked for.
We ended the stay after the 14 days quarantine and were refunded the remaining 10 that we had booked.
The fact that hosts are making lots of money from this listing and can’t be bothered to get it professionally cleaned in the midst of a pandemic is inexcusable. We noticed the cleaning being done by one of the hosts (they have a studio at the back also on Airbnb) who is an elderly man, this is why the place is in a bad way.
Anyone considering this listing should look elsewhere.
