Basic accommodation but in a great location. If you're not wanting to spend too much on self contained accommodation the unit has the basics for a family stay.
First time using Airbnb - we were told reception was open until 6pm, we arrived at 6:05 only to find reception closed at 5pm. Tried calling the host, no answer, text, emails sent etc plus called the on-site manager (no response) - 1.5 hours later after worrying we were sleeping in our car that night we received a response that keys were left in a box at the front. Disappointed that after driving 7 hours from Perth poor instructions on check in & delayed response from host. Not the best start to our trip. Advert stated host works on-site & that someone is available 24hrs/day to let guests in which is incorrect - so we thought we were dealing with a local that if there were any issues, we would be assisted. (FYI: there is no phone reception for at least 40 minutes before arriving to the town).
