Positive:
Huge big lovely house.
Comfy beds, couch, dining chairs.
Good owner communication.
The price was reasonable for 7 people and the time we stayed.
Good showers and hot water, body wash provided, and hand soap.
A/C for cooling and heating.
Some hangers in the cupboard to hang essentials and a full length mirror.
2 garage remotes, very handy when people are out separately and need to get back in the house.
The kitchen was well stocked enough with pots/pans, utensils, crockery and appliances for us to cook meals and detergent for handwashing dishes.
Not so positive:
House was not very clean; Of the 7 bathroom towels only one was stain free, although all smelt freshly washed; There was a pair of dirty underwear in the dryer; A high heel in the garage with the broken dining table setting and several pizza crusts; Ping pong balls outside; A pair of slides behind the main bedroom curtains and a huge hairball with them, also a battery in the bed under the sheet; Quite a lot of hair in the house, some woven into the towels; Balloon stubs left taped up on the curtain rails; Nearly every plate in the cupboard was dirty and the sponges had not been refreshed nor were there any dishwasher tablets, we had to wash the dishes to eat the first night with the sponge that was there; No salt & pepper (as stated in the ad) and the oil was literally a mm or two in the bottom of a bottle, not a big deal but worth noting because they are claimed to be provided.
No extra warm doonas, but there were a few blanket throws.
No washing powder for the washing machine.
Vacuum cleaner in the cupboard did not work (did not try the one in the garage).
One game console controller is not working, probably unknown by owner, but it's still there, so a bit disappointing for kids.
The Kmart iron in the house is not useable, it needs a clean or replacement, there's calcium build up in the steam holes and the soleplate is very bad, with these cheap irons it can happen after just a few uses though.
Owner delivered the 8th dining chair without warning, just knocked on the door.
Back sliding door was wide open upon our arrival (not an issue for us, unless someone had been inside the house when we arrived!).
There is a neighbour who plays very loud music until midnight most week nights, and played it until 2-3am on Saturday night - there is really not much anyone can do about this unless reporting it to police while staying there.
Overall:
It appeared that there had been a recent party that was not thoroughly cleaned up after, if the cleanliness issue was addressed we would happily stay here again, but the things mentioned above were pretty stressful on our arrival. The home is very big and comfortable for a large group and the beds were good compared to a recent place we stayed, very important for us as poor sleep can ruin your holiday. Just a few small tweaks would make this an excellent airbnb.
