Wow, what a beautiful home…the moment you step into this property all stress you may have had rooooollllssss from your back like water! The view of the river, peaceful sound of waves crashing and bird life, brings a wonderful overall aura to the experience. All my guest could not stop talking about how amazing the house are, even the slippery water when taking a shower is a different experience all together!
The house got plenty of areas for people to sit and relax at, two balconies with large tables and seating…both lovely views of the river or garden. The fairy lights brings a nice touch to outdoor areas. Couches are to die for, so soft with plenty of space to stretch out on.
The kitchen – well equipped with everything you may need to make a feast with. I brought some bowls, cutlery and essentials along, but stayed in the bag, since I did not need to use it.
The bedrooms – firm mattresses, comfy bedding and can guarantee that a peaceful night sleep will be had here.
The bathrooms – beautiful and stylish, big with plenty of space. There are 3 in fact – 2 downstairs and 1 upstairs. Limited toilets downstairs, one and two upstairs, not a massive issue, but if you think that most of the guest (12) are stationed downstairs, it could become a situation in the morning. lol
Overall this property is a must stay and will highly recommend. One of the fanciest of all the other houses in the street which makes you feel a bit special.
However, unfortunately some cons did arise. Along with renting this property comes a massive list of house rules that were applied, I can fairly say that this were hanging over our heads like a dark cloud for the whole weekend. The bedding situation is overly confusing, meaning we had to bring our own fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillow cases. When arriving you are required to remove the provided house pillow cases and replace with your own, place fitted sheet and flat sheet on.

I was advised via private message to strip the beds in order for the cleaning staff to check if all house bed linen were there once we departed, which I have done, however I was strongly advised with stern words by the home owner to return the bedding onto the bed as found and were directed back to the photos on the website. This were a total unnecessary request which meant we had to return all bedding onto the bed only for the cleaning staff to take the bedding off to be washed again.
The sound system is a total disaster and is not as easy as instructed. It would have been much appreciated if the settings of the amplifier and auxiliary connection are checked prior of guests arriving, to prevent struggling and guests contacting the home owner for instructions - ending up throwing in the towel, since no one could assist in getting the sound system to work, which are disappointing.
Upon departing the guest are required to clean the house to the standard of receiving the house, which I find is poor, since a $100 cleaning fee are added to the final price. The $100 fee allows the cleaning staff to clean the house for 3 hours and if it took them longer, an additional cleaning fee will apply. You are expected to clean bins in bathrooms (which I forgot to do), wash glasses, unpack dishwasher and pull out the red/yellow bins to the curb. I ask what the cleaning staff is meant to do if the house should be left as found and additional house chores are required of guest to fulfill.

I understand that this is minor problems, but if asked to pay such a large amount to stay at this house, more lenience should be provided from the home owner. I find the asking price is five star but guest are placed under a thumb tack preventing guest to truly feel at home and are expected to work for staying at the house not the other way around.
Otherwise we had a wonderful time and created beautiful memories that will last for many years to come.
