The inside of the home was nicely decorated, neat and clean, beds comfortable.
Unfortunately arriving on Christmas Eve at 5pm to find the fridge/freezer was switched off with warm bottles of mayonnaise etc inside was unhelpful as we had had a lot of food to cater for Xmas & Boxing Day celebrations. Being an old style fridge with an external element in hot conditions meant it took around 12 hours for it to reach its capacity cooling. My husband has done Fridge repairs as a business so knowing it would would be a slow process found an open business to purchase bags of ice.
The house has a reverse cycle air conditioning unit in the lounge area but unfortunately it was totally inadequate for the size of the house, it didn't even cool the lounge area. We used the fans from the bedrooms injunction to the aircon to circulate air & try keep things bearable as the temperatures over Xmas & Boxing Day were 39C & 40C.
The back outside area has a table, chairs and BBQ under a patio. It looked pleasant enough... but it took my husband a good 45 minutes to clear the substantial amount of cobwebs from...everywhere... around the fairy lights and beams, eves, frame of patio, even the pot plants. He cleaned the chairs, cushions & table from dirt & dust and sprayed and disposed at least a dozen spiders under the cushions of the chairs. Totally understand that cobwebs don't take long to re-establish themselves but given this the the main entertaining area (as there is only a very small table in the kitchen) we did think it would have been cleaned prior to our arrival and it was evident the area had not been cleaned for some time.
We moved some lounge furniture aside & brought in the table & chairs for our Boxing Day lunch.
The forementioned could be rectified without too much trouble to make other future customers stay a very pleasant one.
