Cleanliness: EXTREMELY POOR and disappointing. It’s clear that the cleaning fee charged is just an additional fee that the owners pocket instead of actually using.
The couches are visibly dirty. First thing I did when we can was give the couches a clean and do a rough sweep around the couch. Crumbs were still on the floor and there are dried up BLOOD stains all over the pavement outside and decking. I had to even clean a few spots of blood off of the floor inside. They’ve also got a notice in the kitchen saying that an additional cleaning fee will be charged if the dishes aren’t done and placed back in the cupboard.
We left the property cleaner than we had found it.
Communication: Direct which I’m happy with however don’t expect any show of hospitality or expect to feel welcomed
Kitchen: Do have simple essentials as well as things like vegemite for those who choose to use it. Bin liners too small for the bin so you end up having to stretch it resulting in it tearing.
Toiletries: Very basic, only hand soap and thin towels
Bed: comfy enough bed however the bed is more like a double than a queen. Pillows don’t offer much support so you wake up with a sore neck
Portacot: Not set up despite advising the property manager prior to arriving that we’d require one. Looked old and gross so my husband had to do a 1hr round trip to Busselton at 8:30pm to get one before the shops had closed.
The house in itself is large enough for a family to share however its a transportable house so it’s very loud when walking around
Location: Not a lot all day restaurants in local proximity however Margaret river and Dunsborough are just a half hour drive. Cafe and restaurant nearby as well as a chocolate shop. Beautiful view of the dam from inside the house and deck.
All in all there are so many amazing properties down south with lovely hosts that I would stay at next time instead of here. It’s a shame that the state of cleanliness is so shockingly poor and the property manager doesn’t welcome any business. I really wanted to like this place and make it our go to getaway spot but there’s really nothing drawing us back.
I would never consider coming back here given the shocking state of cleanliness.
