This place has the potential of being a very special place. Communication was very prompt at first, so we easily found our way to the property. So far so good. When we arrived around 9pm, the windows and door had been left open till then, so the place was cold. The bedcovers were very thin however, and there were only 2 extra small fleece blankets present in the room - just not enough given how cold it had become inside. We woke up a couple of times during the night because of the cold. The second night was better for me (we had now kept everything shut during the day), but my partner still woke up a couple of times from the cold. Immediately upon entering for the first time, my partner and I both experienced a strong allergic reaction (wheezing, blocked sinuses)- we are both allergic to dust. Never experienced this before in an airbnb. Upon checking the next day, we noticed quite a lot of dust next to the wooden bedframe, in corners, under the clothing rack, on the objects on the ladder, on the night tables - including visible stains of past guests' drinks. Doesn't seem like the room had a deep clean for quite some time. We then also noticed the barbecue was covered in a thick layer of mould/crystals and pots and pans were greasy. Nothing there to clean them. We sent a message at 1pm to Kieran to ask whether this could be fixed for dinner or not. He responded quickly that he would check it, but only by 4 since it was busy. By 4.30 we hadn't heard any new updates and the barbecue really had been disgusting so we weren't sure it could be cleaned properly enough to eat from, so we returned to the property without any meats or veg. By 5.30 Kieran returned it cleaned, but by that time it was really too late to go and look for food as it was soon getting dark (30 min drive one way). We hence survived the night on crackers and cheese. Not quite what we expected. By 8 party music started blasting through the woods from elsewhere on the domain, until late. We had driven 3 hours from Sydney to enjoy the peace and quiet in the woods, but found ourselves having to wear earplugs to read, and later sleep. For only 265 dollars per night! The joke was on us I guess. We did enjoy the fact that there were many books, Kieran is very friendly and if better maintained the place could be lovely.
