Negatives:
Firstly I want to point out that communication and check in was very poor. I called the real estate as soon as I booked and couldn’t get through. When they called me back I asked if earlier check in was possible, I was told to call a couple days before. Then when I did I was told to call on the day. It was frustrating being told different things.
Checking in was a mess even though I called the real estate to confirm the procedure, gave my details and everything so they knew which property I was staying at. But they still got me to drive to the real estate, and then when I arrived they told me the keys were at the property. It added an extra 45mins after a long road trip. They didn’t even bother to talk me through the instructions or give me any warnings just told me I’d get an email. Which I never did so I had to call again... when I arrived the alarm system went off.
Fair enough the description says no linen or towels but we at least expected a kitchen tea towel especially because there was a bathroom towel. Kitchen equipment like pans/pots/plates weren’t cleaned properly. The stove/oven is electric and literally took 2-3 hours to roast veggies and an apple pie.
FYI: There was also a camera on the backyard patio deck which I believe should be written in the description as this can be uncomfortable when you’re trying to sun bath or if you have children.
Positives:
The house was generally tidy. The sun room was beautiful and a great hang out spot. The patio deck had a lot of sunlight. The backyard was lovely with a hammock (you have to tie up but is simple) and lake view was gorgeous! There’s a coles/plaza and beach about 20 mins or so away.
Suggestions:
Tea Tree Garden should provide kayaks perfect for the lake or bring your own!
