Lucy’s place is cool and has some great features. It’s an authentic old Creso shack with nice modern bathrooms and a great kitchen sans microwave, however the cleanliness of the place was really disappointing. The place generally needs a thorough clean. Despite no pets being allowed to stay, there was pet hair throughout the shack. There should be a mention of pets having been in the house in the description so allergy sufferers are aware of this before booking.
We had to give the fridge a proper clean when we arrived (after removing all the food that had been left behind) before we could put our food in it, as it was so dirty. The thin translucent curtains in the front bedroom were also filthy. There were no curtains at all on two of the windows in the back bedroom. This is great if you enjoy waking up with the sun (and the shack is beautifully light, as mentioned in the description), but it offers minimal privacy from neighbours.
The shack is close to everything so walking around is easy, but it is on the main road so we were woken early by traffic (bin trucks, busses) well before the sun streamed in. The lack of comfortable outdoor furniture was disappointing; there are no sun loungers, hammocks or recliners to enjoy the large garden and awesome pizza oven.
Two bikes have been provided, but only one helmet for some reason. With a good clean, proper curtains and comfortable outdoor places to relax, this could be a great place to stay.
