Warning, if you don’t like lizards and spiders in the house and walking past water dragons on the way in and out of the air bnb then this place isn’t for you.
The place was clean and well laid out however on our first night there was a huntsman stuck inside one of the main doors. Ian was quiet rude when we asked him to remove the spider (not knowing it was a huntsman until it bit him) advising us we were in the tropics. We later discovered that evening that lizards (not water dragons) were able to easily come inside the house via the two main doors (this was when they were locked) and via some of the widows. There were also lizards sitting on the outside of the windows every evening as soon as the sun set. For several days and nights we have a lizard living inside of the house. Prior to staying at the air bnb we had read a review where a guest had mentioned there were water dragons in the garden. We raised some concerns over this with Hilary prior to our stay as this was not listed in the description of the property and we were not very comfortable having lizards so close to the house. Hilary was exceptionally rude in her response stating the water dragons were all over Byron including in town (this was not the case) and didn’t think to mention that we would also get lizards in the house.
We did not see any reason to raise our concern regarding the lizard living inside the house during our stay given Hilary and Ian’s response to our previous concerns over the wildlife. As a result we ended up leaving 2 nights early and felt like we wasted the $3k we paid for the property for 6 nights.
If the listing had mentioned the water dragons, spiders and lizards coming inside the house at night we would have never decided to stay at this property. I would never come back to this property and would highly recommend anyone staying here is comfortable with having wildlife in the house 24/7 and dealing with snobby and rude hosts.
