Not maintained, poorly decorated, no privacy and host has no idea about hospitality!
Lawns not mowed, weeds growing in paved area, broken timber retaining wall left on the deck. Unsafe wobbly slippery stairs with no handrail to go down to the water. Guaranteed not complaint with Building Code of Australia.
Interior of studio over stuffed with old furniture.
Decor is terrible with old crappy decorations stuffed un-thoughtfully everywhere you look. So uncomfortable to be in the presence of that energy, could not relax!
Walkway has no light, very hard at night.
Owner had garage sale and access was blocked. His comment was: it's my house and I do whatever I want. Asked me to buy old crap 3 times, would you believe. Even though I politely thanked him and clearly told him that I am travelling light and do not wish to accumulate anything I don't need.
NO PRIVACY: unwelcome hellos as you are trying to walk past the side of the house. Had to hide! Random people been shown into the studio without prior permission. The excuse being: "Oh sorry, I didn't realise you were home". Didn't even bother to check.
Owner starts to play chess with his friends on the jetty, which is crearly marked as for private use of guests. This happens even before I have checked out! Robbing me of the one last opportunity to take in the nature before leaving.
Dirty unclean dishes. Tiny kitchen with hardly any bench space over-stuffed with old utensils. No proper sink to wash dishes.
Sliding doors very hard to operate.
Glass windows and sliding gdoors dirty.
Owner has no sensory acuity about guest's privacy. To top it up: very poor attitude!
Unless you wish to visit a haunted museum and have a terrible experience, don't go there!
