Jacqui was very sick with the flu during my stay.
I wish she had told me that as I would have changed my accomodation
She picked me up from the airport coughing and wheezing and when I tried to wind down the window as I was afraid of catching the sickness she told me I can’t as it’s too cold for her.
Jacqui seemed very nice and chatted through the drive
Her other guests were lovely
The accomodation was not what I expected or was presented in the photos.
The kitchen was without water there were no counter tops and most of the time there were dirty dishes piled everywhere
Jacqui explained they were in the middle of a renovation.
But she did not tell me that before I booked or before I arrived.
I was hoping to cook some of my food to kero my costs down but instead had to eat out constantly.
Also I was not told do all future travellers understand this city had no Ubers
Jacqui was very nice to drop me most places I wanted to go however because she was so sick I didn’t want to knock on her door and ask.
Still she got up and did it even while she was coughing a lot and quite sick.
I felt for her but I was also worried about getting sick
She didn’t even wear a mask in the car and I was allowed to wind down the window as she says it was too cold for her.
The living room was piled high with boxes and plastic tubs and quite messy
There bird seed on the floor
The courtyard was run down
I didn’t feel like I could fully relax there
My room was ok but at night I could smell some mould abs the lamp provided when turned on sparked and didn’t work so the overhead bright light wax too intense.
Bed was comfy but again it was not a relaxing room
During my stay Jacqui entered my room without my permission to get a damp towel off my bed as I had accidentally left it there on the bed. She explained
While I understand her motives I felt like it was an intrusion of privacy
After the first night of my stay I hardly saw jacqui she was most of the time in her bed quite sick.
I felt if I knocked yo ask her any questions that I was disturbing her so I didn’t
Overall I didn’t feel comfortable anywhere in her house unfortunately
I suspect some of these things occurred because of the recent floods andJacqui being sick and all
But I think Jacqui shouldn’t have new guests there unless she is well or appoints another person to take care of the guests
I think she should have let me know thst the kitchen was under renovation before I came and she should have had someone else drive me places so as not to expose me to her sickness
For most of my stay she didn’t wear a mask so I would say please for the comfort of your guests wear a mask especially if they are in a car with you and you’re not allowing them to wind the window down.
I felt the way Jacque spoke to me to be quite rough and sharp at times Jacqui wax also abit impatient in her manner at times it made me feel really uncomfortable
It felt like she didn’t like me
When I went to take a shower there were scrawled on the wall with a marker
4 minute showers only.
I think if I’m paying $90 a night I should be able to take longer showers abs just this sign meant I didn’t feel like I could have a good relaxing shower
I don’t think that’s appropriate and maybe they should purchase a larger hot water system if they have shortages.
Overall I felt quite unwelcome at your house and wished I had chosen other accomodation unfortunately
I don’t like to write bad reviews but I feel I must be truly honest about my stay.
I hope jacqui will take my thoughts on board to provide a better experience fir future guests and all a good business owners should values good feedback
