The photos depicted a hinterland sanctuary and in terms of location, this place delivered.
The room was neat and tidy, but did come with some surprises that weren’t shown in photographs (ie. a hospital shower & toilet complete with handrails) which were weird at best, a little gross and obscure at worse.
The property has great potential but is lacking on little luxuries you would expect for the price point & 5 star location that is found in other Airbnb’s locally with the same price point.
Towels were aged, thinning and rough, a half bottle of shower gel soap combined with a half burnt out candle on the back deck table were just some details that let the place down in terms of overall experience. Potential l to be a great Airbnb.
The kitchenette is basic but does the job, although some fresh matching wine glasses wouldn’t go astray (2 mismatched glasses again let the place down in terms of what the photos promised and what the experience delivered).
Edward was friendly and responsive and check in was smooth - although details only provided literally minutes before check in opened. This is likely due to people trying to check in early so no issue but just something to be aware of if you’re driving to this location to ensure address is available prior.
Overall if you were looking for a basic cabin with a 5 star / million dollar view, this will tick the box.
We had an enjoyable time in spite of the few minor details that weren’t what we expected as we ubered into town & enjoyed ourselves, returning to the cabin only to sleep.
We didn’t spend as much time in the room as a result of the cabin not meeting up to the photos. Be warned also some very noisy roosters live on property
