So it all started with us checking into this beautiful property but soon my family and me were struck with a wave of disappointment.
1. Such a beautiful house but it’s a shame that it was maintained so poorly, cobwebs everywhere, dirty utensils, all expired products including the salt and pepper. No basic facilities at all.
2. It was a cold night and we wanted to light up the fireplace. There was no fire starter and no equipment to light it up. Upon informing the owner, I got a reply saying, ‘you can walk it 25min to the city to collect some fire starters’. Not acceptable at all. The fireplace should not have been advertised at all so that we could have been prepared.
3. The horror continued…. The listing advertised a BBQ and so we prepared for the same. Found no BBQ. Owner told us that she had forgotten to take it off the listing.
4. We hunted for over half an hour to look for the light switches for the bathroom, drawing room but could not find it and guess what, we called the owner. The reply, ‘it can be tricky to find the light switches around the house’. Was a complete joke
5. My family and me to change our mood when out for dinner, and after coming back we’re locked out for over 40 min as the main door would not open. Finally just before calling, “THE OWNER”, we pushed the door real hard and it finally opened.
What we thought would be a nice night to have before we start exploring tassie in a motor home, turned out be a the worst night in Tasmania.
The owner was kind enough to refund us $80 which was really appreciated, but paying $288 for the accomodation we felt completely cheated.
With changes made to the place I’m sure this could be a very nice BnB providing the right experience for anyone.
All the best Lucy :)
