Unfortunately with the listing name and description I expected a lot more for the price that we paid for our stay. We booked because we lead such busy lives being in business and were on our honeymoon. The description about the view at Randall's bay was exactly as described, the deck was beautiful but that is probably about were it ended for us.

Upon arrival I felt like I was taken back to the late 60's. The note that we were sent told us to bring supplies...if you like fishing this would also include bait because we drove for a further 40 minutes to get bait to fish with. The fishing in the bay was excellent.

My poor husband laid on the lounge in the late afternoon once we had no power (massive storm hitting the area which left us with no power for 19 hours, no water to drink, wash up or shower.) you would expect with an old lounge to be comfortable looking out the window at the bay but instead we are now travelling back to our home town in NSW and his legs are covered in bites that we can only presume where from fleas in the couch.

We were told were the supply of candles were, but this doesn't help you when the cooking facilities in a blackout do not work (well outdated stove!) and the BBQ is out in the open with no cover to try and provide yourself with a meal. A gas hot plate inside would've saved us, along with some way to draw water from the tanks to use, we could've at least then eaten, boiled a jug and had a wash. $150.00 per night is a rip off considering we stayed in many other places on and off the site and this place was by far the worst.

I spent 11 years on a farm, we have blackouts in our area but knowing our area I have gas appliances and a means to get water.

All of the beautiful produce we brought at Salamanca markets had to be discarded and we advised the owner in a note to completely empty the fridge because it all defrosted even our milk went sour....so no coffee or tea in the morning before we vacated.

Yes there was a storm that was not the owners fault but the house interior is aged, it was a disappointment for two people on their honeymoon. The owner didn't even contact us to ask us if we were ok. The neighbour came across to ask us if em knew were the candles were and to advise that we could be without power for quiet some time. Family and friends at home with fires burning our mobile phones flat and not even a battery operated radio for us to find out what was going on in its extreme. We didn't find out until we left.

I chose to write my review once home and calmer about our dissatisfaction.
