Pros:
- Nice view
- Quiet area
- Wallabies visit at dawn and dusk
Cons:
- Fridge was unbearably loud, we had to turn it off, which meant we couldn't make use of the nice kitchen.
- The living area gets very hot during the day and takes hours to cool down, even with AC. One day we left with the blind down and AC set to 25°c to keep the property reasonably cool. We returned to find the blinds open and AC turned off. I can only assume the owner accessed the property while we were away.
- Lights, blinds, aircon, and speakers were all turned on and off without us doing so. My guess is that the host was doing it using the smart home system. It may have been an automated system.
- There is a smart doorbell with video feed that monitors your coming and going.
- Balcony door is very difficult to open. It has a broken handle and desperately needs oil, and cleaning.
- Front door jams in a way that prevents the smart lock from working. Sometimes making it so that we either couldn't lock, or couldn't unlock the door.
- Hallway shower lock automatically engages and is difficult to unlock from the inside.
- In general the place must have once been gorgeous but it needs maintenance.
