To say that we were disappointed would be an understatement. This property presents more like like 2 star motel than a cosy airbnb. Our first reaction upon entering was that the property was impersonal and detached with no home comforts.
The first things we noted was the lack of handsoap in the bathroom, Cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and a broken towel rail. The bedrooms were without doona covers, just dirty doonas covered by a sheet. The base sheets were old and scratchy, not exactly what you want for a relaxing time away.
As we unpacked the food we had brought with us we noted that the items left in the pantry were expired, some dating back to 2015.
There was no heating as advertised, only the fire that was without any kindling or a lighter/matches. As we don't smoke we had to go and purchase a lighter and my partner had to chop some kindling so we could light the fire.
Sadly the photo of the view was either not taken from this property or was taken some time ago before trees had grown.
We did contact LJ Hooker within an hour of checking in and Julie did attend to deliver handsoap, a heater (that sadly didn't even heat a bedroom let alone the living area) and remove the expired items in the pantry.
The property was without a lot of the items noted under amenities on the listing so recommend you don't rely on items being available for use. Cleaning items such as spray and wipe (empty one in cupboard), scrubbing brush for dishes would have been appreciated.
Not the way we wanted to end what had been a fabulous holiday when basic items would have made a vast improvement - doona covers, couch cushions, a lighter, etc.
The property is also in direct need of a proper clean and not just a quick once over between guests. The amount of dust and bugs under couches, beds etc is certainly not acceptable.
In conclusion, we would definitely not recommend this property to anyone. You can definitely feel the difference between an owner who manages their own airbnb with care and consideration for their guests and one managed by a real estate.
