The house itself was ok - clean and a good location in Coles Bay however it is older and definitely overpriced for what it is - an un-renovated standard home from the 70s/80s. Some basic maintenance to the house and particularly yard wouldn't hurt - had not been mown in ages, old chairs left sitting around and washing line falling apart.
The reason for my negative review (I don't normally do reviews!) is the communication from Stephen. After the stay he demanded an extra $120 for 'excessive cleaning fees' of having 4 extra guests because according to him all beds (in 3 bedrooms) were slept in?? Apparently his cleaner/spy had spotted an extra car at the property so this obviously meant we had 4 extra guests?? I was shocked to receive this request as we had left the house in a perfect condition.
In reality we were two adults sleeping in two seperate beds and a child sleeping in a cot as per our booking. We placed our large bags in one room on the two single beds as most people would rather than sitting them on the floor. My parents joined us for breakfast the next morning to spend some time with their grand daughter - hence the extra car.
I passed all this information onto Stephen and refused any extra payment. I also pointed out that 2 adults are quite entitled to use 2 seperate beds and suggested placing locks on doors if he didn't want people entering certain rooms. He continued to be quite rude and childish in his responses - threatening bad reviews and wishing bad 'karma' on me.
I'd 100% avoid dealing with him.
