The loft advertised with a kitchen, unfortunately when we arrived the fridge was not switched on. After driving several hours our food needed to be refrigerated but the fridge took several hours to cool and some of our food was spoilt and for health reasons had to be thrown out.
The free "first day breakfast" that was supplied consisted of 4 slices of bread in a glad bag and was was moldy. When i mentioned this to the owner - he blamed the previous guests for turning the fridge off and their fault our bread being moldy. It was disappointing that the owner didn't replace our bread, and just blamed the previous guests rather than taking ownership of the problem and offering replacement the bread.
We arrived about 8 pm but we advised the owners the day before about our arrival time but with no response and no lights on for our arrival. Our room was very hot and only 1 window. open. We discovered a roof window but we couldn't open it. When we mentioned it to the owner the next day, he said to open it but it wasn't mentioned in our induction. It would have been good to mention it in our induction seeing that the room was extremely hot when we arrived .
There was no TASCHECKIN which surprised us.
We felt that there was no preparation for our arrival, as the owners live there on the premises they could have done more. The advertisement states a air-conditioner but its only a air cooler and you have to go down stairs to get a frozen block and put in to the air cooler. It only lasts a few hours.So if having this on at night you have to go and replace the block. its really like a portable cooler - not a air conditioner. If raining you are not able to have the roof windew open - so there is only 1 window that you can have open - very little ventilation.
Great location to New Town.
Off street parking which is great if you have a small car but if you have a big car or ute - very narrow driveway. Parking at the top is ok and right outside your door to the stairs.
Cant really use the hot plates because they are only inches away from the slopping roof - and does offer a great little oven for heating up things. Does however have a little electric frying pan which is good. Great shower. Bed - mattress extremely hard, very flat pillows - could do with upgrading. The dona was a winter dona and should have been changed with a summer one.
You need to be mindfull of the roof. I hit my head going down towards the bed, if you are tall it wouldnt suit. OK if standing in the middle of the room, but cooking and in the kitchen be mindfull.
