On arrival, we found immediate problems with incorrect WiFi logon details and a TV that had no signal. WiFi issue was resolved by host over the phone, but it took 2 days of hassling to get the TV seen to by an electrician, who found that the aerial cable was not properly connected and said that the TV had probably never worked properly. Even with his best efforts it was only a partial fix as there was sound but no picture for 15 HD channels. This experience clouded our whole visit, and left us feeling that the host is not particularly attentive to the needs of guests. Other examples include no ironing board (any respectable motel room/apartment includes an iron and ironing board); no pop-up toaster (a small sandwich press was provided but is no substitute); no serviceable pegs for the clothes line; and lounge room curtains hanging from a coat hanger. The garage was extremely dirty and untidy and full of discarded furniture and assorted rubbish; in addition, a pile of soiled sheets and towels from previous guests remained dumped on the garage floor for the whole 2 weeks of our stay – disgusting! We understand if hosts want some areas to be off-limits to guests, but if so, the room should be locked; that fact that the mess in the garage was on full display shows little respect for guests. Finally, the property description contains some serious inaccuracies. For example, there is no hot tub, it is simply a bath; “breakfast is provided” is totally untrue, the only pantry items were a couple of coffee sachets, KFC hand wipes and a jar of toothpicks!; “we provide washing powder” – not true!
The best feature of this property is its location. If the house had been presented as advertised, with greater attention to functionality and cleanliness, we would have had a much more enjoyable visit.
