Though the uncleanliness of this place made our skin crawl, the real issue became the swarms of mosquitoes that made their way into the house through a faulty fly screen. Our children were badly bitten and we have since learnt that Ross River Virus is prevalent in the area this year. We are deeply disappointed the host did not tell us about the public health warnings and that he has not taken steps to ensure the accommodation has fly screens that work to protect his guests from this health risk. One of our children has since shown signs of a virus (vomitting, irratibility and a rash) and we are very concerned for her and for ourselves.
