Stayed between 25/08/2018 and 27/08/2018.
What we like about this property:
- Amazing view with deck upstairs
- 3-4 minutes walk to the beach
- Cozy heater and we enjoyed using this each morning and night
- Spa bath is great downstairs
- A working dishwasher with power supplied
- Washer and separate Dryer available
- Upstairs bathroom
- Separate toilet downstairs with wash basin
What we don't like about this property:
- Property is in need with a few immediate overdue maintenance
- Rolling track for bathroom sliding door is broken and extremely hard to shut, door was almost impossible to lock. Door works in upstairs bathroom, but same issue with lock
- no blind or covering in bathroom upstairs. No issue with showering as windows is placed up high just above shower room, but towel rail is placed on the other side of bathroom with definite sight of head or upper body from another property on higher ground. Probably ok if you are short.
- No hairdryer supplied, this is probably essential item and it is first time staying in a property without it. I would recommend owner put a couple in the property as they are such inexpensive items.
- Outdoor table top broken the week prior and not yet been replaced.
Tips:
- Bin collection is on Monday, you are required to take bins out to the road (approx 100m long gravel road). I would personally avoid checking out on a Monday since you need to drag the bins out and at the same time carry your rubbish by hand to the bin out of the road when checking out on Monday.
- Property provides the basic, which it has all the cooking equipment, but no cooking oil, cling wrap, foil and etc like other properties I stayed at in VIC (Airbnb/Stayz). Foodworks supermarket is only a few minutes drive and you can get everything there, make sure you buy some coffee capsules too if you are a coffee person as they have Nespresso machine.
Overall good stay and fair price. I would stay again, but hopefully some of the things mentioned above could be addressed/considered.
