Anyone under 25 beware.
Beautiful house, beautiful view. prime location. Perfect house for familys with young kids.
Not so perfect for young people who just want to have a good time.
The owner can be nosy and threatening if you are young.
I booked the property for 5 and planned for 5 people.
From the first day arriving at the property I felt like I was being watched. We arrived to find the internet not working so we restarted it (as it said to on the wifi router).
After we restarted it we walked down to the beach, only 100 metres down the road.
As we arrive back at the property I noticed a missed call and a voicemail on my mobile. As I listened to the voicemail it became apparent that the owner did not trust me. I was threatened multiple times with being evicted from the property and even the police called on us. All of this for no real reason. It seemed that when we restarted the internet modem that it disconnected the wifi cctv from the property. I was told in the voicemail that if I was seen to have more than 5 people on the property that the police would be there and so would the owner as she only lives a short distance away. She was worried I would throw a party in the house and trash it.
I was told that the neighbours were watching us and that if she heard anything I would be kicked out.
Never would I have imagined this scenario happening.
I can understand being wary of letting young people stay in your nice beach house but this is to another extent. I'm 23, I'm not 18/19 again, it makes zero sense for me to pay the premium $500+ a night just to throw a party and be kicked out without a refund. It's the middle of February, I would understand the worry if it was schoolies but it is not which is even more bizzare.
Safe to say I was on edge the rest of the time we were there, I felt like I was always being watched and that they were just looking for someway to kick us out.
After I called her back and reassured them that not to stress and that everything will be fine. I did call again 2 days later and asked for directions and help to get somewhere which she was more than happy to help with.
They seem like nice people, I loved the house, I loved the view, I loved the location but unfortunately the communication was just a bit too much. If you didn't trust me from the start we should never have been given permission to stay there.
Thank you Trish and Max for a great house hopefully this review helps you grow and learn to trust others.
