We booked this house with a boathouse on the Glenelg River for 3 nights for our honeymoon. The open fireplace in the lounge was attractive for our first night sipping wine and relaxing.
However, we discovered when we lit the fire as directed, the chimney was blocked and smoke was billowing into the house. We had to sit outside for 4 hours while using fans to disperse the smoke. However, it was difficult to sleep as the bed linen was smelling of smoke.
Day 2: We found all our clothes smelt of smoke but spent the day outside on the river, in the fresh air.
The boathouse was actually a cabin with decking around it on the rivers edge. It was not a boat house to store the boat in. We had to recover and launch the boat each time we wanted to use it.
At the end of the day we returned to the house to discover the fridge was noisy and was not working as our food and drinks was warm. We had to discard of most of our food.
We had to go to the pub for dinner in Port MacDonnell, as the people in the Nelson Hotel were rude and unfriendly.
Day 3. With no food, no fridge and our clothes smelling of smoke, we had little option but to leave.
We reported this to Hayley and Shannon, however, 2 weeks later we have not heard from them, in regard to a refund for our last night.
