Nicholas' house is very good for a family holiday. But there are some negatives. Read on ...
Downstairs, there are three generous sized bedrooms plus a bathroom, laundry and toilet. Upstairs, there is a large 4th bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Upstairs is also where the very large open space family room and kitchen are located. There is plenty of seating space - both table and chairs as well as lounge chairs. There are two balconies upstairs - both have tables and chairs and there is a huge bbq. This is all excellent family holiday facilities.
The location is very good. It is literally a couple of minutes walk to the stunning Apollo Bay beach, and only a 10 - 15 minute walk to the shops.
On a less positive note:
- You need to provide your own sheets and towels, or pay the additional fee to have them provided. We have stayed in AirBNBs all over the world (incl Russia) and have never been asked to pay extra for linen.
- The house would benefit from repainting inside and out because there are numerous marks, scratches, peeling paintwork, etc.
- The floor tiles on the two balconies are quite dirty/stained and would benefit from a thorough clean with a pressure cleaner.
- Some of the furniture such as the lounge suite are quite "tired" with numerous marks etc on them.
- The outdoor furniture is in relatively poor condition.
With the exception of the linen, the other issues are probably not unexpected from a well used holiday house close to the ocean.
All in all, the house is good, the location is good, but the property could do with some maintenance.
