Review for Cranbourne Our stay arriving 23rd December leaving 10th January.
This house is perfect for a couple who don’t want to eat in, or who don’t want to have family over for coffee.
The stove has a wok burner but there is no wok, every time we cooked something and lifted the pot up the flame went out. We managed to use 2 of the pots and the frying pan, that were there, but there was another pot we didn’t use because it was rusty, just like the toaster.
This house is NOT adequate for 6 people, Yes it is a 3 bedroom house, and yes the beds are big enough to sleep 2 people in each one, BUT
The couch can only sit 2 people, 3 people if one is small.
The table although it has 6 chairs around it, 2 people on one side is too tight.
Only 6 plates, cups and cutlery, but only 2 bowls are not enough.
The Fridge: this fridge is clearly 2nd or 3rd hand, I can look past the dints on the door but it is really hard to look past the masking tape on the shelves and shelves missing on the door. We had to buy ice for our esky to keep the milk in because the fridge isn’t big enough to have the milk stand up in it. We were lucky enough to have driven down and had an esky to do this. After complaining to the owner about the lack of Bowls and the fridge she did bring over a bar fridge and more bowls.
The outside table, we asked if there was one since we didn’t see it in the photos. We were told no but the owner did go out and get one, again 2nd or 3rd hand, the top was starting to fall apart.
Staying for more than a few nights (we stayed for 18 nights) we had to wash every day, the washing machine is small for 6 people and NO CLOTHES LINE, a rope in the garage and in the corner of the back yard is not good enough. Yes there were clothes horses but moving these in and out all the time is not good enough. If we used the rope in the garage we had to have the garage door up and the internal garage door open and sit at the table to make sure no one stole our things. Not the type of thing you want to do when you want to go out catch up with people and do things.
We have stayed in many many BNB’s so we know what to expect, and every one we have stayed in has always had milk in the fridge, so you don’t have to rush off to get some as soon as you unpack. No milk in this one. You might think this is nick picking but as I said, we have always arrived at a BNB where milk has been left.
The owner is charging over $400.00 cleaning fee, either she is ripping people off or she is being ripped off by someone who she has asked to clean the house.
The house should be clean. I shouldn’t have to clean down the toilets before letting my kids use them. Behind the lid was disgusting, I also had to clean down the window ledges in the bathrooms and toilet window ledge and around and in the bath, All very dusty.
The vacuum cleaner again is 2nd hand and also has tape on it holding it together.
We put our things away then took the photos of what is supposed to be clean. I didn’t take a photo of the toilets I just cleaned them.
WE WILL NOT BE GOING BACK TO THIS HOME.

As you can see the table is only large enough for 4 people, the couch looks bigger in the photos but can only sit 2 adults or 2 adults and 1 small adults / child. The outside table, if you look at the light patches this is where it is rotting if you place a cup on it the wood bows, 2 small ropes in the corner outside for a line. The fridge is only just taller than my Daughter and she is only 155cm (5 foot 1).
The sheets don’t fit the back bedrooms beds; we had to remake them each morning from scratch, as the bottom sheets kept moving. This is after 1 sleep. My son is a sound sleeper and doesn’t move around much.
On top of the fridge the day we arrived. No I did not clean this. We took our first aid kit down after we saw how dusty it was.
All the light fittings where dusty when we arrived, No I did not clean them
Shower main bathroom this is totally not acceptable, this hasn’t been cleaned ever by the look of this. No I did not clean this. Yes that is mold.
Shower master bathroom this is totally not acceptable, this hasn’t been cleaned every by the look of this. No I did not clean this. Yes more mold.
Toilet brush holders both were covered in dust. I did not clean them
Both fans over the showers are filled with dust, I did not clean them
