We stayed at Nickett's recently to attend a wedding in Mount Dandenong. Our expectations weren't high as we knew we weren't paying top dollar. We just wanted a comfortable place to stay for the week of the wedding. However, this place still did not even come close to meeting our expectations.
The good: Great warm shower/spa; comfortable bed; close to the wedding venue; basic cooking facilities and wifi provided.
The bad: Heating/cooling system didn't work (thank goodness for the mini fan heater in the bathroom - my partner and I spent many hours standing underneath the heater to defrost from the Mount Dandenong cold). When we walked in, we were greeted by a few spider webs and there was a dampness in the air - not very welcoming. The place had no ventilation. We couldn't keep the windows open because of mosquitoes and spiders. Basic cooking facilities were provided, however, needed a wash before use!
The ugly: The thin walls!!! Despite reading a review about the noise through the thin walls, Nickett replied stating that the place had since been renovated and sound proof walls were installed. This was not the case. At all. We could hear every single conversation the neighbours were having next door. We could hear their alarm go off in the morning. We could hear the key in the lock. It was absolutely ridiculous!
Overall, our experience was pretty uncomfortable. We would not recommend this place, unfortunately.
