Overall, the stay was great. To take the experience to the next level, we provide the following constructive feedback:
1. Hooks behind bathroom doors would make the world of difference, as there wasn't anywhere to place our possessions.
2. Ditto shower caddy's. A small thing but there wasn't anywhere to place soaps, shampoos etc.
3. Towel rack in ensuite bathroom was broken. This was an ongoing issue based on communication from Peter.
4. We were surprised face washers weren't provided. In an all female house, we thought it's the little things like this that make the difference.
5. The double bed in the second bathroom had an annoying squeak. Probably fine if only one person sleeping in the bed, however not so if shared. Peter said he would look into this for future guests, and I'm confident he will.
6. The double bunks were a concern as they appeared to only be secured by the rails (the legs weren't anchored). The bunks moved somewhat and the teenagers felt unsafe sleeping on top bunks. Again, Peter said he will look into this.
7. We couldn't get the wii to work. Peter said the landlord responded late at night, which was a little disappointing. It would have been helpful to have instructions specifically related to the wall mounted TV and where the plugs are located. The latest TV and older wii technology didn't seem to go together.
8. Again a little thing, but this is the first BNB we've stayed at without a coffee machine or coffee pods. With such a strong coffee culture, instant didn't quite cut it. It's the small touches like this that would elevate your beautiful home to another level.
The Positives:
1. The home is exactly as described in the photographs
2. Easy walk to the beach
3. A pleasant walk to local supermarket and some shops
4. We observed bus stop, if public transport needed
5. Quiet neighbourhood in a cul-de-sac. I would imagine anyone with small children would find this a bonus.
6. Suitable home if 2 families staying.
