There is no doubt that this place has great views and furnished nicely however the host is not very friendly and does not assist or offer any resolution with any issues that you may encounter. He is quick to suggest local restaurants thou !!! He must have some stakes in them!!!
We were told that it has a central cooling system...WRONG..it has ONE split system upstairs for the entire place (upstairs and downstairs). There is a portable air-conditioner but you have to leave the window open for hot air pipe. There were 3 fans (one broken) and other 2 still in box, requiring assembly from us on arrival., simply not enough for 5 rooms. We ended up buying extra fans from the local Bunnings to put one in each room. There was a heat wave that weekend, 3 days of 35+ degrees in row.
There is $50 fee for uncleaned BBQ but upon arrival, the BBQ was filthy and the owner offered no compensation and/or solution.
The pool was dirty on arrival...According to the owner the pool was services a week before... not between guest arrivals thou!!
The carpet and walls show signs of wear and tear and we were accused on staining and damaging. He wrote emails and SMS in"capital letters" in very rude tone after our departure and claimed exuberant amount for cleaning. The owner claimed almost 50% of the weekend fee as compensation...beware !!!!
The lounge room windows has a weird design and there is a permanent gap between in the windscreen allowing flies, mosquitoes to come in, almost making the area not usable. There were dead flies all over the place, suggesting no cleaning/vacuum has taken place prior to our arrival. If rains, water will drip in..we had to put towels on the floor to keep it dry.
We sat in balcony during the evening talking and listening to music on our phones, at 12.05 AM Fri night on the dot, a neighbour almost broke the front door to complain about us being noisy, it immediately was shut down...however the owner keeps telling me about that and how it means that I didn't comply with "house stay rules"...
One other thing...don't move the furniture around ..'cause it upsets the owner and cleaners.
Although it has water views but there is a fair walk to get to the beach as directly in front of the street, there is a sharp cliff and you need to walk a bit to get to the beach.
If you stay there, I recommend do the usual "house inspection" and keep record/pictures of anything not right to ensure the owner does not pin things on you, claiming more money.
For views I give it 4 stars.
For host I give NIL stars.
For the place itself, I give it 1 star given the poor cooling facilities.
