Would absolutely not recommend this place. So many issues.
1. Dirty beds: Beds felt unwashed, some had stains on them, one mattress had what appeared to be a large blood stain on it which is disgusting. This essentially meant that what was supposed a house that sleeps 12, now slept 10. We were forced to buy blow up matresses to properly sleep everyone.
2. Washing machine/Air conditioner did not work: Washing machine was broken, and has clearly been broken for a substantial period of time. Ridiculous that it was not know about beforehand. As a way to fix the issue the owner first asked me to measure the broken washing machine so he could replace it , and then wanted me to wait at the house for a new delivery to come. We had come to this place to have a holiday, a quick check of the place would’ve seen this issue. The air conditioner remote was no where to be seen at all, luckily we weren’t inside the house very often.
3. Neighbours: The side neighbour was a complete idiot. On our first night there we had been playing music outside, at 8:00pm. We were not at all blasting the music. The neighbour stuck his head over the fence and yelled “TURN THE F*****G MUSIC DOWN”. We proceeded to turn the music down, however the neighbour still decided to call the host. The host did not see reason at all, and instead told me a bs story about how they have to pay the council/security for noise complaints. We were not unreasonable and would not play blaring music late at night, however this neighbour was simply a complete idiot who somehow had control over the host who caved to him.
4. Cleanliness: The whole house just was not properly cleaned before we arrived, making the beds feel disgustingly dirty. Cutlery was dirty, floors had dirty and dust, and as previously mentioned some beds had stains on them
5. Rubbish bins not emptied: Upon our initial arrival we were first met by the sight of a disgusting overflowing recycle bin. The rubbish bins were also filled. We arrived on a Wednesday and the rubbish collection come every Tuesday morning. Upon talking to the owner about this issue ( the recycle bin being full and the rubbish bin also being full) he simply continue to say that the recycle bin was only half filled and the rubbish was empty, despite me physically looking at the overflowing bins.
6. The pull out matresses was impossibly uncomfortable to sleep on. It did not lie level, and actually angled up at a 20 degree angle. This, paired with the fact that metal bars dig into your back upon sleep on the thin mattress meant and the dirty stains on it meant that it was not a viable option to sleep in. In the future this should either be fixed or the house should be listed as sleeping 10 people, as it is a blatant lie.
Minor issues yet still negative: No lighting on the front decking. One of the major reasons we rented the place yet it was pitch black once the sun went down.
Multiple lights out throughout the house.
Poorly maintained backyard.
Fridge/freezer was clearly old and couldn’t even freeze icy poles.
Shower/bath taps falling off after every rotation.
Overall, do not recommend. For the price you are paying the accomodation is essentially a youth hostel, without a working washing machine.
