Stayed 6 nights. ****PROS****: very quiet wooded surroundings, close to town and close to Beddis Beach. A couple of cookies left on the countertop for arrival, small jar of fresh milk and small bouquet of flowers on the dining table. Locally made soap provided (4 pieces, each the size of a square of chocolate). The sauna was great. High thread count sheets on the main bed, warm duvet, choices of pillows. Basic cooking items and tools provided. The gas fireplace was nice (only works on the high setting so you get about 10 minutes and it's too hot in the room) Good water pressure (this can be a problem on SSI). The ducks were very cute. Washer and dryer was handy to have.
****CONS****: small and uncomfortable mattress that caves in (we slept in the main bedroom). Big window right by the bed has no drapes and faces into the neighbor's property, so you have to hope noone's walking around. The sofa is very small and more for style than lounging, could feel the frame under the butt. Cold tile floors throughout, the space gets drafty and was smaller than expected. The TV is not hooked up to anything (no dvd player) so you literally have to bring your own laptop/flash drive, or use your hotspot if you want to watch something. Really dirty rug in the living room, cobwebs hanging from the ceilings and corners, not hotel standard of cleanliness by any means. The bathroom is a small partition to the vaulted bedroom with no ceiling above it, so all pooping sound effects can be heard by other occupants. It's impossible to set the temperature for the shower without flooding the floor, and it's a very small and awkward space so I imagine anyone taller/bigger will not be comfortable washing inside it. The fan is not sufficiently powerful to get the steam out, so the open ceiling makes the bedroom into a sauna. The host was not particularly attentive, text messages not returned promptly, didn't initiate messages to check in if we needed anything during our stay. No warning prior to host's husband showing up while we were obviously inside. You can see right in as there's no privacy in the front windows.
Overall, we would have gratefully passed if any of these details were known prior to booking.
