The house was conveniently located in Bathurst, near downtown and other amenities and sites. Check in and check out was easy, as the owner just simply left the keys.
We didn’t spend much time there, only to sleep, but the space was not conducive to anything other than that. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep, it is fine, but definitely not worth $170 a night - I certainly cannot comprehend how it has received a 5-star rating.
However, if we chose to spend more time, it would not have been a pleasant stay. The house is old and obviously undergoing renovations. We were only given 1 set of towels each for a 4-night stay. The walls were chipped and badly needed a coat of paint, and the place did not look very clean, although the bed was clean. The host did not check in to see if we needed anything, rather asked us if we would water the plants outside for them because they were away! (Who does that to a guest who is paying them!) They should have asked us to mow the lawn too, because it was overgrown and unkempt.
