Five-star looking house, one- star staying experience.
Given what we’re paying and that it had its own website and what not, we had such high hopes for this rental. However, it did not live up to the hype.
The house is not air conditioned and is designed to retain every last bit of heat with no air circulation within the property. We tried opening the windows, but were immediately greeted by many flies, moths, bees, mosquitos etc. So we had to close all the windows, but then we realised we were slow cooking ourselves over the night at a toasty 30c interior temperature all night long. We paid to stay in an amazing looking house, but actively chose not to be inside of it. Needless to say, we all had the worst nights sleeps of our lives.
We had to buy portable fly screens and additional fans (apart from the 3 provided) to make the place live-able.
At this price, these are not issues you will run into a similarly priced hotel, Hilton or Rees etc. better experience I’m sure
