The Glass House is a stunning property with exquisite views. The spa pool on the expansive deck is a divine feature in the evenings to enjoy a glass of bubbles and soak up the star lit skies.
The outdoor lounge furniture (not in photos) is super comfy, the kitchen is pretty well kitted out and the Smart TV is a great feature for rainy nights.
That said, if you’re looking for a spotlessly clean bach, with the comforts and luxury of thoughtful touches, as one would expect at this price point, this isn’t that Bach. Here’s what could’ve been better:
There’s a dirt road that runs at the back of the house, and an unpaved driveway, which meant that the cars driving past kicked up waves of dust that descended over the house.
By the end of the 3rd day, everything was pretty dusty, and we were all using anti-histamines for sneezing and itchy eyes and noses.
The house was clean-ish when we arrived, but dust was still visible on some furniture.
Bring all your own linen, as the duvet covers and mattress protectors needed a good wash before we could use them.
Bring your own essentials, e.g. bath soaps, shampoo, conditioner etc. There’s limited toilet paper, rubbish bags and condiments.
The BBQ worked but only the back parts of the main grills, and not the front end of the grill.
The clothing line had fallen over, so couldn’t be used, but they did provide us with a clothes airer.
The house has clearly been a popular choice for many, because there is some wear and tear that could do with some attention. The highs of the views, spa pool and spaciousness of the house still made it an enjoyable experience for us, and we made the most of those high points.
But with a bit of finessing, The Glass House could be an extraordinary Bach.
