Azmina was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. The home boasts excellent views over the coast and offers a great deal of privacy.
It's a spacious home and for those who want to get into the spiritual 'zone' this place is perfect.
However, when we arrived, we were informed the previous occupants had blocked one of the downstairs bathrooms. This was not fixed during the stay and therefore was out of bounds.
Given we paid to rent the whole property, we would have expected this to have been fixed. Also, we couldn't get the downstairs shower to work (though we did say to Azmina that this wasn't an issue for our stay as we used the other shower) and like some areas of the property, maintenance is required (door nets slide off their hinges etc).
There were also ants crawling out of the fittings on both the upstairs and downstairs shower.
The air conditioning is based on ceiling fans not air con units. We experienced a very hot week and whilst the fan the living room kept us comfortable, sleeping in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable. In cooler weather this will not be an issue but if you are expecting air con, you may be warm!
There was a cleaning fee. To be honest, I cannot see where this money is entirely spent. The master bedroom carpet (at the top of the stairs) is brown with dirt and the decking furniture also stained. When we arrived there were copious amounts of dead leaves on the seat covers on the deck and children's goggles in the bottom of the pool. I certainly wouldn't let my home out this way.
I overheard the manager's wife commenting to the property manager that he should "really clean that pool".
The food cupboards were sticky with dirt.
It breaks me to make this review because Azmina is such a lovely person, but given the strict cancellation policy and the experience of other Air properties, I felt this should be mentioned.
The stay wasn't spoiled, but we were left disappointed that what could be a beautiful holiday let has been left in some neglect.
