The property is exactly as described and in an absolutely fantastic location. We appreciated the milk and fresh fruit left for us on arrival.
As others have mentioned, the stairs are an issue, particularly with any luggage and/or in slippery conditions. To be fair there's absolutely nothing Phillip could do about this, other than mention it in the listing.
Despite booking in for four nights, we unfortunately made the decision to leave the morning after arrival due to the developing flooding disaster in NSW, which was due to hit Sydney the evening of our second night (250mm - 400mm of rain forecast to hit in the coming two days, including multiple extreme weather warnings from the Bureau of Metereology). Whilst Phillip was very apologetic for the situation, which was completely out of his control, it was a little disappointing that he was not willing to offer any sort of refund for the remaining three nights that we did not use, or at least a credit of sorts to use at his property in the future. We drove back to Victoria the morning after arriving, and lucky we did, as the roads we had travelled only a few hours earlier were flooded and impassable.
We understood the cancellation policy. Considering the extreme circumstances, a little more understanding on Phillip's part would have gone a long way.
