Hubert was welcoming but had not explained the entrance was at the rear of the building. I had to request towels and toilet paper as there were none. My husband and I thought we had a private room and were sharing the bathroom with the owners who lived there. This was not the case as it is more like a hostel with several people staying there - so you could be sharing the bathroom with up to 6 people, two of whom appeared to be permanent residents living in single rooms. There is another shower and toilet downstairs and outside but this is also used by up to 8 guests as they have several cabins out the back. I feel the description should make this clear and obviously the price is relatively cheap for Sydney if you want to stay in hostel style accommodation. The kitchen is obviously shared with several cupboards for food storage and 2 large fridges. However, the tea-towels for wiping up the dishes were disgusting and never changed. The communal bathroom we used was never cleaned the whole time we were there. Hubert and his wife were quite friendly and I think for backpackers it would be fine, but they need to keep the communal areas clean and inform people of the situation. Our bedroom was clean and fresh as it had been recently renovated and also had lovely cupboards and air-conditioner and tv - so we had no complaints about the bedroom which is nice and large.
