The house served its purpose as a place to stay for our group of 6.
Positives:
- Very spacious for 6
- Great location with a bus that goes into the city centre stopping right outside the property
- Good working kitchen so was able to cook meals no problem. Hot water was also aplenty,
Less positives:
- The property had recently suffered some rain damage and there were huge mould stains across the walls. We hadn’t been notified of this in advance so was shocked and worried when we checked in. Managed to speak to our host who reassured us it was all safe. The property in general is also more run down than the photos shown. We had expected a brand- new, modern, newly renovated property, but it was more of a standard suburban home that had suffered some wear and tear.
- The heating system is tricky to manipulate to get the perfect temperature. It also dries the house at completely as you have hot air blowing out from the vents. Think this may be an Australian thing though as our hotels also had the same problem.
- We had a 5am airport pick up and needed an early night but on the last day, the neighbours decided to have a RAVE until 2am. We called the police and contacted our host but to no avail. None of us got any sleep before our long haul flight. Not anyone’s fault other than the neighbours but worth noting that they like to party on the weekends.
- The steps into the property and between the two floors within the property are very narrow and steep. We all fell over at least once but luckily didn’t hurt ourselves. Maybe not the most child or elderly friendly.
