To give a fair review of Ben’s place it’s useful to split our review into pros and cons. The pros - the studio is well located to whale beach and as long as you have a car getting around is super easy. Ben was very accommodating and let us borrow anything we needed. He also very much respected our privacy given that he lives upstairs with his family. You can also hear the waves crashing from the studio, which is stunning. The cons - the fit out is very basic with key things missing such as tumblers to drink from. There's also nowhere to rest anything in the bathroom and very basic. The place didn’t feel overly secure with the lock door being broken / very stiff however, this is likely an easy fix. A bit more care could be taken with the cleanliness and the furniture. We booked super last minute over the Christmas period due to a change in plans as a result of the bushfires so it was a very expensive stay. If it was at a more reasonable price we probably would have been more satisfied. We still had a lovely time though! Just a bit more basic than our usual Airbnb experience
