Disliked: Cleanliness
Almost, But Not Quite
We picked this property for the quiet and the history of the house. The quiet it delivered in spades, and it was perfect for that. The history was not all there. The layout of the house was as expected ā a house split in the middle by a hallway with two rooms either side. Proportions were correct, but the lack of the Australian Hardwood trims, doors and frames (the cleats in the stonework were there) was a bit disappointing.The cleanliness of both the house and yard were not great. The yard could do with a serious clean up, including the backyard.Maintenance was also an issue ā of 10 doors that led outside, only three were functioning correctly, with one more leading to the backyard, which we didnāt need. Given that when we arrived the air conditioning, as promised on this page, was non-existent, it would have been nice to be able to open the house up to the breeze blowing in from the lake. There is no phone service, and the wifi is okay. Your best bet is to go to the local pub 2kms down the road and take your laptop! The staff at the pub are lovely, the meals are really good! In short, if you want somewhere quiet where no-one can find you and you canāt use tech then this is your place! Otherwise, I hope that the owners will stay for a few weeks and get the place back up to standard (a list of maintenance items has been sent).
