Fireplace tarnished our stay
This is a lovely dwelling in an outstanding, first class location.
Check-in and comms with the owner was a breeze.
A peaceful environment. We were visited by some wallabies on a number of occasions.
I considered a number of other accommodation options before being persuaded by this one having a fireplace.
In the description, the owner made clear that the fireplace doors must be kept closed to avoid smoke being a problem. What an understatement.
Fireplace doors need to be opened to add firewood. Doing so will release an unbelievable amount of smoke which fills the dwelling. I was forced to open all doors & windows to breathe. This caused all heat to be lost to the very cold winter night.
I have lived in homes with a number of different types of fireplaces and this is NOT normal, there must be a problem with the chimney.
It was such a shame that the fireplace experience tarnished what would have been an otherwise perfect stay.
