The property was not up to the advertised standard.
Although a bbq was in the photos, no bbq, needless to say spoilt our plans for a bbq dinner. We had planned a bike ride, again none of the bikes were in working order. We probably should have guessed when it took ten minutes to unlock the front door, the lock obviously needs work. We were about to give up when it unlocked. We rang the numbers but of course no one picked up and still no one has bothered to get back to us. I think you can get the drift here, good house but in need of some TLC and needs a property manager to be available. Not value for money in my mind considering we paid $1600 for a two night stay. You guessed it we won’t be back and won’t be recommending this holiday house.
