Manyana - Absolute Beachfront Cottage

Thanks for your recent positive review of your stay, Robert.

Thanks for your review and the lovely photos of the views from the house, Mel. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Thanks Peter. I loved your message about your mother who was visiting from overseas, being enthralled and emotionally overcome by the amazing views. So lovely.

Thank you for your feedback. G;ad you enjoyed your stay

Dear Sid.. Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and glad you found the BBQ. We have put a wood fired or heat bead bbq there instead of a gas one, as it is more reliable and much easier than getting a gas bottle filled down there. Although it is a little bit of extra work lighting it, it actually gives you better tasting food with the smokiness of wood. Sorry for the inconvenience. Look forward to welcoming you there again.

Thank you Amanda for your comments and for choosing to stay with us again

Thank you for your lovely and well balanced review , Mary. We are very glad you enjoyed using our place for the weekend. It is truly in a secluded and special spot on the South Coast of NSW, surrounded by national park.

Thanks Jacinta. Happy to hear the property met your expectations and that you enjoyed you holiday at our older style beach pad

Thank you for your review Garry. I am not sure what the problem with the BBQ was as there is a portable Kettle BBQ on your left as you walk in the house. I will ask the cleaner to check that it was there. I am glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise.

Thanks Fiona. Great to hear you enjoyed your stay once again and your appreciation of the uniqueness of the area, the views, and the amenities of our beach house. see you next year.

Dear Stewart, According to our cleaner, the house was left in an extremely very dirty state, with the sink and dishwasher left full of dirty dishes, and a spillage on the hallway carpet outside the bathroom. On my questioning you on the state of the house, you confirmed via a text that a beer had spilled on the carpet in one room but that you had been unable to clean anything up as you did not have anything to clean it with. You review makes a number of complaints and states that your group left the house in a clean condition. This is unfortunately not consistent with what our cleaner encountered when she arrived to clean the house. You also made no mention of any of the things that you claim were missing in the house in any of our communication during or after your stay, and they have only surfaced in your review of our property after we asked you where the cleaning money had been left after the cleaner advised it had not been left there, and asked you for an explanation about the state in which the house was left. This makes it is very difficult to accept your complaints as being genuine. The house as I am sure you would know has blankets and pillows on every bed. I advised you at the time of booking that there were only 7 beds in the house and that as you were 8 single males there was insufficient bedding for that number. You told me this was not a problem and that one of the guys would sleep on the floor. I offered to get our cleaner to pull out a spare single mattress so that all your friends could enjoy their surfing weekend comfortably. We also did not charge you any extra for this extra mattress. Your claim that there were no blankets in the house is simply not true, and I am sure you would have contacted me during your stay if this was the case. There are normally 2 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. We do not supply an unlimited number of toilet rolls and top ups can be purchased from the nearby corner store. There is dish washing detergent, dishwasher tablets under the kitchen sink and 2 tea towels. Had you advised me that any of these items were missing, we would have asked our cleaner to pop in and supply you with whatever was missing. There is a broom and a mop and bucket in the downstairs bathroom. We do not supply other cleaning materials such as carpet cleaning detergent for spillages. However the local corner shop is open 7 days a week where any additional materials can be purchased should it be necessary to clean up other spillages

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay. The entry door sliding door lock is a bit fiddly. Once you get the gist of lining up the pin on the lock with the frame, the key lock can be turned as I think you worked out :)

Thanks for you feedback Ross. Glad you enjoyed your stay and the location of the property. We have just renewed the large 1st floor deck overlooking the beach as you would have noticed and will continue to make improvements this year whilst keeping the property an affordable beach house with million dollar views. Regarding the number of bedrooms, the listing description states the facilities as 3 bedrooms plus a common area. The listing options do not enable us to describe the common area other than as a bedroom or an office, so we picked the 4th bedroom box to tick. We have amended the 4th bedroom and called it an office since your review. Hopefully this will make it less confusing. we have not had a need to install airconditioning as the house benefits from a good ocean breeze. Fans in all the bedrooms, and heaters are provided for those hot days and cool nights though.
