Short Getaway

Over all, it was a great place to stay especially having a Dog. The kids enjoyed it and as adveritsed it is a Fisherman's getaway. One of the beds was covered in baby powder with dirty sheets (slept on top of the bed). Instructions were clear about check in. Ideal for a boys getaway.

no frills Stansbury accommodation

This place is handily located and could be quite special if a little more care taken in cleanliness and presentation. The owners seem to think that all guests will trash their property so therefore they furnish it with street finds and very basic utensils. There are no flyscreens on the bedroom windows. No hand soap or dishcloths to wipe down benches. The teflon frying pan is scratched beyond use and should be discarded. Best to BYO duvets and covers and if you like to drink wine from a glass rather than a scuffed plastic one BYO those as well....and byo soap and probably a cover or 2 for the old couch and chairs. There is a games shed which could appeal to younger guests and really it could be a fun option for a group of young people to have a gathering. Just not that special a stay if you like clean pleasant surroundings.

Okay but could be better!

The beds need to be upgraded to Queen size. A better selection of wine glasses (glass not plastic) is required. The lounge is comfortable to sit in but difficult to get in and out off. The games room was dirty. The BBQ had to be cleaned before being used.
