Thank you for your feedback. The home was indeed due for a deep clean and that was started right after your stay. Glad to hear you enjoyed the home anyway and it's location. We hope to be able to host you and family again in the future for a better experience. Regards, the team from Phillip Island Holiday Homes

Lovely Property - Quiet Location

Overall Redwood is a lovely quiet property and very comfortable. The only issue was the lack of soap. No soap for showers or hand basins so make sure to bring your own. Considering the charge for 2 nights, we were wondering why no soap was supplied....as other guests previously noted. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms spacious and light. The livingroom has great couches for relaxing on and plenty of natural light pouring in. The kitchen is reasonably well stocked with crockery and cutlery, but don't expect to find the basics, tea, coffee etc that many other rental properties supply. The outside area is nice to sit in and enjoy. Thanks so much, The Smiths:)

Decent house. Not equipped enough.

Good, decent size house but not fully equipped. We were 9 of us and we're staying just one night. There were no basic provisions. There were utensils and dishwasher but no dishwashing liquid. Only one bathroom had handwash. I did not anyways expect luxury of tea and coffee, but did not expect basic toiletries missing. Rooms had electric blankets, towels and tissue rolls.

Great location, great size, slightly grubby

Spent a weekend here with friends. Great location, great size, great layout but the property could use a deep clean. Cream carpets are spitted with spills and marks, dust and debris on window sills in main bedroom, daddy long leg spiders throughout the place and there wasn’t enough handsoap. Main bathroom needed to be refilled and there wasn’t any at all in the other bathroom. Not a big deal, but would be nice to wash your hands properly after travelling, toileting etc.

Excellent property

Well present modern home. Very spacious living area, well equipped kitchen. Small fully fence backyard which is perfect for my small dog. Nice outdoor setting but we didn't use the BBQ due to the very cold weather at night , must come back in warmer day. This home away from home is so comfortable that we didn't have to find attractions to go to, we made the most of this lovely place and we enjoy every minutes of our stay. We didn't know how to open the roller gate between the garage and the backyard, called the contact number given, response quickly and promptly. Best of all, bonds deposit back to my bank account within couple of days A bit brighter outdoor lighting and hand soap in the bathroom will add extra comfort to this beautiful home

House was very comfortable and homely but sections did need a clean before we were satisfied to settle. Good location to RSL for meals and not far from shops and beach.

Didn't quite meet my lofty expectations

Put simply we only required a bed for the night for 2 couples, the decision taken to rest our heads in Redwood coming mainly because we needed a place to store our race trailer overnight. The images suggested this wouldn't be an issue and on questioning if this was the case we were advised it wouldn't be a problem. In hindsight I would have preferred another option, certainly considering 'Redwood' cost $430 for the night in the middle of winter meaning off-peak. Money aside, my so-called lofty expectations revolve around cleanliness. Yes, the facility is what it looks like on the web, it is reasonably well equipped, the beds and pillows very comfortable, in fact for the most part there's no problems. Unless of course you are a bit of a clean freak. I guess the way I look at things is; Why should I accept a lower level of cleanliness than I expect in my own household? In the case of Redwood there were a myriad of finger marks on the walls, doors etc. In every room. The tables and benches definitely didn't meet the 'finger' test. All it takes is a warm soapy sponge and a drying cloth and voila, these marks and the dust would be gone. By the way, it wasn't just myself who was of this opinion. Anyway the bottom line was the facility served a purpose, it looked nice, but there were the cleanliness issues and... The race trailer didn't quite fit meaning it poked out onto the footpath, The garden was was overgrown and frankly, a disgrace. Of course we don't live in the backyard or front garden, but for $430, it should be perfect.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar 2020
It's disappointing to hear that the guests here didn't have their expectations met. We endeavor to make sure that our homes are suitable for guests and meet their needs. The home is advertised (and has) a single garage which it seems was not large enough for the guests trailer. Specifically however, the condition report prior to this stay indicated the home was absolutely spotless. The home was professionally cleaned. The cost of the stay the guest mentions is also in fact not the rate charged for them for their stay and is markedly higher than the rate for a 1 night stay with linen even for a large number of guests. These guests actually paid $340 for their accommodation with all linen provided rather than the $430 mentioned. Nonetheless we very much appreciate the feedback from these guests and hope that any future experiences they have are more positive. We note that every other guest at this home has provided very positive feedback and are disappointed that this was not the case for these guests.
