Wedding

Initially we were due to accompany our son and daughter in law to baby sit their daughter. Regrettably, i was hospitalised and couldn't make the trip, so it was just our son and daughter in law. I advised of this!

Thanks for your review and sorry you couldn't make it. Glad your son and daughter were able to enjoy a weekend away. All the best.

4/10 Poor

I'd rather be Harold Holt

Receiving texts demanding that the bins be put out (with threat of fee) prior to even leaving my home address, was disgraceful. Trawling through the Terms & Conditions, including a varied and complex fine system, required at least a Master's Degree. Upon arrival, the welcoming, wonderful, wafting bleach breeze stunningly enhanced the spectacular gravel landscape. This subtly merged with the suffocating suburban surroundings provided by the fabulous, phenomenal, fortified fence.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
I appreciate your review, however I don't quite understand it. We would never send text messages threatening fees. Our Terms and Conditions do outline things that could result in a deduction from your bond, however these are very fair and reasonable, and we feel it is better to be upfront about this with our guests (it is presented in a concise bullet point document that is very easy to read). The "bleach breeze" that you referred to maybe the fact that, as we accommodated your booking on a Sunday at extremely late notice, the cleaners had just been to prepare the house for you after the previous guests had vacated that morning.

Great place - but bring your own linen

Great eclectic little cabin and tastefully done in a great location. No view but just so close to portar hotel and cafes. BUT it wasn’t clear nor were we ever expecting we had to order our own linen and towels. After it was too late we then were had to pay for expensive linen charge after already out laying so much for the place. Spoilt it u fortunately.
