Bairnsdale

Generally the property met online listing. The beds were amazingly comfortable and we really appreciated the electric blankets. The only area I can really pick is whoever cleaned the property before we went in did a fairly surface job. There were dirty used tissues in one of the bedrooms and if you have raised couches, you need to do under them. Could do with a smart tv as we couldn’t connect but didn’t really miss that. Would like to suggest that someone puts the heater on an hour before check in time as the house was bitterly cold at 4pm when we went in and took forever to warm up as there really is only an old heater in the lounge to heat the house. The portable radiator didn’t help much in the midst of winter and we definitely would have appreciated a tumble dryer. Overall though the house was great for 5 kids and 2 adults and would definitely consider renting again as it has a lovely home feel to it.
