Very welcoming hosts, happy to accommodate any needs we had, the house was lovely and tidy with comfortable beds, Mojo is the sweetest dog who would happily come upstairs when I called him for lots of cuddles.

The property had its own pet dog, which my son got to go and have pats with! We didn't have our own pets there so not applicable from our end. We only used the upstairs area of the house so can't comment on overall facilities. Pool did look nice for a dip if it was summer though!

Great homestay by Wes and his lovely wife. Spacious and clean. Very nice facilities spa and sauna. Pool was much welcomed by my kids. Breakfast included. Everything you need to chill out without leaving. Bed in guest room was a lot firmer then what we use to. Felt very welcomed and great conversations had by our initiation. Defs stay again but without the kids.

Mr Minns left soiled panty's in the room and left a scribbled note on my kitchen bench regarding my dog not getting along with his dog. However he sent me a text the prior day saying how well they got along. Also, Phil, tried to claim my kitchen had grease but when he knew I had taken pictures he decided just to do a score base review as I had proof to debunk this. Phil never cleaned up after his dog or himself and his behaviour is dishonest. This score is not a genuine reflection of our place and is likely a competitor. We take on and welcome honest criticism but this was a pre-meditated attack done in bad faith.

The hosts were ok but I feel like in the description they should include that you are staying with the whole family. We didn’t realise this until we arrived at the house and felt very uncomfortable. Because we’re staying with the family we’re restricted on what time we could do certain things and didn’t feel comfortable staying in the home anymore. We had to cut our stay short and left the next day after check in. One of the host said we’re fine to leave and that we could come back because we already paid to use the pool ect. but literally 5 minutes after we left he said he went into our room and couldn’t find out bags so that means we’ve officially checked out. We never told him our plan to take all of our stuff so I think going into our room was completely inappropriate and a violation of our privacy. Just the thought of what if we left all our bags there and he looked in them keeps running in my mind. This is a lovely place to stay if you enjoy staying with people but definitely not for people who enjoy their alone time.

We advertise as a shared house. No where would you get a 4 bedroom, 3 bathrooms and 2 lounge rooms with spa, pool and sauna on a acre of land. near the water with all the attributes you said you loved. You spoke to my husband before arriving several times. You paid less than 200 dollars for your private area space that is very generous,, and, is basically the entire upstairs. There is only 3 of us and my son was out. You then wanted to bring guests into the house who have not booked and against-not only house rule but the platform itself. We said you can have 4 visitors stay til 10.00 pm but they could not sleep over. You kept changing your plans from wanting to cook to how many people you wish to entertain to wanting to use the pool. You knew very well once you leave and take your luggage you have checked out and we told you if you check out we are not insured for you to come back and use our Wellness Facilities. The entire booking was strange. You said you are a Youth Leader for Hillsong and down for the event but the West Sydney Campus could not see you on their registry. To be honest we thought you were casing the place because you know 200 dollars would not suffice to stay in a 2 million dollar property. Your calls and messages factually support you knew it was shared. So what are your true intentions. Very unsettling booking from a safety perspective and therefore I cannot recommend you to future hosts.. Sorry! but a hostel is more aligned to your affordability…
