House is dirty, in poor condition and has lots of damaged walls, fittings and furniture

Whilst the location is fantastic, the entire house needs a major refresh, to the point that even the whisk is broken. Could be great, but the overall cleanliness, and damage to the place, and the condition needs major updating.

Don’t hire this house

It was dirt. The bbq was dirt and rusty unable to be used. We had 10 people in the house and had to eat out every day for a week because we couldn’t use the BBQ. Property Manager didn’t care about it offered no solution. If we are on holidays we don’t want to use the kitchen we want BBQs and be able to enjoy the outdoors. Half the lights in house were broken. The toilet was broken the cleaners didn’t tell the properly manager so we had to deal with that. Disgusting

Good Location but needs some TLC

The house is large and close to Shoal Bay and beaches. BUT ... The house was not clean on our arrival. Bin stank, bathrooms with hair, dusty. Kitchen benches and cupboards dirty. Beds had stains and doonas etc were old and looked as if they hadnt been laundered for a very long time. Blinds and curtains with holes or broken. Blown lights, flat batteries in remotes and the air conditioning remote did not work even after replacing the batteries. There is a lot more I could point out that required maintenance or replacement. Over priced and did not meet our expectations.
