Pictures Speak a 1000 words, but can Lie as well!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property was absolutely untidy and dirty. There were balloon fragments behind and under furniture, in plain sight. Some of the Furtniture looked like theye were picked from roadside collections (and I am not kidding). Stovetop was terrible. Fans all rusted and dirty. The building structure and location is great, but interior is really bad.I have pictures to back this up, but will spare the host some embarrassment.A cleaning fee is included in every stay, but cleaning is obviously not done. I sent an email letting Winning Holidays know of this 1st think on Satruday morning, and they offered to "send the cleaners" thereafter. No Winning Holidays, you don't get to hope that guests will overlook the condition of this rental, saving some costs until someone complains.

Different in reality

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The picture in the website is completely different to reality, the beach is full of seaweed you can’t even see the sand and you can’t swim it’s for boat only, the backyard it’s dirty with no privacy so people will be walking anytime , next to the house there are public bathroom and park and always has people drunk and teenagers and noises , I was too worried to go out for my sake and my kids. The house from inside was ok a bit old, no air conditioning only fans which cooled the house but was too noisy, the rubbish bins were very dirty and had maggots. Kitchen oven and grill don’t work. Dish a washer handle was broken.The house was close to few beaches and shopping centre.

Outdoor furniture is unsafe cracked weathered. House in great location but not for swimming as thers seaweed ++. TV sound not functional & remote is faulty. Fly screens doors need repairs. Cleaners were called on day 1 & attended late in the day to clean premises. Kitchen implements needed, a fry pan & rice cooker, carving knives, peeler would be appreciated.

Very TIRED house - overall disappointing

We were a family of 7 that stayed in this property. Overall, the property was terribly maintained. From the moment you arrive in the driveway, garden is overgrown - weeds everywhere. Inside the house, mould all over every fan, house stank of damp and stale cigarettes. Flyscreens were broken - stumps of wood in the bathrooms to keep the windows locked, vertical blinds broken and missing. Beds in the bedrooms Very tired. I saw about 10 cockroaches over our weekend stay. Would highly advise against anyone booking this property to avoid disappointment. The property location itself was great - great views and a small park right next door. It is such a shame the property isn't being maintained and cleaned adequately.

Steer Clear! Old, damp and dirty!

Extremely uncomfortable furniture and beds. Furniture old and stained. Very noisy property with uneven floor boards. You pay top dollar for water views and have to clean the windows yourself. We couldn't use one bedroom as it smelt so bad, damp and mould. Would not recommend. By far the worst property I have stayed in. They have the very bare minimum in kitchen ware. No A/C. Not good enough. Very very disappointed.

Dear Lisa, Thank you for your feedback. We have discussed your issues with the owner and she has since replaced Beds, Mattress' and all Lounges in the property. Kitchen items have been restocked and the carpets will be replaced this year. As this is a waterfront property, having the windows cleaned for guests arrival can be subject to weather conditions however we do try our best to keep on top of this. We hope to welcome you back to the property with these improvements. Thank you, PRD Holiday Team

Absolute water front

Huge flat house with flat lawn to waters edge. Plenty of walking tracks (and of course the beach) nearby. Walk to local shops for all necessities. Next door to park for kids. Quiet street, no traffic noise. Comfy beds.
