Very poor presentation of property!
The Retreat is a lovely holiday home situated in one of the more prime locations on Hamilton Island! We all had a wonderful holiday, however …if we were the owners of this property we would be very disappointed in the cleaning service and general maintenance that this property receives. When you pay Good money for a week, you expect a clean and well presented house.
We had to move a lounge slightly forward to open bifold doors the amount of dust/hair/insects under that lounge was enough to say it hadn’t been moved for years!! All of the lounges inside were dirty and had mold on it. Decorative flowers on dining table were a disgrace, again covered in mold. Every slightly hidden corner in the house eg: where lamps stood or a chair was or behind table in main bedroom and under bed in down stairs bedroom ( granted you don’t normally go under beds, but when a two year old drops a toy and you go after) the amount of dust/insects and whatever else you can think of was there, I’m talking years not a few months worth. All outside furniture was filthy, big gross stains and again mold and we understand that it is a tropical island but again no upkeep is being done on anything. There is a strong sewer smell coming from under the house which you have no way of escaping when trying to enjoy swimming in the pool. We have never written a review before but we all felt so strongly about this that it needed to be said. We are all really hoping it won’t fall on deaf ears because as mentioned above if we owned this beautiful property we would be absolutely devastated that no one seems to have a care in the world about it and how it’s presented.
