Good location

BBQ not clean. Two bathrooms does not mean one toilet and one bathroom, not enough for eight people. Tidy but not clean.
Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar, 2020
Hello Steve, sorry you were not happy, however the property is clearly advertised as 1 bathroom with 1 separate toilet so not sure how you came to the conclusion it has 2 bathrooms. Apologies if the BBQ was forgotten by the cleaner. This is our fault although the previous guest is supposed to clean it, we are supposed to check it has been done adequately.

holiday

The property was in a good location. However the house was poorly maintained, lamps didn't work, sofas had a strong smell and were grubby. Previous tenants had left toys lying around and general cleanliness was poor. Also found broken glass when we were cleaning up.

Great Location

Old property but everything you need is provided (just bring egg-cups if you're partial to a boiled egg!). Kitchen was definitely retro but functional. Heaps of games available, a cosy little TV room, outdoor area is lovely in the evening with possums for company, beds were comfortable. Only a few steps to the beautiful beach at the end of the road so location is great. BBQ looked a bit grime but we used trays so all good. We were five adults staying and the lack of a second bathroom/ensuite surprisingly wasn't an issue, shows how pampered we are at home :-) Overall, a great little house due to the location and we'd definitely go back.
