Hi Lara, I'm glad you appreciated the location. Will you please let me know why you gave the property four start, not five? I'm keen to improve the experience of future guests. Gillian

After last payment I was told only one bathroom was functional. I accepted this as it was too late to look for another property but my son (who stayed at the property ) felt that this was not a recent problem.Windows were also a problem. No WiFi - unusual in this day & age

Sorry you felt this way, however I did let you know as soon as the plumber did the work to find a leek. It was several weeks before your stay and you were entitled to a 100% refund. As it's low peak I could have helped you find a suitable property. The description of the property clearly states that there is no WiFi as most people hot spot off of their phones. I'm happy to provide it but as I explain in the description, I try to keep the price lower to keep it affordable for families. I hope your next visit to Goolwa is more suitable to your needs.
