Great house for a large group. The house had some toys and was set up for kids which was great. The aircon and fire warmed the living space but it didn’t get to the bedrooms. There were small heaters in the bedrooms and electric blankets. The bedroom door to the small room didn’t close due to the bed. Host was responsive to communication.

Lovely stay at Marysville

Stayed here with my kids and another couple and their kids. Everything was clean and neat when checked in. Great location close to everything in Marysville. The fireplace was great for such a cold weekend but a little firewood would be good. Great place to stay for two families!

This property was well set up. Had all the amenities needed- heaters, kitchen utensils etc. Only thing that was strange- the bunk beds bedroom, the door can’t close. Very tricky to not wake up kids sleeping in there. When we needed something, the host was very quick to respond and provide what we requested.

Birthday Break

The house was well set up and cosy. The firewood however was damp and wet; lucky we bought our own kindling and fire starters (there were none), so this wasn't a problem in the end. Safety switch for power points tripped twice; we found that the double power point in the main bedroom of which one side didn't work. This aside the house represents excellent value for a family of seven.

Hi Trevor, Very sorry to hear your wood was damp and not able to use the woodfire. We have a 24 hr contact number for all these instances that guests can call. Would not of been a problem to pop around some dry wood and fire starters for your comfort. We will check the power point in the main bedroom also. Kind Regards Professional Marysville

Sad time in Marysville

This property was touted as wheelchair friendly. The path up from the car certainly was. However, when you get to the top of the path there are stairs into the house which are too close to be able to turn wheelchair around and too steep for a wheelchair to go up. Because of the compactness of the laundry accessibility through the back door is also non existent. Very frustrating. Code to get into property was not emailed to us and we had to pack wheelchair user back into the car to go down into the village to look for an emergency after hours number to get it. Two codes later and we were finally able to get in. The list of cleaning (or else big fines) was unnecessary and unfair given that it was not a party house and we were here for a break. Imagine then the disappointment that we were asked to do all these jobs, yet the house had not been checked from the previous people and had not been dusted or cobwebbed or de-moused.Also asked to clean fridge and freezer before we left, but not so much as a bottle of milk in there to welcome us.The least friendly stayz we have ever used. A shame really when Marysville is such a pretty place

Dear Raymond, Very sorry for the mix up with the Wheelchair access placed on the listing. Murchison Cottage definitely is not this. If l had known you were needing a home for Wheelchair access l would of moved you to another home immediately ..Again, very sorry. Due to not receiving your Check-in until l was able to reach you on your way to Murchison Cottage that afternoon, the system was late sending the Pre-Arrival to you. l also sent a Pre-Arrival just in case this was the problem, but still the system was slow. We do request all guests to tidy up on their departure, not do a deep clean. Also to place their indoor rubbish in the outside bins provided and clean the BBQ if used. The $40.00 charges are quite reasonable if the cleaners are needing to scrub BBQ and spilt food in bins. As shown on the House Rules to which you signed, all of the above was clearly stated. Marysville is a country town and we occasionally have mice scamper through some of the homes, l will confirm with the cleaner to pop back and go over the home when there are limited bookings. Very sorry we missed the few droppings found behind the cupboard. We hope to see you again with a happier and more comfortable stay. Please don't hesitate to ask for me if you visit us again and l will arrange a home that is suitable for yourself & your guests. Warm Regards Paula Professionals Marysville

Clean and cold

This property was clean and fine - however, the bedrooms didn't have heaters, only electric blankets, and all the rooms but for the living room were freezing when we visited in the winter. Some of the kids staying with us got sick as a result. Perhaps it would be fine in summer, but wouldn't recommend in winter. Also wasn't a fan of providing a copy of my personal ID documents on check-in - not a fan of Stayz in that regard.

Comfortable no frills house

Enjoyed our stay lovely outlook to gardens. No firewood supplied. Short drive to town I don’t think there is a footpath to walk there. Driveway to get to house on incline and rough track up to drive. Would be nice to have pillow protectors. Well appointed kitchen.
