Loved the location across from the beach. Loved how well appointed the place was. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. The only disappointment is that it advertised as a 2 bathroom house and there were 2 couples. Everywhere else 2 bathrooms 2 toilets/2 showers. This place has a bath in one room and a toilet and shower in the other. Our friends booked in elsewhere.

Hi Kellie, as the photos and description very clearly indicated the bathroom set up of the house which you said yourself you had not read. We offered you a full refund to check out and you refused the offer. Please read listings and check photos before booking to avoid disappointment.

The location of this bach is prefect. Right across the road from the beach. The beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook at home. However there are so many good restaurants a quick walk away, why would you?

Very cool retro apartment in great location with amazing view of beach and surf. Easy walk to shops and restaurants etc. Had everything you would need and well stocked kitchen. There is just one bathroom and it is dated but was part of the charm. Excellent communication before and thoughout stay.

Perfect location

We parked our car and didn’t get in it for 3 days! Beach, walks, cafes and restaurants all within walking range. Great outlook. Thanks for sharing your lovely apartment.

Spot on

Brilliant space. Bigger than expected. Great location. Loved the deck in the afternoon for reading on the couch. Excellent kitchen and laundry. So good having three singles in second room instead of bunks. Good bathroom. Dated but perfectly functional. Just everything you need. Can't rate it high enough and would definitely love to stay again. Thank you.

International returning visitor to the Mount

The view was great and main reason we rented it. Loved the ocean view and surfers in front of us daily. We rented for patio. Would have been a better patio with a proper table to dine . Only a coffee table available outside . However the place is tired which didn’t show as much in photos. Not particularly clean either. Sliding doors were very dirty and wallpaper coming off. A few appliances like bbq didn’t work well until we cleaned as it was filthy, no microwave which should be essential , and toaster oven didn’t work . Bedroom was too hot to sleep so we had to move mattress into lounge where there is an A/C. And when it was windy the windows howled as there wasn’t a proper seal. I have stayed in Mount 7 times and this place was good but overpriced for the condition of place .the view of ocean has to be worth the price. The apartment is really a Bach and could use a reno.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Mar, 2025
The guest demanded extra towels and sheets on arrival including beach towels which are rented at $6/stay and were never paid for. She said the bbq didn’t work but it started fine after the rain had passed. No mention of it being dirty and the windows had been cleaned right before her stay. The photos and listing description of the property are completely accurate showing the outside furniture, retro kiwi-bach style kitchen (with no microwave) and bathroom and an a/c unit in the lounge. The property has an oven, stove, air fryer, bbq and toaster to cook food, but no microwave. If these were absolute requirements for the guests stay then they should have booked elsewhere. To give a three star review after booking a property that did not have a/c in the bedroom, a microwave and a three seater lounge suite with coffee table not dining table (when clearly stating in descriptions and photos) is incredibly unfair to the manager and owner. The guests were coddled their entire stay for their every demand and whim. I do not recommend these guests to any other host after this ridiculously unjustified review.

Beautiful peaceful and relaxing haven

This was everything we wanted and more. Its in perfect location, once we arrived we didn't use our cars until we left. Right across the road from the beach, with easy walking distance to everything we needed. Nights on the sofa on the deck, chatting away listening to the ocean. The apartment has everything we needed and was tidy, clean and well organised. The beds and pillows comfy and linen was devine. The communication with booking, arriving and leaving was all we could ask for. Thank you so much, we look forward to staying again xx
