Outstanding location

Staying in the Old Collingwood Post Office is both a ‘convenience’ stay (situated in the same building as Hotel Jesus, it is a short walk through a foyer to step out into the middle of Smith St and all that has to offer) and an ‘experience’ stay (trying to work out aspects of the architecture and how they may have featured in the original post office filled us with fascination!) Absolutely loved it!

Wonderful Collingwood Stay

Lovely apartment with character in excellent location. Well presented with open plan kitchen with all amenities. Spacious lounge area with plenty or room for four of us. Front door opened onto Smith Street with all its shops and cafes. Parking very convenient at the rear. Fantastic communication with the host, who was very helpful and easy to contact. We loved it. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Our expectations for this property were not what we experienced. A somewhat confusing arrival, and the second bath is downstairs while the bedroom is on the second floor. It’s a very unique property and would benefit from more photos and description. One suggestion would be to leave information in the apartment for how to access the WiFi.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
After being in communication with the host for a number of days about the entry details and check in time I arrived at the property at the agreed time to find the property door was ajar and not secured. On entry to the property I found it had not been cleaned. After unsatisfactory communication with the host and the stress it was causing me, I left to find alternative accommodation.
