Upon arrival, I was met by a letter box askew upon the front fence, a backyard which needs mowing, an overgrown firepit full of ash and unburnt remnants of wood and charcoal plus a variety of large items of junk scattered around.
Indoors, it is obvious that some renovating has been done to a somewhat-acceptable standard. However, with the shower over a very high-sided, narrow bath with rounded base to balance upon and the ‘all-around shower-curtain with tap handles poking through it is extraordinary! Furthermore, climbing over the sides of the tub without even a grab-rail is hazardous.
In short, such a ‘bathroom set-up’ and no ventilation would certainly fail an OH&S inspection. Similarly, the fact that some doors to the outside of the building are permanently locked and therefore unavailable in an evacuation emergency is an OH&S issue.
Given its location, it is obvious that following a major tidy-up, once essential maintenance is undertaken, renovations are completed and with some attention to presentation, "Homewood Cottage" has the makings of an excellent holiday rental.
