We hired this property as a family home with our six kids to stay in during our wedding weekend. Our stay was thoroughly unenjoyable for many reasons.
Firstly, do not stay here unless you are prepared to have the owner remotely watch and listen to you with multiple cameras around the property.
The owner/manager Rebecca admitted to us that she had been watching and listening to us via the security cameras, without our consent! Which I’m reasonably sure is illegal.
She messaged and phoned us multiple times on the Sunday morning after our wedding, and screamed abuse at us about one of the neighbours making a noise complaint, and that we had left the exterior lights off after 10pm. I apologised for any disruptions and suggested that noise complaints are normally dealt with via the police - whom I would have been more than happy to talk to - instead of being screamed at by the landlord.
We had eight friends over for a quiet drink after our wedding, we did not have any dancing or any kind of party. Yes the back doors were open because the house has no A/C and was so hot!
We had kids asleep in the next room, so the noise was no too loud.
Unbelievably, she insisted that I knock on the neighbours door to apologise and give him a case of beer.
Other issues: the 80 step down to the house that made access in and out extremely difficult, and our elderly parents were not able to visit.
There is NO air conditioning, making the small stuffy kids rooms very uncomfortable. The water pressure was not amazing, the traffic noise was very loud and the cleaning fee is outrageous, especially considering she expects the guest to clean up, empty the dishwasher and take all of the rubbish up the 80 steps!!!
There were at least ten signs/notes scattered in various locations around the house with lists of her rules and regulations.
Based on her response to other reviews, I’m assuming that she will have a rant after we post this. We are currently considering whether to report her behaviour to the relevant authorities.
