The house was very comfortable. It had everything we needed except for a hairdryer, we didn’t bring one assuming there would be one there. Having aircon in all the bedrooms was great. The only negative I could say about the house was that it could have been a bit cleaner. The floors in the living area weren’t clean and the outside, especially the windows, could have done with a clean. There were cobwebs everywhere and if you’re going to have a window above the kitchen sink clean it. Overall a good place to stay for a large group.

Hi Teresa,
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re really glad to hear you found the house comfortable and well-equipped for your group, and that you enjoyed the air conditioning in all the bedrooms.
We’re sorry to hear that the cleanliness didn’t meet expectations, particularly with the floors, windows, and cobwebs. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we’ll be addressing this with our cleaning team to ensure these areas receive more attention.
Just to provide a bit of context, the tiled floors in the property are unsealed, which means they can sometimes appear marked even after thorough cleaning. That said, we absolutely take your feedback on board and will continue working to improve the overall presentation of the home.
Thank you again for your comments, and we’re glad to hear you still had an overall good stay. We’d love the opportunity to host you again in the future.
