Lovely cottage really needs maintenance there’s mold from water damage in the corner of the bathroom ceiling there was a coffee machine but no pods, And worst of all I was shocked that there was no smoke alarms fitted in any part of the property my husband is tall he saw one on top of the fridge, I am pretty sure it’s illegal not to have hard wired with battery back up smoke alarms installed in Victoria

The property is nicely maintained & clean. Spacious and household equipment are available for a homely stay.Three points to concern :- Basic cleaning equipment (Broom, Vacuum cleaner, etc..) are not to be found.- Sent a message to the owner and never replied (5 days now)- Same above message was sent to Stayz email but, no one got back to us.- Living room rug/carpet seems old, so better replace it.- At the time we arrive, both garbage & garden waste bins were full to the top so, had to take all rubbish of the four days with us.Other than above, all were Ok and would recommend the place to anyone travelling to the area.- B

Den Gastgeber haben wir nicht kennen gelernt. Es fehlen Bedienungsanleitungen im Haus, um z. B. den Backofen bedienen zu können. Geschirrtücher haben gefehlt. Die Lage des Hauses ist ruhig. Das eine oder andere müßte mal instand gesetzt werden, wie die Tür zur Dusche. Es müßte auch einmal wieder die Rückseite des Hauses gereinigt werden. Außerdem gab es keinen Stuhl oder Tisch auf der hinteren Terrasse, die nicht Vogelkot verschmiert waren. Auch die Wäscheleinen inklusive Wäscheklammern waren verschmutzt.
