Beautiful house, beautiful location
We recently stayed at this lovely home in Jamberoo and overall had an enjoyable time. The house itself is beautifully set in a peaceful and scenic location, and it was well-equipped for a comfortable stay. It’s also conveniently located near Kiama and Gerringong, which made for some great day trips.That said, there were some issues that affected our experience. When we originally booked 3 months prior, the listing advertised that the house could sleep 22 guests. A week before our stay, we found out that it only accommodated 16 - the host did not inform us, I just happen to look at the listing again when paying. This caused a bit of last-minute stress as we had 20 guests. We had to make do with sofa beds, lounges, and pull-outs, and bring some of our own bedding. Thankfully, there were enough towels for everyone.We were also surprised to arrive and find the house unlocked and the garage open- perhaps normal for a quiet area like Jamberoo?During our stay, we received a complaint accusing us of setting off fireworks and making excessive noise, which was disappointing as we had turned the music down by 10pm and were all in bed by midnight. With 20 people talking in the living room, some level of noise should be expected.All in all, the home and location were great, and we would consider booking the house again. However, the last-minute changes and communication issues with the host would make us hesitant to book with them specifically in the future.
