Overall good property for family holidays but let down by poorly maintained BBQ and corroding outdoor furniture.

Thank you for rating us and for sharing your thoughts, Anthony. We will coordinate your remarks with our housekeeping team for necessary action. We hope to have you back soon.
The property is clean and spacious and suitable for big group travelers. It is situated in handy location to shops and beach. You need to bring your own sheets or sleeping bags. There was no dryer or washing machine detergent during our stay.

Has potential
Great property, just needs a bit of love and maintenance to get it right again. Fridge leaked water all over our food from ? from above freezer so had to throw food out we had prepared. BBQ in poor condition-rusty, aged, not clean therefore didn’t feel happy to use it. Average cleaning prior to us arriving, taps grotty. Generally tired.
Pillow cover shredded, some bedding stained. Doonas didn’t fit covers.
Putting green outside not usable- holes full of leaves, no putters.
Poor shower water pressure downstairs and had to fix shower head upstairs so it would stay upright.
Okay otherwise close to beach, town. Quiet. Rooms, space good.
