Our stay was most enjoyable because the condition of the property was excellent. Beside being thoroughly clean, everything in the property is well maintained, including the very pleasant back garden. Another aspect we enjoyed is the central location....just about everything is a walkable distance.
The property is beautiful. From the moment we drove up the driveway we couldn’t wait to get inside. The whole house is comfortable and spacious and clean. The back garden was well secured allowing the dog to run around without fear of her getting away. The location is within easy walk to the centre of town. Will definitely come back

Thank you, Vivienne, for your lovely review! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
Lovely spot close to everything. Main shower not working properly and shower door wouldn’t close . Outdoor area not clean . Inside very clean and comfy .
I have been a stayz client for a long time and have never scored less that 10/10 however this is the exception. I first thought it a little arrogant that there was no cancellation policy even 60 days out, but it looked good in photos and was close to town. On rocking up we were greeted by a grubby run down property, cobwebs and dirt everywhere, such a pity for a older character filled house. On entering it was like walking in to a ice box, it would have been so much nicer if someone thoughtful had switched the heating before our arrival. A very dreary old kitchen poorly cleaned, cupboards not closing properly and the sink which my wife had to scrub before use...and what's with the shredded carpet from the hall to the family room with just a couple of rugs thrown over it?. The front two rooms are very noisy in close proximity to the road and the master suit had its own problems. A constant clicking noise in the walls all night and the ensuite door that jams and is hard to use.I had to rescue my wife out of the bathroom on two occasions. The second bathroom too had its issues with the shower head leaking upwards and drenching the ceiling. The whole experience was a disappointment and we went home a day early.
Very unfortunate that a lovey historic style home is being let go so much by poor maintenance and cleaning. Score 1/10
Spacious and comfortable property, very convenient location close to the centre of town and shops. Front bedrooms can be a bit noisy due to traffic on Northern Highway. However, highly recommend!
Great property on the main street. Plenty of charm and great facilities.

Nice but could be better!
Lovely house but work required in the kitchen & bathroom. Very sparse utensils in the kitchen. Many blank walls made the house a little inpersonal.

Difficult check in
This check in was.on a week end. Couldn't contact Stazy.com by phone. For hours of trying. No contact details on the property,like a mobile phone. Only Monday to Friday, 8..4. Message left but no one to answer you. The oncall manager had sent an email with the code and his details but it was sent by email and I couldn't receive the email until I was in internet coverage.
The property needs an after hours mobile number listed on the front door in case of difficulty etc. Easily fixed.
We greatly enjoyed our time at Wandew with family and found the house and garden charming and very restful, especially sitting out on the back verandah. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed. The location is terrific for accessing basketball stadiums and the supermarket across the road is very handy! Everything was explained in the handy online guidebook and we appreciated the information about protecting ourselves from mosquitoes although we found they weren't a problem while sitting outside in the afternoon. We would consider returning!
Great location. You could walk to everything. Old port. Supermarkets. Shops and restaurants.
Fencing very secure for children and our dog Rupert.
Back garden lovely to relax in.
Loved our stay at Wandew and will definitely be coming back!
Beautifully presented property a perfect place to relax away from the main street hustle but close enough to walk into town and across the road from Coles!
Fabulous property, very clean and good location. It is on the main road, a short walk to coffee shops and town centre. Well fenced for our dog.
Would highly recommend this property.
Fantastic large house which suited our needs perfectly. Great space for the groom and groomsmen to get ready and the beautiful gardens provided lovely backgrounds for photos.
Everything was perfect, arrival using entry info was easy.
The house had all mod cons and everything that was needed for our stay. Even water bowls for our dog.
Would recommend this to all.
The house was lovely and comfortable, although the kitchen cupboards are a little tired, also had trouble unlocking & locking the front door. Small grievances as the location and size of the house was fantastic.
My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. We arrived to lamps on and a nice cool house due to the cooling being left on for us. A beautiful home with good amenities. Spacious rooms with some antique fixtures.....just lovely. Comfy beds and nice linen. Outside gardens are well maintained which made sitting outside on the wide verandah a pleasure. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay in this lovely home.
This is the first time that all the information for the property was given to us electronically and found this this be a great way accessing all the information instead of trying to find folders and information within that folder. The house was very spacious and the back yard was perfect to relax in on warm afternoon. Although on a main street it was relatively quiet especially for the main living and entertaining areas. Would definitely recommend this property.
House was lovely and my dog loved the back yard! Great location, walking distance to town centre and opposite a supermarket. Thanks Jess and Kye for your help and great communication.
