82 Sandy Bay Farms road - domestic water supply issues and exterior conditions

Hi,I phoned during our stay about the state of 82 Sandy Bay Farms road. The biggest concern was the smell of the water from the faucets, especially in the showers and baths. The water had a significant sewage smell to it. It lingered on all of us after we've been through a shower or a bath. The exterior of the house was also dirty. I've sent some photos in a separate email. There were spiderwebs everywhere, one of the white tails got into the house, but I got rid of it before it got close to my child. Even if the facades are left as it was, the courtyard could at minimum have been swept. I'm sending this for two reasons. Firstly that I hope this reaches the owner, with the assumption that he doesn't know. Secondly, I feel that we've paid a reasonable amount for the house for a sentimental weekend, but the state of the house and issues with domestic water supply took away from the experience. We had a good weekend overall, but there is a bit of savory feeling about the weekend. I trust this will reach the right people. Kind Regards,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, Elmi. We understand how important it is to have a comfortable and well-maintained environment, and we regret that aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. The owner has looked into the water supply, and testing has confirmed it is safe, but we recognise that the odour was unpleasant and are looking into it further. A deep clean of the exterior has also been arranged to address the concerns you raised. We appreciate your patience as we work on improvements and are glad to hear you still had a good weekend overall. Reputation & Resolutions Coordinators, Bachcare.

Loved this property, the house itself is great and the views are lovely.

Loved this property, the house itself is great and the views are lovely. The only downsides were that the cleaning could be improved and bedding provided could do with an upgrade, we provided our own linen so that was not really an issue but thought it worth noting for future guests. Otherwise the house was magic and we had a very enjoyable stay.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback, Courtney. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the great views, and I’ve passed your comments about the cleaning and linen services onto our awesome team who are already working to rectify the issue. We hope you had a good getaway regardless, and hope we can accommodate your group again in the future. Cheers, Alexia
