House was tidy but unclean. There was a terrible infestation of blow flys and cockroaches. It was so bad we killed about 20-30 flys and 3 full-size cockroaches!!!! Back yard was over grown.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We work hard to make every guest’s stay comfortable and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We arrange professional pest control annually and haven’t received other reports of cockroaches, but we’ll check the property and follow up if needed. Flies can be difficult to prevent entirely, though we’ll also look for ways to reduce them. I'm not sure what you meant by tidy but unclean.

Overall a really nice small unit. Main drawback is the shower drain is very slow, could not have a normal length shower for a normal amount of time without drain water backing up into tub. Lamp in living room was also non-functional which was a pity given it is set amongst tall trees and can be quite dark inside.

When we got there the owner had not sent through the code so the check in was slow and we stood in the rain trying to get into the property. The weather was cold and wet and the heater did not work. We contacted the owner multiple times for him to describe where the heater control was located, which we already knew. I told him it was blowing out cold air and asked if someone could fix it. There was no reply and we spent the night in the freezing cold. The sheets smelled as though they had not been washed. The stay was unpleasant at best.

Gorgeous Cottage

It’s a gorgeous, modern, well heated little cottage that is very clean, tidy and well maintained. It’s a very short walk to the local shops and easy to find.

Great location and quaint cottage ,comfortable beds,high chair and cot provided A few improvements the smell coming through the sinks wasn’t pleasant! , defiantly don’t need cold water tap on when having shower as water wasn’t hot ,no grater in kitchen,if your looking to have a glass of wine you need to bring your own glasses (given that there is a great wine cellar / beer shop just around the corner .

Mid week getaway

Arrived at the property just after check in time, had to ring the owner for key log in as it wasn't supplied. The cottage is really lovely, beautifully appointed. Only downside was not enough kindling supplied to start the fire, too damp outside, so necessitated a trip to the IGA for kindling and firestarters (left the remainder there for the next person) Beds super.comfy, bathroom very clean. My 82 year old sister very appreciative of the non slip bath surface. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would recommend this cottage easily

Lovely 2 bedroom garden cottage close the Olinda village.

I took my elderly mother for a little getaway for 2 nights. 2 family members joined us for 1 night. Enough room to sleep on the couch for 1 night. It would be great to have the little cottage out in the garden as an extra bedroom (hopefully this is a plan for the future). Little bit of painting needed in the bathroom to touch up, but otherwise very neat and tidy. Steps are needed to be negotiated at the entrance and outside so need to be aware when taking elderly folk here. Loved the comfy lounge and plenty of seating for watching TV even had access to Netflix !!! Lovely shaded garden for a warm day and open fire for winter. Would stay again really comfy for a small group.

Lovely little cottage with very quick and simple check in. The cottage overall was clean and dust free. But please be warned you are not allowed to use the fireplace. I had specifically booked this accommodation to use the fireplace - to sit in front of and relax but (yes, the ducted heating is amazing but a fire creates a cosy atmosphere which this place is missing without it). So if you specifically want a fireplace - don't book. The bathroom could use a freshen up too, dated and cheaply "renovated" along with the kitchen. But in saying all this - great size and location to relax in front of the tv (not fireplace) cook a meal and have a wonderful, uninterrupted sleep!.

Not happy. Double booked and canceled without notification

This was terrible. Communication with the owner was poor. Almost non existent. I had to chase contact. On the day of arrival, we realized we had no info relating to check in so made contact. Only to receive a reply advising us our booking was cancelled due to double booking. We booked over a month in advance. We had just arrived in Olinda when the response arrived. There was no alternative offered or suggested. We were told it wasn’t their fault and it occurred on the same day we booked. My question then is why wasn’t it picked up then and they confirmed our request for the two rooms two weeks after the booking? I feel they were deceptive and disorganised. We were left high and dry. No compensation was offered. This was a farewell weekend for my friend who is leaving the country to live overseas. Fortunately we came across Brett from Como Cottages who had a vacancy and he personally took us to it and made us feel very welcome. His service was wonderful. He saved the day and turned what was very upsetting to a blessing. So we ended up having a better experience. We were completely dissatisfied with Olinda cottages service and would never recommend them.
