We were really disappointed in the overall state of this accommodation. While the house is okay enough to stay in, it's just disappointing to see that so many corners are/were cut.
The cutlery, crockery, and utensils were super dirty and need replacing. Glad we brought our own pan, because there is no way we would have cooked in the one that was provided.
The kettle had years of calcium build up in it (which we cleaned - it took all of 5 minutes).
The house had more broken chairs than functional ones (and the broken ones were just left to sit in a corner of the front deck). The lounge was not comfortable enough to sit in for more than an hour and not big enough to accommodate the amount of people that can stay in this property.
The beds were relatively comfy though there were only single and double beds, no queen sized beds, which these days you'd kind of expect to see.
The dust in the house and the amount of cobwebs was truly unbelievable, which is really bad for severe dust mite allergy sufferers like myself. The fans and the walls were covered in years of dust, I'm really glad we didn't have to turn them on.
There were plenty of small heaters so we managed to get warm, which is lucky, because the wood fire was not all that effective. It didn't distribute a lot of heat at all.
There are no curtains or blinds in the main part of the house which doesn't allow for any privacy, and even in the bathroom, there was just a flimsy curtain that doesn't really do anything much.
The flyscreens were half hanging off the windows (especially in the kitchen).
While we understand that some concessions might need to be made here and there when you're staying in accommodation that allows for pets, the overall cleanliness is severely lacking.
The location is great, with excellent views over the ocean - and the checkin procedure through the realtor was very smooth.
Stove, fridge, shower and toilet were all good.
The dogs had a great time running around on the property, which sits on a large block of land.
Overall, I'd stay here again if some improvements were made and some of the yuckiness is improved upon, but other than that, probably not.
