Disliked: Cleanliness
Bruny Island
Was not as clean as I would have liked. Cobwebs everywhere on the roof. Instructions on how to open and close the roof panels would be beneficial for those who don't like being woken at the crack of dawn by broad daylight at 6am. Needs a lot of maintenance and a good spring clean. Most of the Venetian blinds on the windows were damaged and the wooden chairs felt like they were going to break when you sat on them..
