Not impressed

The inside of the house was clean. Outside untidy and unsafe. Had to wash all plates, cutlery everything before use. Nothing to clean BBQ with. Uncomfortable beds. 1 room way too hot to go in. Mildew/ mould all over cement. Trip and slip hazards in yard. Unsafe ramp to pontoon. Not signed 30 in the front of house. Would never stay there again.

Great bed

Before I write this review I did not contact a host or agent as it stated on the sheet only in emergencies. I'm sorry but I can't believe this property had been cleaned as there were still marks in one of the toilets. We were met with 2 deceased cockroaches and 3 live and running. There is a strange smell throughout and several pillows were stained. I shall stop there. The upstairs bedroom was great and comfortable and the neighbourhood quite and friendly. The house has great potential but cleanliness no.

Disappointed

The property was dirty. We paid a cleaning fee and it was not clean at all. The windows and tracks, floors, cupboards, cabinetry, tiles, furniture, bedspreads and pillows were all disgusting. We had blood and dead skin strains on our pillows. Anti depressant medication on our child’s bedspread. Food and dirt in drawers, floors etc. The downstairs shower screen was difficult to open due to handle issues. Damaged/unsafe pontoon which we were advised of three days before check in. The damage looked quite old and not recent. The ripped carpet off the pontoon was just thrown on the fence line and not even in the bin. It was too late for us to find another property with a pontoon available for that weekend.

View was excellent, property was very dirty

I don't think the BBQ has been cleaned in awhile. There wasn't enough cutlery for everyone, there where cockroaches all in the cupboards, and the floors were dirty when we arrived.

Filthy and smelly place

The place was full of dust, kitchen sink smelled rotten and had mould everywhere, the toilets smelled of urine we used toilet duck on them and still smelled badly. The carpets smelled horrible of urine like as if there were pets in there prior and had urinated and no professional carpet cleaning was done, the showers had not been cleaned for years by the amount of mould there was and the drains were clogged in the showers.The air conditioner filters were not cleaned for years. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY! My daughter dry reached by how bad the house was a few times. We have pictures to prove this.

Leanne P., Port Macquarie, Australia

Minimalist

Remotes with dead batteries, fans not working, only 2 bedrooms have airconditioning, the back one is very hot has no airconditioning and a pedestal fan did not work. Only enough cutlery for 6, when it can sleep 8 or 9? This booking ends up at Bribie Island Real Estate - and they were very hard to deal with. Only provided 1 key for 6 adults - what a joke. We managed to get a second one provided grudgingly. About 3 months before the stay we had thought we may need to cancel and were told that even if they get another booking we would still be liable for 50% of the total cost - unbelievable. I asked who gets the money and didn't get a reply. On Bribie over Christmas everything books out. Luckily we didn't need to cancel. But please read the small print. I would never book anything linked to this Real Estate Agency again.

Beautiful, quiet location. Wonderful clean home

Overall experience very pleasing. Nice kitchen, bathrooms and appliances. Beds were comfortable. WIFI worked very well. View was amazing! Would recommend taking a few electrical extension cables to use a couple of items such as bedside lamp and drier. Other than that, everything else was supplied. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.
