We really enjoyed our stay here as it was the perfect location for our needs. The house has plenty of character and is spacious. Thank you for having us.
Home was quintessential Machans Beach style. We found it very much to our liking. The main bedroom was very comfortable - great bed, slept great. We appreciated the Kuranda Conservation framed bin sticker - our daughter volunteers there. Excellent kitchen.
The property was excellent. It was clean, tidy and fun. The one hiccup was that the LED light over the bed would not turn off and not dim sufficiently to allow us to sleep. We had to climb up on a chair on the bed to cover the light with paper.However, after being screamed at by your representative (employee?) Isabell, and subject to unpleasant emails from her, we will not use Stayz again and would not recommend the service.Chris Gallus
