Won’t Recommend!

Unfortunately, we had to canceled our stay in this villa. What a waste of time, drove all the way from Sydney to have a break for the kids School holidays but upon checking into the room/villa we are welcomed with an awful smell. Mouldy, dusty, old kinda smell the place are not clean properly it has full of thick dust everywhere, carpet are dirty and so much stains, the bed had already shrank and outdated, the bed runner/blanket is very dirty it is unwashed I’m sure for a long time. The curtains are very mouldy it is very obvious and visible to everyone because you can clearly see it from outside too through the glass wall, even our kids had noticed it. Even though we did not spend a night from this property from our 3 nights booking, this is an fyi especially if you are traveling with kids it’s not very good hygiene at all. I appreciated the owner offered us to cancelled our booking after checked in, for this we are happy and we booked for hotel in the city instead.

The staff are great. Very clean. Quiet people. It was very cold in Winter. The air con didn’t warm the villa well. I would like to visit again. However, Summer and Spring is best. The pool & BBQ area are kept extremely clean.

This property was perfect for our stay and very comfortable. There were ants in the kitchenette on our first morning and there were some stains on the curtains and the back of the sofa. The beds were very comfortable and even though it was cold for our stay, the bedding and accommodation was very warm. We would stay here again. Thank you :)
