Run down but great location

Loved location and that block was fenced in but took 24hrs for hot water to kick in and was in need of a good clean.

Good location

The house was in a great location to the town. It was a bit more run-down than how the photos made it look. The house also had quite a musty smokey smell inside. Otherwise, it had all that we needed.

Quirky Retro

Functional albeit a little rundown. On the plus side it suited my needs and was an easy short walk to the beach which I loved. I suspect the photos of the outside on stayz may have been taken some years ago. Some grime in places (tea and coffee canisters, kitchen drawers, cupboard doors.... could do with a spring clean
