Disliked: Cleanliness
There is no off street parking and hard to get close to property when trying to unload. We arrived late traveling from Adelaide no lighting at all at entrance. Entrance itself was very dirty and a lot of spiders. - Coffee Machine was filthy- No top Sheet on bet.- Mattress on bed was a double with a Queen base- Balconies were very dirty with a lot of cob webs and spiders.- No Physical guest Book.- No TV Remote for Free to Air TV - So could only watch movies etc.- Only one capsule for the dish washer. We were there for three nights.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025
