Dampness
The house is extremely damp to the point it causes breathing difficulty. We had to open every single window and door to try and air it out. We all ended up coughing because of it. I would go to the extent of saying it is a health hazard !!! Also it is quite cool at night but the only heating is a bar heater with frayed wiring and summer strength doonas . We could not use any blankets from cupboards because of the extreme smell of mould !!! I advise anyone looking at this house to stay in to look elsewhere.

Excellent location and great outlook
Excellent location and great outlook from many rooms. The two queen bed rooms were great.
The bunk room smelt very musty/dusty and there were no screens so windows could not be opened. The wooden sliding door to the bunk bed room did not slide easily.
The single beds bed room was rather musty/dusty and there were small crawling insects that kept being found on the bed that was situated under the window.
The sheets and towels overall were very clean however the doona covers, doonas and spare woollen blankets although good quality needed to be washed as they smelt very dusty/musty. Once I had washed all doona covers/doonas and woollen blankets on the first day our stay was much more comfortable. Both my son and I are allergic to dust so without washing everything our stay would have been full of sneezing and antihistamines.
Love the open plan kitchen and lounge area, great that all the blinds function enough to enable them to be closed each night.

Great location and view
The property was in a great spot, a short walk to the shops and beaches with wonderful views. The beds were comfortable and the towels and bedding were fine. The house is older but works. We had a great time.

Great location, needs some maintenance work to fix the leaks.
We enjoyed our stay. The price was fair. Communication was good. The property needs a bit of maintenance to fix the leaks from the roof, but to be fair there was a lot of rain leading up to our say. Thanks for letting us stay.

Its basic but clean and in a good location
It’s perfect if seeking a basic place to stay. A split system and better cookware cutlery would be a worthwhile investment for the owners
