Relaxed house perfect for quiet getaway

Cute, older house with a bit of charm that provided a central location for us to enjoy the surrounds. Really enjoyed being close to the walking track. Doggy door huge bonus for us, thanks!

Did not stay

Upon arrival this property was a huge disappointment and of concern especially given its website description and the high price paid. Its old, outdated and had a musty smell about it which was not going to be suitable for our friend with health issues. I visited the property manager (Brayden) who was excellent in finding us modern and suitable alternate accommodation. Brayden's customer service is of the highest order.

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I actually loved the house and location. The kitchen is really well set up and the place has a real beachy vibe. The couches and beds really let the place down, the master bed is ok but the others are awful.The couch and sleep quality is not good,The main bedroom has just a venetian blind that doesnt keep any light out. So much that my husband left early. If you are ok with a relaxed, cleanish beach house then you will love it. I did.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately, it was a disappointing stay. We were aware that we had booked a 'rustic' experience, but mice, red backs and a bedroom that made me dry reach due to the damp smell is unacceptable. My daughter even had a shard of glass stuck in her big toe due to uncleanliness.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Windsong is located in a lovely position in Paynesville. As far as space, it was perfect as we had family over for Christmas lunch.The beds were very comfortable with clean linen supplied. Kitchen was well supplied however the oven was not particularly good as it was very slow.When we arrived we found the bins full so not very impressed. TThe step in the kitchen was quite a hazard as it is not clearly visible that it is there. A few of us fell off this step on a few occasions including elderley parents. I would suggest that something be put there to make it more visible or you may find that someone has a serious accident.Blinds in the bedrooms were dusty and dirtyOverall all was ok however for what it was,we felt it was too expensive. Perhaps there could be some updating of the furniture in the dining/entry area.
