Comfortable but grotty

While we could see from the photos that this cottage was an oldish fibro, this didn’t bother us because it looked fresh and clean inside. However we found that the place was not particularly clean. Many surfaces were grimy, there was an old bread bag under one of the single beds with dried up crusts in, and there were lots of ants constantly on the kitchen bench. There were also a lot of mozzies hanging around the front door. We had a lovely holiday because Southwest Rocks is a great destination and we don’t go away a lot, however it would have been even better if this place had been really clean and better maintained.
