Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This property is in a great position a short walk from the Strand. It is quiet and well appointed. It was ideal for my family and I to have as a base to attend a family wedding. One thing…although it is advertised as having 5 beds, the 5th is a trundle which would need to be set up in the living room. It is also up a flight of stairs so not ideal for anyone with a significant physical disability. Communication with the host was excellent. Really, when what you need is a base to do things from that is close to the beautiful Townsville Strand and is reasonably priced, I would recommend it.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Accommodation in a great location, lovely and clean. Nice furnishings, very comfy beds, couch not overly comfortable but does the job. Linen clean and fresh. Great kitchen supplies for cooking. Had one towel each for our stay, for 5 days could have done with a spare towel each. Only other thing was trundle bed had to chase linen for, would have been great if all made up. But sorted very quickly with a couple of emails!

They dont have a great and reliable customee service

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location of the place is great, the place was great but the customer service is pathetic, they dont have a physical office, no housekeeping was done for the days we were there, no sheets were changed, we encountered few faults like shower tap water was faulty, the toilet blocked and they took days to come repair it so i did not like they services at all ,
