The house was good, location was fine. But we had no internet after the first night, we were told we had to buy more internet through Skinny, if we wanted to use more internet. You should state this happens in the information about the house when booking so people know i booked 6 nights i expected wiifi for those 6 nights.Also on your information sheet at the house you may want to mention how to use the rangehood as there is no instructions. Also while we were cooking we burnt the baccon for breakfast and had heaps of smoke which activated the smoke alam this was also connected to the house alarm there is no instructions for how to stop the alarm we got told the code from bachcare when they phoned to make sure we where ok. Also when you leave what cleaning do we need to do you where not clear with your instructions.
