False Advertising
I brought my grandson up to visit his cousins and he stayed with them, so I was at the house on my own. The house was listed as having internet WiFi but it did not. I advised the hosts that I was not able to access the internet because the network provider option they gave me was not listed on the network options. Their response was :
"Message from the host
Sorry to hear it’s not working. The thing can be iffy. Hopefully it’s working now perhaps. "
Well actually it NEVER worked. Additionally, the free to air TV didn't work either, until I attached the antenna and then I got only Channel 7.
I had hoped to get some work done while I was there, but I was unable to do that, and could not even watch anything except Channel 7. It was horrible.
Additionally, the lawn in the back yard was not mowed, and quite long. Difficult when you have a dog with you and you need to find it's poop to clean it up.
Really not impressed with the care and consideration of the owners of this property. I am looking for a place to base myself in Geelong when I come up for business and family and this will NOT be the property.

Lovely
Great spot, central Geelong location. Beautiful house! Great yard for kids & dog.
Unfortunately the week I stayed, there was no TV or internet. I notified the owners, but they brushed me off saying it was bad weather in Geelong, after my stay they did apologise as they found the antenna was broken and their internet company was faulty. Also advertises two car garage, it is 100% a one car garage. And the house advertised as "reverse cycle heating" but only has one heater in the kitchen / lounge room. The bedrooms have no heating or cooling / there were oil heaters in each wardrobe + a ceiling fan. But not what I was expecting from the description. But beautiful house,lovely stay, just different from my expectations, but would stay again.

Dads day
Nearly everything was great, the only downside was how noisy it was. The traffic noise from the main road was not nice, apart from that we enjoyed our stay. Thanks
