The ambience and leafy surrounds of the property.

It rained the whole stay and humidity was very high. Perhaps consider installing more cooling/heating options.

This was such a cute space. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was in a really quiet location but still close to the route we were travelling on. It had everything we needed for a comfortable night and the owner’s instructions were really clear.

Nice accommodation, but no air-conditioning made it uncomfortable as it was very humid.

Cooling

Location. Garden setting. Atmosphere.

Liked the location. The bed was comfy. It was a largish well stocked cabin. Attractive grounds. Dpidnt like - The drive in point wasn't clearly detailed in the email & we ended up annoying the guy in the other house on the property who said it happens all the time. The bathroom was external & physically challenging. A shower over a clawed bath with no handgrips to assist the climb in. The shower rail fell down while I was in the shower. It wasn't secured properly.

The entrance to the property wasn't clear in the email sent & we ended up annoying the guy in the other house on thenproperty who said it happens often. The bathroom was external- not great at night or in rainy weather. The bathroom was physically challenging with a shower over a clawed bath & no handrail for the orthopaedically challenged. The overhead shower rail was poorly secured & fell down while taking a shower. It wasn't secured properly. The toilet seat was wonky & when the light was on during the night it highlighted anyone sitting on.the toilet.

Location and setting

Super soft mattress

The photos of place was so different to other accommodation – quaint and rustic. I really wanted to like it.

On arrival the phone number listed would not connect, we waited for 10 – 15 minutes for this to be answered in order to locate the keys. During this time I experienced a high level of discomfort due to continual mosquito bites – at the end of 15 minutes I was totally covered in bites. There were pots of stagnant water (including the bird bath) full of mosquito larvae throughout the garden. The garden needs a lot of love & care to bring it to the same standards as displayed in the photos. On entry to the apartment, I needed to kill 2 large spiders (one was a red back). There were cobwebs & layers of dust throughout the clutter in the apartment. The apartment was very hot & had a musty, damp stench. We could not open any windows or doors due to condition of the flyscreens – the one that was there was too fragile to use & others completely missing. It had been a warm day so we missed air flow & air conditioning – the provided fan was exceptionally noisy & did little to lower the temperature. The kitchen benches were dirty. The pantry & fridge contained variety of food. Some were closed packages, however they also contained some strange items (eg an onion) & lots of opened and partly used packages/cartons eg an open 1 litre carton of milk, that did not even contain enough milk for a cup of coffee for 1 person…. who knows what had been done to the opened packages, especially as it is clear from the note left by the owner that possums & other creatures frequent the property. It was also very clear from the condition of the apartment that there needs to be maintenance, eg there were missing light globes in the light fixture, the smoke detector was clearly broken & detaching from the ceiling… with this in mind, it is unclear if this apartment would currently meet accommodation safety compliance. We attempted to contact the owner via email, as earlier we had difficulty doing this by phone – with no response.

Little extras like a robe and some snacks. Lovely soap. Milk for coffee/tea. Comfy bed. Surrounded by greenery.

A couple of maintenance things. Leaky shower thing and bathroom door hard to close - need to keep the possums out!
