Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Claire O. 25 Nov 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Great house, shame about the garden The inside of the property was clean, neat & tidy with everything one could need. However, the outside was dirty, dusty with leaf debris everywhere. There was no firewood left on the property. ##### Claire O. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Matt B. 6 Nov 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### No towels or bedsheets! Read the fine print and check the pictures! The beds have doonas with covers but after that no sheets and no towels provided. Further down in the property description it says no linen... For the price of the property this is simply misaligned. Great Ocean Retreats helped us out (thanks team!) but clearly they are aware of the customer understanding gap with the pre trip message highlighting this lack of property feature. Inside was clean however outside was very poor. It is a bush setting so not expecting clean (love a relaxed atmosphere), but tables and chairs were simply filthy with no effort made to prepare for a customers stay. Again simply misaligned to the price of the property. ##### Matt B.
