Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Muhammad K M., Tarneit Victoria 1 Jan 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness #### Disappointed with Property conditions \- the projector mentioned in advertisement was not working and broken most of the cables. Kids has nothing to watch. I sent message to the owner but did not received any reply until today. - No fly screen through out the property mean cannot open the windows. - house was not clean and cobwebs were everywhere in all bedrooms and bathrooms. we spend at least 2 hours to clean the cobwebs in all areas (including vacuum). ##### Muhammad K M. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cassidy S. 28 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Big house perfect for large groups in a super convenient location!! Awesome house to stay in, super spacious with big bedrooms, two kitchens & heaps of communal areas to enjoy! Great for big groups, super close to the main street of Cowes and the beach. Very accommodating, helpful hosts who were very easy to contact and super considerate of all covid restrictions etc. We all enjoyed our week a lot and would definitely stay again or recommend to others!! Thanks so much! :) ##### Cassidy S. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Remeeka L. 12 Feb 2019 #### Lots of space and close to shops Lots of space, great for a large group of people. Missing the little things though- like toilet paper! Would have been nice to know that we needed this and other things like dishwashing liquid before we arrived. The theatre system also didn't work which was disappointing and the owner didn't know how to operate it. Convenient to shops, beach etc. ##### Remeeka L. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lakhvinder D. 18 Jan 2019 #### Excellent property for big families We were 4 families with young kids, everyone enjoyed the stay. It's 5 bedroom ± theatre with a very big backyard. Walking distance to shops and close to beach. The house is also new and there are 2 kitchens ground & level one. As per the pictures we saw on homeaway the house better and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Ha for your lovely property as we really enjoyed our trip to Phillip Island. Theatre room was tricking as it was not user friendly to figure out how to use it but we never called Ha for any help as we want to be more outdoors than indoors. Guest who wants to use theatre I will recommend to take owners help. Anyways Ha thanks for your hospitality and we will be visiting in future for sure. Thanks Lakhvinder ##### Lakhvinder D. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 20 Jul 2017 #### We loved it! This place was perfect for our large family! We all got to cook together and spend time playing games, watching movies etc and also have time apart when we needed it. It was close enough to the main shopping strip and Cowes pier yet far enough to not have all the associated traffic. Large backyard, plenty of TVs, large open spaces on both floors and two kitchens! The theatre room was a hit with the kids playing games and the parents watching movies. My family is looking forward to coming back, thank you! This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nicole K. 17 Jan 2017 #### Do NOT stay here!!! From the moment we arrived to a badly-neglected front yard with waist-high weeds, we started to think we had made a mistake in choosing to spend our holiday here. The windows were very dirty and had obviously not been cleaned in a long time, and the yard had also not been maintained in ages. Upon entering the house we were greeted with filthy bed linen which had appalling stains, including a pillow and mattress protector which looked like someone with gastro had been using it. In the kitchen every cabinet door and door handle was sticky. We found old food in the fridge, dirty dishes in the cupboard and a grease-covered roasting tray in the pantry. The view from the rear balcony was a junk yard which is not an ideal view, but given the state of the outdoor furniture it's really not a place one would want to sit anyway. There were numerous broken and damaged items in the house. The DVD player would not work with the projector screen - even with an IT specialist and an engineer amongst us trying to establish a connection between the two. This rendered the projector room useless. We have travelled extensively all over the world and recently completed a trip across Australia. In all our travels, we have NEVER come across a place as badly maintained as this one. The photos on the Stayz website are very misleading. We took numerous photos of the appalling state of this house. It is a pity that we cannot post them on this review. So do yourselves a favour. Stay well away from this place. It's just not worth it! ##### Nicole K. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Johannesburg (JNB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/jnb/birmingham-to-johannesburg) > > [Singapore Airlines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Airlines-Flights.cSQ.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Packages > [Amsterdam Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam.d178229.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [New York Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York.d178293.Holidays-City-Breaks)
