Inside house great & very clean, outside needs some attention eg windows need webbing & cleaning, comfortable seating to watch the beautiful views. I would stay again. ##### Lynette P.

My friend also said one of the beds had stained sheets. Other then that great place to stay! ##### Laura P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janette T. 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Forbesdale Lovely quiet location, large clean home, good quality comfortable beds, lovely linen, true to listing and excellant contact with host. We enjoyed our stay. House needs the following attention. Most windows dont latch closed. No point having lockable doors when you can slide open the windows! Window screens need replacing. Laundry needs a tub. Gaps between windows and doors to walls need to be filled so air doesnt come in or bugs. Water in vanity closest to the living area needs looking at as it has limited flow. Verandah decking needs replacing its dangerous. Outside areas need cleaning up. Lots of rubbish and looks like a building site. Overall needs a good spruce up. It doesnt look like it is loved. Bedrooms without wardrobes needs a bench to place your suitcase and a hanging rack. ##### Janette T.
