Clean, very simple, the owner very helpful and comunicative. Exactly as described . If you like to disconect, this is the perfect place. Only Telstra works but hard to get coneccion ervey where on the island. ##### Elizabeth G. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tim 16 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication No doors, tiny rooms, no real entertaining area. To be fair, it is an old property and for its age I guess it did the job. We were not aware it would be soo small with no doors and snoring kept us all up. It was clean and usable. ##### Tim Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew 17 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Good location. Property manager Bree is very helpful and friendly. Cottage is clean and comfortable enough however some ceiling fans would be appreciated as it gets very hot at night with no breeze. Good fridge and separate chest freezer to keep your food cold. Could not get the oven or grill to work and was frustrated there were no tongs anywhere we could find, otherwise cuutlery and dishes selection good and BBQ cooked well enough. Would stay again but next time I'll bring a fan. ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Denise S. 16 Oct 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Not suitable for habitation The property was advertised as a beach shack. It was a 50 year old fibro building with limited access to electricity. It was dirty, with wood rot and peeling paint. The bed was ridiculous, and the offer of a few bits of foam from the renter was a joke. It took three days to work out how to get a hot shower adequately. There is not way this property would meet any building codes and should not be put up for rent. And it was not cheap, so price was not the issue. ##### Denise S. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lyle D. 29 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent holiday Lovely surroundings. Bree is a welcoming hostess, with good local knowledge of flora and fauna. Great to be able to see native bees, birds, and lizards. ##### Lyle D.
