Quiet, peaceful, 5 mins from swimming in the stinger enclosure and shops. Very effective air-conditioning- essential in NQ summer. Kitchen well set up - we chose to mostly eat in. Working washing machine was handy for longer stays. Maybe, a technician could improve the sound of the TV - very echo-y for some reason. A top place - we would return. ##### Kathy J.

Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Hannah W. 10 Jul 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Kismet Kismet is convinently located and in a beautiful quite cul de sac. Decorated very nicely and embracing some of those gorgeous vintage traits of a house of its era. The kitchen has all the supplies we needed and some very nice tableware to boot. The beds were comfortable and had plenty of extra sheets/ blankets for cool nights. It didnt bother me not having curtains in the second bed area, however might bother some people. The only thing we couldnt find was the bbq that the welcome information had on it, however we didnt need one anyway. Assuming to COVID it is likely that the cleanliness has been overlooked before our check in, with the place been very dusty, ?a blood spot on the windowsill and the bathroom sink tap been taped over. The most concerning thing for us became the very large rusted out hole in the air vent for the house waste/septic system, which we discovered due to a wafting smell and a unmovable resident frog. There was also some overflow of toilet waste from this location. The property manager was prompt at sending a plumber, however he was unable to fix this before we left. Overall a nice location with all the amenities you could need. Perfect for a lovely getaway with your partner or a friend etc. ##### Hannah W. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### miranda j., melbourne 5 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little base for 2 within easy walking distance to beach and shops Lovely little cottage - quiet and well set up. Kitchen basics avl. Suitable for a couple. The single bed only really suitable for a young child and no curtains in that area but they don’t advertise it as more than 1 bedroom so fine. Main bedroom lovely w ceiling fan,nice linen and comfy king size bed. We had our food delivered by the supermarket in Nelly Bay as we didn’t have a car. Cindy and her team very helpful and check in/out easy. Close to beach and not far to walk to bus stops but at the end of a quiet steeet. ##### miranda j.

Organization, check-in etc. was super easy; great location close to the beach and all major shops and restaurants in Horseshoe Bay; perfectly clean; beautifully decorated cottage, so many beautiful details (beach vibes); kitchen fully equipped; house generally has pretty much everything already there.
