Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janitta P. 9 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### How Good!! 😍 This holiday home was perfect for us! A very clean, comfortable and spacious house, caters to all ages and what a gorgeous spot! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, highly recomend and we would stay again. Only other feedback would be extra towels, bath mats, tea, and coffee would be appreciated as there were 9 of us staying for 3 nights. ##### Janitta P. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Richard B. 27 Apr 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Holiday We stayed here with our extended family over a long weekend. The views from the bach were the main reason why we booked and they did not disappoint. The cleanliness of the Bach was not great on arrival, it was clear that only a surface level clean had been done for some time. The bunk bed is very squeaky, which didn’t help when trying to get the kids to sleep. Good location with only a short walk to the jetty and waterfront. ##### Richard B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Reinhard G. 17 Oct 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Neglected and dirty This was by far the most neglected and dirtiest property we ever rented as a holiday accommodation. The carpet was full of hair, the entrance area had lot's of spider webs. Dishes and cutlery had to be washed before we could use them. Totally unacceptable. ##### Reinhard G. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben M. 21 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful spot Great spot ##### Ben M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth T. 17 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for families Size and layout are perfect for families. Plenty of toys and activities available. Lovely location and views. Very clean and tidy inside. Comfortable beds. The exterior of the house needs attention, but from the inside all good. ##### Elizabeth T. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### David C. 26 Mar 2021 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Disappointing- great location and views but a work in progress This property has great potential but it is still a work in progress. On the positive: great views, handy to Picton, quiet neighbourhood. Interior decorations completed to date have modernised the home. Negatives: But there are no hand rails on the steps from the external decks to the land. The safety rail on the eastern deck by the left hand steps would not save anyone. Weather boards are in poor condition, many requiring full replacement. Dish washer does not dispense powder so poor wash. Those seated on the bench seat at the dining table once in cannot get out. Flat tyres on bikes and no sign of bike pumps. Only found two of the four moon chairs. Requested additional bath towels but told there is a washing machine. No hand towel in the toilet off the bunk room. No flowing soap in any of the bathrooms. I feel it was overpriced for what we got. Sorry. ##### David C. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle C. 2 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay, room to park the boat Great stay, close to boat ramp. Child friendly, peaceful location. ##### Michelle C.
