The location and view is amazing. The size and spaciousness of the rooms and the beds make for a very comfortable stay.
Unfortunately the location next to the lake also means that as night falls, hoardes of insects are attracted to any lights. The host warned us about this only a couple of hours before our arrival and while some windows are fitted with gauze screens, not enough for the whole house made for a very hot and stuffy summer night trapped indoors.
The furnishings were odd and better quality could have been found at a second hand shop. Many of them broken and not even tried to cover up.
There were insects on the top of the range hood when we arrived. Also bird poop all over the barbeque area- places that should have been clean.
The TV set up was missing a remote for the Dish TV box so there was no chance of getting it working. A Vodafone set top box was provided but this service stopped operating over two years ago and its network cable was plugged directly into the TV so neither of them were going to get any service.
Lights in the main ensuite flicker and are unusable. Soap in the dispensers have been watered down to a maximum. A single bedside light in the main bedroom that didn't work because it had an American plug on it. On further investigation, the four-way adapter plug that it was probably using had been removed to set up another TV with no reception. Many more examples...
Overall lacking finishing touches and not worth the money
