"Our experience generally very good. Beds, lighting, air con all good. Two bathrooms good. Property was very suitable for our two dogs to stay with us, well fenced.One complaint that we had was that we could not get the stove top to work at all!!Tried every possible sequence of pushing buttons...no joy at all. All very frustrating. There was a "lock" diagram on the Cooktop, but no idea what for. A set of instructions would have been great!! And I could not contact the host via the Stayz pages for advice, also frustrating."
