The little touches like quality amenities in the bathrooms and coffee beans in the kitchen were lovely. Nicely furnished with comfortable beds. Good location close to shopping centres, restaurants and really quiet neighbourhood. The only complaint is the property was advertised as having a hot tub and there was no hot tub. ##### Karen D. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Karissa 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Amenities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The house was so unclean, crumbs and hairs in the bed. The cutlery and cups were dirty. Dog hair on the floor, marks all over the walls. The back of the bedroom door is filthy. The house could do with a good clean. ##### Karissa Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### jr1791 4 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great property for families Roomy home 10 mins drive to the city and Strand. Great security with lockup garage and locks on windows, etc in good neighbourhood. Supermarkets and shopping centres within a 5 minute drive. Had some issues with the electrical items in the kitchen, could not operate toaster and stove at the same time without tripping safety switch. Light globes in bathroom and kitchens needed replacing. Could not get microwave to work. ##### jr1791 Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel O. 17 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy accommodation Clean, well situated. large bedrooms and nice bathrooms. Big washing machine. No dryer but wasn't really an issue. Laundry door locked which made it difficult to get to cloths line but miner inconvenience. We arrived on bin day so the bins hadn't been put out and emptied but the property management arranged for these to be emptied promptly. Shopping centre 3 min drive and about 10 min drive to the centre of town. Was a 5 min drive to street parking for the football stadium which meant a 10 min walk to the stadium itself. Overall great location. ##### Daniel O. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### James H. 12 Feb 2024 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Nice house just not clean The house itself is nice and modern, cleaner was still there when we wanted to check in. The state of the couch was very poor, we put sheets on them. Dirty walls, dirty containers and pots and pans. Communication with the manager was good though, we were there for the cyclone and the side fence came down. Manager tried to help but was a public holiday. Apart from the cleanliness issues, the location and actual house was good. ##### James H. Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rece W. 20 Dec 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Looks can be deceiving. The house is big enough for us and it's in a good area. Unfortunately, they have the wrong key for us when we arrived, and it took almost 15-20 mins before the property manager get back to us. The house is nice but it's not as clean as expected. The donna in our bedroom was disgusting with wee stains. The couches were not vacuum and steamed clean it has some stains and animal hair, Kitchen cupboards are dirty inside and outside same us the vanity cupboards in the bathroom. Windowsill and skirting are dusty and have some gecko droppings. Lights in the bathroom not working properly keeps flickering. Ashtray outside was full not empty. Also, we're told that you can't modify or change your bookings even if its 2 weeks away from your booking, so I don't recommend this place at all. ##### Rece W.
