    “The location of the property and view from the back deck is beautiful.”

    We loved using the kayacks. The outdoor table is great for meals and relaxing. The beanbags were a nice find. Comfy bed, be clean sheets. Kitchen week equipped. However, there were a few issues for us. Firstly the property was not very clean. Maybe no one had stayed for a while but there was alot of dirt and grim around.

    We loved using the kayacks. The outdoor table is great for meals and relaxing. The beanbags were a nice find. Comfy bed, be clean sheets. Kitchen week equipped. However, there were a few issues for us. Firstly the property was not very clean. Maybe no one had stayed for a while but there was alot of dirt and grim around. The bedroom curtains were stuck together and pretty gross!! Then there was a handwritten note "if you have any problems with the shower you can use next door" What kind of problem we thought? And next door where? There was a type of granny flat behind the main accomodation but there were clothes and shoes there like someone was living there. Would they just return home to find us showering? So we tried the shower and the drain was blocked so it overflowed. Maybe next time just ring or email and explain, or just get it fixed? Very odd. Also the driveway is hard to spot and could have better signage. You also need to be a good reverser up the steep driveway thro a narrow gateway. Could be a really lovely property with a bit more love.
