“Stunning views, quiet area but when ur paying a $200 cleaning fee I would expect the place to be cleaner.”

Fridge was dirty, windows had hand prints all over them, surfaces had dead insects/poo on them. Could provide a fan for bedrooms as was quite warm at night

We’re glad you enjoyed the stunning views and peaceful location, but we’re truly sorry the cleanliness wasn’t up to standard. This is not what we aim for, and we’ll be addressing it with our cleaning team immediately. We also appreciate your suggestion about adding a fan for the bedrooms and will look into this. Your feedback is invaluable, and we hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Bachcare

“Lots of ant dirt everywhere, dishwasher doesn’t work, and gas bottles for the BBQ was empty, with no spare.”

The view was picturesque (which is why it’s gets 2 stars and not 1) but for the cleanliness of the property it’s not worth the $650 per night we paid. It’s a very old Bach which has not been well maintained.

- Simon, December 2024

Thank you for your feedback Simon, we are sorry to hear about the issues during your stay. This is not the standard we expect for our guests and will be following up with the local manager to ensure everything has been remedied and that future guests are not impacted. Bachcare
