    “The property is average overall.”

    The backyard is good and well maintained; however, there are a few issues that need to be addressed. Mattresses are old and need replacing . The hot water supply in the outhouse shower is inconsistent. Additionally, the door leading from the main house to the deck cannot be locked, which poses a safety concern for guests staying there with valuables.

    The backyard is good and well maintained; however, there are a few issues that need to be addressed. Mattresses are old and need replacing . The hot water supply in the outhouse shower is inconsistent. Additionally, the door leading from the main house to the deck cannot be locked, which poses a safety concern for guests staying there with valuables. Despite contacting Bachcare several times, these issues were not resolved. There is also no direct contact information provided for the managing agent, making it difficult to get immediate assistance when needed.

    Thank-you for your feedback,we don't know what's going on if no one tells us. The mattress in bedroom 1 in the house is three years old, can't vouch for the others but no one else has complained. Not to sure what's going on with the hot water in the sleep out, but will look into it thanks. The door to the deck does lock, you have to lift the handle to engage the locking lugs then you are able to lock the door, it does catch a few people out,as for not being able to contact batchcare I will take this up with them. I hope the rest of your stay was enjoyable. Thanks owners. Bachcare
