This is the second year we have stayed at this house but we wont be back. We thought we would give it a second chance unless the first year was just bad luck, but it appears it is the normal. The house is located in an area where many local tradies live, so noise starts early - if you want to sleep in forget it. Many are also owner builders so that noise continues when they are at home in the evenings and all weekend. The house itself needs a makeover as many things are old and in need of upgrades (ie: couches, rugs). The upstairs bedroom ensuite shower doesn’t have a wall mount so you have to hold the shower head and wash one handed. Impossible for washing hair. The downstairs bathroom shower is in the bath - ie: difficult for anyone with mobility issues and quite slippery. It can get very warm upstairs in the summer. The upstairs lounge has no fly wire on the windows or doors to the deck, so the house is usually full of flys and other insects. Many of the insects get stuck in the windows near the ceiling and die in the many spiderwebs that line the windows. The downstairs area could do with some comfortable furniture to sit on and a desk or table to work at for those who work remotely. The bedrooms have fans but no airconditioning. The upstairs airconditioner is in the lounge and makes little impact to cooling the bedroom at night. The upstairs bed was comfortable and the house has ample plates, cups, bowls, etc. It is quite basic but mostly clean. The yard is safe for dogs although we didn’t let our dogs go to the side area out the back as it was full of dog poo and unmaintained. The back and front yard was also full of cigarette butts from a previous tenant. Summary - OK stay but needs some more furniture and love - we wont be back.
