This property is in a great location, however the property itself is very run down and the house is

This property is in a great location, however the property itself is very run down and the house is unclean inside. Simple things like outdoor furniture is all wobbly and falling apart, terrible BBQ considering this is what most people would cook with. Just a really dirty feel about it and not anywhere to put our stuff as it was full of the owners things, food etc. Such a shame to have paid $300 a night for this.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 March 2020
Thanks for your feedback. We have fixed the outdoor furniture and replaced the BBQ with a new one with a hood. As advertised, the house is a family bach, which we rent for a few weeks each year. As such, we leave out all our beach toys, DVD's, books and board games for people renting our bach to use. We would hope this compensates for the few condiments and stores we keep in the kitchen fridge and pantry. There is also a second fridge/freezer downstairs that is left totally empty.

Happy with our stay but!

I had difficulties with the booking it says it sleeps 8 but we had to pay extra for a seventh person. Found the a bit dirty in places ie draws utensils etc couldn’t get the tv to work and no Wi-Fi.what does the service fee cover?

Response from VrboOwner on 8 January 2023
Hi Brian. Our cleaner serviced the property the day before your arrival. I have asked her to check draws as part of her task schedule moving forward. Confused about the rest of your review as our listing clearly states rental is for 6x adults and our property has no WiFi. The service fee is nothing to do with us but is Bookabach Fee for using their online service.

Great property for a group of friends or family

This property was perfect for what we needed. There was the owners laundry still being hung up, some dishes were dirty and there was heaps of dog poo on the back yard. Overall cleanliness wasn’t that great, and pictures haven’t been updated as the property is actually upgraded and rooms look much different. Apart from that it was a lovely place to stay and me and my friends enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming back.

Great alternative for a big family with a dog.

We loved the easy stroll to the estuary, which is a must if you have a dog and an infant. Plenty of board games and dvds kinda make up for the lack of wifi when the weather is not good, and plenty of outdoor gear too!

We enjoyed the house and location but disappointed in the cleanliness.

The house wasn’t very clean, ants witch we had to spray in bath room, cockroaches, and fleas witch us 5 minutes after arrival. Plates and cutlery and frying pan and to be washed before use. Dogs have clearly been in the house as hair was found. The bikes that where there for our use all had flat Tyers the kayak had two oars witch one was broken. The back bed room downstairs was musty dew to lack of window opening. Over all we felt WE left the house cleaner that it was at our arrival.
