Thanks for your 5-star review Karl, it was a pleasure hosting you and your guests for your 34th birthday! Heyfield Hideaway is a great property for that purpose, with a large holiday house, a self-contained cottage, tennis court, heated spa, fire pit all set amongst private coastal gardens. We are very happy to hear you enjoyed all the facilities and the fabulous location. We hope you can stay with us again soon! Best regards, the Coast and Country Getaways team

House was great, state of the house not so great.

The layout of the house is great. Tennis courts, Cottage, fire pit, etc. are all fun. However, the state of the property needs to be improved. The two BBQs were filthy, shower door of the rail, bathroom door not closing fully and the back porch door was really hard to close. To top it off, they made all this fuss about us emptying the bins but we came to the property with the bins mostly full. The property has great potential, and we made the most of it, but the owners really need to put a bit of money to clean up the place.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 March 2020
Thanks for the constructive feedback. We will look into those items immediately to ensure they are fixed and are not an issue in the future.
