Exceeded expectations

This stay was exactly what we needed. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfy and we had plenty of room outside for our dog. 3 spots for offstreet parking. Easy checkin and checkout. Would definitely stay again.

To visit terminally ill son; subsequent death & funeral (not a holiday)

Unable to identify any microwave safe bowls etc. Pet friendly but query secure for small dog (I leaned two tiles to block an opening) and worried if safe - accumulated garden waste behind shed could (?) attract snakes.

Thank you for your review and I am saddened to hear that you had so many issues with the property but did not bring any to our attention during the entire two months you stayed at the property. I feel your review is reflected by the fact the business would not refund you in full when you tried to cancel your two month booking 48hours before you were due to arrive as you had been offered alternate accommodation through friends for free. Then unfortunately you treated the staff poorly as they explained the terms and conditions of the cancellation policy to you. We even offered you to change the booking to a different date however you refused and continue to be rude. We recommend any issues you have at any future accommodation that you advise the host personally as soon as you discover it instead of reviewing a very lovely and well liked holiday rental publicly. This at least gives any host the opportunity to rectify the issues in a fair manner. Best wishes for the future.

Dissapointed.

Well it was a bit disappointing,I rang the Real Estate 1 week before to order the linen. We got there and checked the beds and no linen.So rang the real estate as it was late on the Saturday,only Emeremcy number,no reply until next day. Also there are mouses,rats in the ceiling,walls in this property.As lots of sound,noises through the night. And the weather top it off. Then had to race home as my hubby needed hospital attention,in Toowoomba.

Banksia Beach Pet Friendly

Positives: Very clean, kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of space for our family of 5 and our dog. Dishwasher was small, but kept up with our family fine. Close to great park and walkways. 15 mins drive to Woorim or Bongaree. Drawbacks: lots of knick-knacks around that aren't great for younger, inquisitive children and mattresses on both beds weren't great, which lost a star for my overall rating.
